Lyrics

The cross is hea­vy—this I know—
But there’s a bless­èd place
Where I can flee in time of need
And find suf­fi­cient grace.

Refrain

Sufficient grace, suf­fi­cient grace,
His word now of­fers me;
And when I see Him face to face,
His grace my theme shall be.

When dark the storm around me rolls,
It can­not hide His face;
Then to the mer­cy seat I flee
And find suf­fi­cient grace.

Refrain

And when the tempt­er comes, and would
God’s work in me ef­face,
Then to the Sav­ior I will go
And find suf­fi­cient grace.

Refrain

Tho’ oft I tread some thor­ny way,
Upon my Chris­tian race,
I’m sure that al­ways, day by day,
I’ll find suf­fi­cient grace.
