Edwin Dadson - This Far By Grace Lyrics

“This Far By Grace” is a testimony of endurance credited entirely to God. The singer looks back on sickness, heartbreak, and repeated failure, yet remains standing because divine grace has not withdrawn. Survival is not treated as self-made achievement; every declaration of having made it returns to the Lord’s sustaining favor. The brief Twi phrase, “Yesu adom nti,” reinforces the same confession: the distance already covered has been possible because of Jesus’ grace.

The theme closely reflects 1 Corinthians 15:10, where Paul credits his identity and labor to the grace of God. It also recalls 2 Corinthians 12:9, in which divine grace is sufficient amid weakness. Through its compact verses and recurring refrain, the song turns personal history into praise. Failure does not receive the final word, and hardship does not erase God’s faithfulness. The repeated phrase “this far by grace” therefore serves as both remembrance and thanksgiving, directing attention away from human strength and toward the God who sustains.
