song lyric: enough

I wrote this song as a way to communicate trust in God--right when it seems that there's not enough of anything.


enough

what You give me is enough
i'm empty now but nothing is beyond You
You feed thousands easily
and You'll move mountains if i believe
You'll move mountains if i believe

how You made me is enough
there's no point in being a pretender
to play the role of someone else
it's enough just to be myself
You invite me to be myself

how You use me is enough
i don't need a greater reputation
i will harvest gratefully
the plot of land You gave to me
the plot of land You gave to me

my best is all You ask of me
i don't need more than You provide for me
i'll do the best i can
with what i have
and what i have
will be enough for me.

    Hey Greg - I saw you and the WCC Worship team perform this song during the Leadership Summit several years ago. This song just moved my heart profoundly and would steel my heart for the trials that would come toward me and my family in the coming years. We lost a baby, my husband lost his job, and we lost our home. Every time I think of something I 'need', the lyrics of this song play as a prayer in my mind.

    Thanks,
    Myrna Gold

    Hi Greg, Thank you for your song. I came across this song many years ago in a Willow Creek conference and it has helped me more than you can imagine. I would like to have your permission to use this song as the background music for a short video for my upcoming ordination service. It will mean a lot to me. Thanks again.

    Ray, thanks so much for your comment! I'm so glad to know that the song speaks to you, and I've got to say your comments spur me on to continue the daily practice of releasing anxious striving--letting Him provide moment by moment. Your timing turns out to be very good..I'm days away from launching a new website...I'll have songs available for purchase, and I'll make sure Enough is posted ASAP. Thanks again, brother.

    Hi, I love this song and would love to have the file or CD. Is there anywhere I can purchase it? Heard this song a long time ago and it really speaks to me. I also heard another one called what if I. Can you reply and let me know where I can find it? It really speaks to my heart.
