I'll sing of the wonderful promise

1
I'll sing of the wonderful promise
That Jesus has given to me;
"My strength is made perfect in weakness,
My grace is sufficient for thee."
And lest my poor heart should forget it,
Or ever forgetful should be,
He still keeps repeating the promise,
My grace is sufficient for thee.
  Yes, over and over and over,
My Savior keeps saying to me;
My strength is made perfect in weakness,
  My grace is sufficient for thee.
2
His grace is sufficient to save me,
And cleanse me from guilt and from sin;
Sufficient to sanctify wholly,
And give me His Spirit within.
His grace is sufficient for trials,
No matter how hard they may be,
This promise stands over against them,
My grace is sufficient for thee.
3
His grace is sufficient for sickness,
Sustaining and making me whole;
His grace is sufficient when sorrows
Like billows roll over the soul.
His grace is sufficient for service,
It sets us from selfishness free,
And sends us to tell to the tried ones,
His grace is sufficient for thee.
4
His grace is sufficient to live by,
And should we be summoned to die
'Twill light up the valley of shadows,
And bear us away to Him nigh.
Or when we shall stand in His vict'ry,
And Christ in His glory shall see,
We'll fall at His footstool confessing,
Thy grace was sufficient for me.
5
It is not our grace that's sufficient,
But His grace, it ever must be:
Our graces are transient and changing;
His grace is unfailing as He.
And so I am ever repeating
His wonderful promise to me,
My strength is made perfect in weakness,
My grace is sufficient for thee.

Lest my Poor Heart should forget it...He still keeps repeating the promise...His Grace is sufficient for me!

Many times we fail the Lord and we tend to forget that His grace is sufficient to hold and keep us...To His own master, He stands or falls...Our standing is by the Lord! Maybe we are forgetful...but He keeps repeating the promise....Lord Your Grace is sufficient for me!

His strength is made perfect in weakness! His grace is sufficient for me! I appreciate this hymn so much. We need our Savior to tell us over and over and over that He NEEDS our weaknesses! Amen for sufficient grace.

I like the original tune, but I like this new tune even better. It is more joyful and uplifting.

I especially like verse 3, "His grace is sufficient for service, it sets us from selfishness free, and sends us to tell to the tried ones, 'His grace is sufficient for thee.'"
