Christ is Enough

CHRIST IS ENOUGH

Christ is my reward
And all of my devotion
Now there's nothing in this world
That could ever satisfy

PRE-CHORUS
Through every trial
My soul will sing
No turning back
I've been set free

CHORUS
Christ is enough for me
Christ is enough for me
Everything I need is in You
Everything I need

VERSE
Christ my all in all
The joy of my salvation
And this hope will never fail
Heaven is our home

PRE-CHORUS
Through every storm
My soul will sing
Jesus is here
To God be the glory

BRIDGE
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back
No turning back

The cross before me
The world behind me
No turning back
No turning back

As this hymn of commitment is sung, think about what it really means to follow Jesus. When someone volunteered to follow Him, Jesus' response was “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head” (Luke 9:58 ESV). This seems almost brutal, but it is true. The author of this hymn was most likely a convert in India facing persecution and possibly death for this commitment. As expressed through the song, this Christian had taken to heart Jesus' warning: “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62 ESV).
