Lyrics
It's by Your grace
It's by Your mercy
It's by Your love
That I am here today
And I will praise
Oluwa it's by Your grace
Oluwa if not You where would I be
I would have die oh
Oluwa I am grateful
Jesus many many people said I wasn't good enough
Many many people said I wouldn't make it
But Your grace appeared
What You need to do is just trust God
And He's gonna bless You too
It's by Your grace
It's by Your mercy
It's by Your love
That I am here today
And I will praise
Oluwa it's by Your grace
Oluwa Oluwa Oluwa
It's by Your grace
Oluwa Oluwa Oluwa
It's by Your grace

Meaning & Inspiration
It’s By Your Grace is a testimony of dependence on God’s mercy, love, and sustaining favor. The repeated confession that grace explains the singer’s present standing gives the song a clear center: survival and progress are received as gifts rather than treated as personal achievements. Gratitude rises naturally from that conviction, especially in the repeated praise to Oluwa, a Yoruba name for the Lord. The verses also contrast discouraging judgments from other people with confidence in God’s help.
The song’s emphasis on grace as a gift aligns with Ephesians 2:8-9, which rules out boasting in human effort. Its gratitude for continued life and mercy also recalls Lamentations 3:22-23, where divine compassion is described as unfailing and renewed. The assurance that grace meets weakness may also be connected cautiously with 2 Corinthians 12:9. Together, these passages illuminate a testimony shaped by gratitude, endurance, and trust in God rather than approval from others.
