I Need Grace

V6

[Verse 1] Am I a husband who has loved enough? A father who has stayed when days were rough? Have I been faithful when the road was long, Or have my failures drowned the good I’ve done? I look into the faces that I love, And wonder if I’ve given them enough. The questions rise like shadows in the night: “Was I the man I should have been in life?” [Pre-Chorus] I know the words, I know the way, I’ve taught Your truth, I’ve preached Your name. But when I stand before my heart, I find how weak and poor I am. [Chorus] I need grace, Lord, I need grace, Not another mask upon my face. When I cannot prove that I am worthy, Let me rest beneath Your mercy. I need grace, Lord, I need grace, For my failures and my hidden shame. I am not enough to save myself— But Christ is enough for me. Christ is enough for me. [Verse 2] Am I a son who honored those who gave Their years and prayers to help me find my way? Am I a brother who has loved his own, Or have I built my walls and stood alone? I carry names and faces in my heart, Some healed by time, some wounded by my part. And every question whispers once again: “Can grace still reach a man who knows his sin?” [Pre-Chorus] I know logos, I can speak the truth, I know pathos, I can feel the wounds. But ethos—Lord, I know my need: My life must match the words I preach. [Chorus] I need grace, Lord, I need grace, Not another mask upon my face. When I cannot prove that I am worthy, Let me rest beneath Your mercy. I need grace, Lord, I need grace, For my failures and my hidden shame. I am not enough to save myself— But Christ is enough for me. Christ is enough for me. [Verse 3] Am I a teacher, preacher, shepherd, guide? Can I proclaim Your truth and live it right? What if the man behind the pulpit falls Far short of all the things he tells them all? Then You remind me: Peter knew the shame Of promising his love and failing Your name. Yet You restored him by the Galilee sea, And said, “Feed My sheep”—then called him to believe. [Bridge] I am not saved because I got it right. I am not loved because I proved my worth. When I am weak, You do not turn away. When I confess, You meet me with Your grace. You do not ask me to pretend I’m strong— You teach a broken man to lean on You. [Worship Build] Grace for the husband, Grace for the father, Grace for the son who has fallen short. Grace for the brother, Grace for the teacher, Grace for the preacher standing before You. Not my record, Not my righteousness— Christ alone, Christ crucified. [Final Chorus] I need grace, Lord, I need grace, And I have found it in Your face. When I cannot prove that I am worthy, You remind me I am Yours completely. I need grace, Lord, I need grace, Every morning, every single day. I am not enough to save myself— But Christ is enough for me. [Outro] So let me love my family by Your grace, Let me serve Your church by Your grace. Let me teach Your Word by Your grace, Let me walk in truth by Your grace. I need grace. Christ is enough for me.
