AFRO GRACE | "NOT BY PERFORMANCE"

🎵 “NOT BY PERFORMANCE” is the second track from the all-English AFRO GRACE album "GRACE, NOT PERFORMANCE." This is a healing anthem for anyone burned out by religious pressure. A reminder that God’s love isn’t earned. His grace is not for sale. It’s not by what we do — it’s by what Christ already did. The AFRO GRACE project fuses Afro-R&B, lo-fi gospel trap, and soulful worship with biblically grounded lyrics that speak to the heart of South African youth — and anyone longing for freedom, healing, and truth. 💖 If you’d like to support AFRO GRACE and help us keep making this music, you can do so here: 👉 https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted... Thank you 😊🙏✝ LYRICS: [VERSE 1] I used to think You loved me more When I got it right, when I kept the score I prayed to impress, I worked to belong But I was exhausted all along [VERSE 2] I climbed the stage with a painted smile Said all the words, stayed there a while But deep in my soul, I longed to be free From trying to earn what was given to me [PRE-CHORUS] Grace didn’t come with conditions attached Not by my rhythm, not by my patch God didn’t wait for me to perform He loved me before I was born [CHORUS] Not by performance, not by show Not by the things I think You owe Not by the platform, not by fame Not by the songs that carry Your Name It’s by Your mercy, it’s by Your cross When I had nothing, You gave it all Now I can rest in Your warm embrace It’s not by performance — it’s all by grace [VERSE 3] I saw the lights and thought they meant You But You were found in the quiet truth In secret prayers and broken nights You whispered grace, not earned by might [VERSE 4] Now I lay down what I can't sustain No more pressure, no more shame You’re not impressed by my parade You see the soul You came to save [PRE-CHORUS] It’s not my deeds that make me clean It’s not the grind, it’s not the scene You don’t demand a flawless face You look at hearts — and pour out grace [CHORUS] Not by performance, not by show Not by the things I think You owe Not by the platform, not by fame Not by the songs that carry Your Name It’s by Your mercy, it’s by Your cross When I had nothing, You gave it all Now I can rest in Your warm embrace It’s not by performance — it’s all by grace [BRIDGE] You don’t want perfection Just my surrender Not my show, not my stage But a heart that remembers You already gave what I could never pay Your love doesn’t change when I lose my way… [FINAL CHORUS] Not by the pressure, not by the fear Not by the voices that echo in here Not by religion, not by the race But by the blood and unshakable grace Now I can breathe in Your warm embrace It’s not by performance — it’s still grace
