“My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee”

When, sin-stricken, burdened, and weary,

   From bondage I longed to be free,

There came to my heart the sweet message:

   “My grace is sufficient for thee.”

Though tempted and sadly discouraged,

   My soul to this refuge will flee,

And rest in the blessed assurance:

   “My grace is sufficient for thee.”

My bark may be tossed by the tempest

   That sweeps o’er the turbulent sea–

A rainbow illumines the darkness:

   “My grace is sufficient for thee.”

O Lord, I would press on with courage,

   Though rugged the pathway may be,

Sustained and upheld by the promise:

   “My grace is sufficient for thee.”

Soon, soon will the warfare be over,  

   My Lord face to face I shall see,

And prove, as I dwell in His presence:

   “His grace was sufficient for me.”
