Hymn: “His Grace Is Sufficient for Me”
Many times I’m tried and tested
As I travel day by day
Oft I meet with pain and sorrow
And there’s trouble in the way.
But I have the sweet assurance
That my soul, the Lord will lead
And in Him there is strength for every need.
CHORUS:
O, His grace is sufficient for me.
And His love is abundant and free.
And what joy fills my soul,
Just to know, just to know
That His grace is sufficient for me.
When the tempter brings confusion
And I don’t know what to do,
On my knees I turn to Jesus,
For I know He’ll see me through.
Then despair is changed to victr’y;
Every doubt just melts away
And in Him there is hope for everyday.
