The Perrys - His Grace Is Sufficient For Me Lyrics
Lyrics
God's tender mercy and grace amazes me
Even though I'm so undeserving
He surrounds me with His love
He always takes time to listen
His still small voice speaks to me
And says my grace is sufficient for thee
His grace is sufficient for thee
No matter the problem o'er me
He's seated by the Father
Interceding for you and me
His grace is sufficient for thee
So, wipe the tears from your eyes
He knows your need
Don't be discouraged, don't be dismayed
Your miracle is on the way
And don't give up for you feel hopeless
And this dark valley seems so deep
Remember His grace is sufficient for thee
His grace is sufficient for thee
No matter the problem o'er me
He's seated by the Father
Interceding for you and me
His grace is sufficient for thee
Oh, He's seated by the Father
Interceding for you and me
Yes, His grace is sufficient
His grace is sufficient
His grace is sufficient for thee

His Grace Is Sufficient For Me
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 19, 2019, The Perrys' "His Grace Is Sufficient For Me" is a profound musical declaration of God's unwavering sufficiency in the lives of believers. The song dives deep into the experience of feeling undeserving yet being consistently surrounded by divine love and attentive presence. It eloquently captures that quiet, internal assurance, that "still small voice" as the lyrics describe, which whispers the comforting truth of God's adequate grace. This assurance is not merely a fleeting feeling but a foundational reality, a promise that echoes through the heart of the believer.
The central message resonates with the biblical understanding of God's grace as a boundless and ever-present gift, especially highlighted in passages like 2 Corinthians 12:9, where the Apostle Paul recounts God's response to his weakness: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." This verse forms the bedrock of the song's anthem, affirming that no matter the trials or burdens that weigh us down, God's grace is more than enough to sustain us. The lyrics further connect this truth to Jesus' intercessory work, stating that He is "seated by the Father, interceding for you and me." This powerful imagery draws directly from Romans 8:34, which declares Christ's role as our advocate: "Who then is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus who died—moreover, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is interceding for us." This celestial mediation assures us that our prayers and struggles are not unheard or unseen but are actively being presented before the throne of God.
The song offers a powerful antidote to despair and discouragement. It urges listeners to "wipe the tears from your eyes" and not be "dismayed," reminding them that God "knows your need." This echoes the promise found in Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." The encouragement to persevere, even when "this dark valley seems so deep" and one feels "hopeless," is rooted in the unwavering certainty that a "miracle is on the way." This isn't about waiting passively but about holding onto the steadfast assurance of God's power to bring about transformation and deliverance, a concept woven throughout Scripture, from the trials of the Israelites to the redemptive work of Christ. The repetition of the phrase "His grace is sufficient for thee" serves as a powerful affirmation, reinforcing the song's core message of divine adequacy and the believer's secure reliance on God's boundless mercy and power.
