Luther Barnes's song 'God's Grace' is a testimony of gratitude and reflection on God's sustaining power throughout life's challenges. The lyrics recount how the singer made it through valleys, storms, and even moments of straying, attributing every step to God's grace and mercy. The song emphasizes that despite difficulties and doubts from others, it is only by God's grace that he is still standing. It connects to the biblical theme of grace as an unmerited favor that carries believers through trials, echoing the sentiment of 2 Corinthians 12:9 where God's grace is sufficient.

How did I make it all these years?
How did I make it this far?
Through the valleys and over the hills,
I know it had to be God.
How did I make it through the storm?
How did I make it through the rain?
If you want to know, just how I got here, it's so easy to explain.
It was God's grace [4x]
(God's grace) [4x]
I made it this far.
(I made it this far)
(By the grace of God)
God's grace [2x]
(God's grace) [2x]
It was God's grace.
(God's grace)
His amazing grace.
(God's grace)
I made it this far.
(I made it this far)
(By the grace of God.)
Lord, I thank you for how you brought me,
How you brought me through the night.
Lord, you kept me and you never left me,
You stood by my side.
There were so many times when I came so close,
Old man death he tried to take me in,
So the reason I'm here,
It's not hard for me to see,
In fact, it so easy for me to explain.
It was God's grace [4x]
(God's grace) [4x]
Oh, I made it this far,
(I made it this far)
Yes I did.
(By the grace of God)
I remember the times when I strayed away,
Even though I knew the word,
Still I wouldn't obey,
But God's mercy and his grace stayed with me and brought me, brought me all the way.
God's grace [3x]
(God's grace) [3x]
His Amazing grace.
(God's grace)
I made it this far.
(I made it this far)
I made it.
By the grace of God.
Anybody want to know
(God's grace)
Just how I got here
(God's grace)
Anybody want to know
(God's grace)
How I'm still standing.
(God's grace)
Oh, I made it
(I made it this far)
Yes I made it.
(By the grace of God)
Some people said,
(God's grace)
They said I wouldn't make it
(God's grace)
Some people said
(God's grace)
I wouldn't be here today
(God's grace)
But Look at me,
Look at me
(I made it this far)
I made it - yes
By the the Grace of God.
When I sit down and look back,
(God's grace)
Down through the years,
(God's grace)
I have to shed
(God's grace)
So many tears.
(God's grace)
But I made it,
(I made it this far)
I made it this far,
By the Grace of God.
And I thank you,
(God's grace)
Thank you Jesus,
(God's grace)
Lord I thank you,
(God's grace)
Thank you right now Jesus,
(God's grace)
I made it,
(I made it this far)
I made it
By the grace of God.
Yes...
