With the Help of Thy Grace

(chorus) With the help of Thy grace I’m gonna sin no more

And with the help of Thy grace I’m gonna love you more

I know that it’s no disgrace to rely on You

I’m gonna make it thru with the help of Thy grace

I fall down again, a bitter disappointment

And the very One I long to please, I offend

So I face You again with my heart laid bare

And Your love breaks thru the fear and shame

And my heart is Yours again and everything is new

(chorus)

Lord, what shall I do? I long to serve You

But I fear that I can’t walk Your path, and that I’ll be untrue

But my weakness is my strength, that’s what You say

So I turn my tear-stained face to You

Trusting You to make me strong to bring honor to Your Name

(chorus)

(bridge) When the storm is all around me

I’ll seek shelter in Your harbor

Knowing nothing can separate me

From Your ever-faithful love

I know that it’s no disgrace to rely on You

I’m gonna make it thru

With the help of Thy grace
