Already All I need--God's sufficiency


God's totally comforting me with this song, so I'd like to share it. May it bless you like it has for me. This song is about finding sufficiency in Christ. It's very pretty. The lyrics are SOOO good.

And here's what the writer says about the song:

It was "suggested that I write a song about the sufficiency of Christ by saying it as plainly as, 'He’s already all we need'.  So many times we come to Jesus in worship and ask Him for things that He already IS and has already done… What a concept to come into worship knowing who we are approaching…the absolute fullness of God, pleased to dwell in this Jesus whom we worship.  He’s already broken the chains…already seated us with Him…already invited us ‘into the glorious’."

Asking where You are, Lord
Wondering where You’ve been. 
Is like standing in a hurricane, trying to find the wind. 
And hoping for Your mercy to meet me where I am. 

Is forgetting that Your thoughts for me, outnumber the sand. 
You filled the sun with morning light. 
You bid the moon to lead the night. 
You clothe the lilies bright and beautiful. 

You’re already all I need. 
Already everything that I could hope for. 
You’re already all I need. 
You’ve already set me free. 
Already making me. More like You. 
You’re already all I need. 
Jesus, You’re already all I need. 

Walking through this life without Your freedom in my heart.
Is like holding onto shackles that You have torn apart. 
So remind me of Your promises.
And all that You have done. 
In this world I will have trouble. 
But You have overcome. 
And every gift that I receive. 
You determine just for me. 
But nothing I desire compares with You. 

In Your fullness. You’re my all in all. 
In Your healing. I’m forever made whole. 
In Your freedom. Your love overflows.
 And carries me. You carry me.
