Encouraged by the song choices of St. Peter’s Dundee, tonight I sang Chris Tomlin’s Your Grace Is Enough (first line: Great Is Your Faithfulness O God) for evening fellowship at mgpc.

The lyrics are attractive in their focus on God’s activity in our lives and His faithfulness to His promises. These rest well with the covenant theological focus of Presbyterians. The gospel is implicit, rather than spelt out, but the singer testifies that they are passive and grateful recipients of God’s grace.

The song is reasonably easy to pick up, not overly repetitive, actually has two verses and does not overstay its welcome. Our midi file, purchased from Worship Downloads goes for about 3.30 minutes.

The lyrics (sheet music pdf download available at Kingsway Music):
1.
Great is Your faithfulness, O God;
You wrestle with the restless heart.
You lead us by still waters into mercy,
And nothing can keep us apart.
Refrain.
So, remember Your people,
Remember Your children,
Remember Your promise, O God.
Your grace is enough,
Your grace is enough,
Your grace is enough for me.
2.
Great is Your love and justice, God of Jacob;
You use the weak to lead the strong.
You lead us in the song of Your salvation,
And all Your people sing along.
Refrain.
Your grace is enough,
Heaven reaching down to us.
Your grace is enough for me.
God, I see Your grace is enough;
I’m covered in Your love.
Your grace is enough for me, for me.

Various arrangements will repeat the refrain differently.

Here’s a YouTube featuring Chris Tomlin on vocals. There’s a lot of these out there, including some of Tomlin being filmed during concerts. This one has nice pictures.
