Lyrics
Verse 1
I will carry my cross
For all of my days
I have counted the cost
Lord, lead me in Your ways
I depend on Your love
But sometimes I want to say
"Lord, take this cup from me"
Pre-Chorus
Still I will praise You even if You don't
'Cause where I'm weak, my Father, You are strong
Chorus
Sometimes it's the pain that makes me lean on my Beloved
Sometimes in the suffering we meet
But sometimes it's my brokenness that keeps me
Kneeling at the foot of the cross
Lord, You're still worthy
Verse 2
There is coming a day
When I'll leave this all behind
And we'll see face to face
As You wipe every tear from my eye
And at last I will say
"It was worth it all this time
Just to be with You, my God"
Pre-Chorus 2
Still I will praise You even in the storm
'Cause where I'm weak, my Father, You are strong
Still I will praise You even in the storm
'Cause where I'm weak, my Father, You are strong
Chorus
Sometimes it's the pain that makes me lean on my Beloved
Sometimes in the suffering we meet
And sometimes it's my brokenness that keeps me
Kneeling at the foot of the cross
Lord, You're still worthy

Oh, Your grace is sufficient for me
And Your power is made perfect in my weakness
Lord, Your grace is sufficient for me
And Your power is made perfect in my weakness
Oh, Your grace is sufficient for me
And Your power is made perfect in my weakness
Oh, Your grace is sufficient for me
And Your power is made perfect in my weakness
Oh Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
Sufficient For Me is a worship song about suffering and trust. The first verse promises to carry the cross for all of the singer's days, having counted the cost, while admitting that there are times of wanting to say "Lord, take this cup from me." The pre-chorus answers that the singer will still praise Him even if He does not remove the trouble, because He is strong where the singer is weak.
The chorus says that pain and brokenness can lead to leaning on the Beloved and kneeling at the foot of the cross, and the second verse looks to a coming day of seeing Him face to face when He wipes away every tear. The bridge repeats that His grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in weakness. The themes follow 2 Corinthians 12:9, Luke 22:42 and Revelation 21:4. The patient, repeated bridge gives the song an honest, steady tone for those facing hardship.
