Lyrics

Verse 1


I rest my soul on Jesus
When the mountains shake
I put my trust in Jesus
The moment I awake


Verse 2


And when my soul is lost at sea
He will be my rock
My vision be in Christ alone
This grace is all we've got


Chorus


His love is like the mighty ocean
His love for me will never stop
Oh, His arms are strong enough to carry me
Through it all, by the grace of God


Verse 3


So I, upon His shoulders
Safely brought this far
Helper of my helpless soul
The King of broken hearts


Chorus (Repeat)


Bridge


You are the passion of my life, Lord Jesus
You are the song within my soul
My strength, my hope, my all in all is You
Jesus, You


Interlude


Thank You, Lord


Verse 4


When breath grows still and night draws near
I will not be afraid
I know the plans He has for me
Don't finish at my grave


Chorus (Repeat x2)


Outro


By Your grace, I'm saved

Meaning & Inspiration

"By the Grace of God" opens by naming rest placed specifically on Jesus even while mountains shake, pairing present instability with an immediate act of trust renewed each morning. That daily renewal, trust placed the moment of waking, grounds the song's confidence in ongoing practice rather than a single past decision.

Its chorus compares that love to a mighty ocean, naming divine strength sufficient to carry the singer through every circumstance by grace alone. A later verse addresses mortality directly, describing stillness of breath and approaching night without fear, crediting confidence to a known plan that does not end at the grave.

Rooted in contemporary worship's testimony-driven style, the song functions as an extended declaration of trust sustained from daily waking through final breath, its bridge naming Jesus directly as life's passion and only hope, closing the song on a concise final confession, saved entirely by grace.
