Enough for Me



What am I breathing for?
What is my heart beating for?
What are my veins bleeding for?

I search high, and I search low
Cause I just wanna know

What am I breathing for?
What is my heart beating for?
What are my veins bleeding for?

Why am I not satisfied?
Though I know You stretched Your arms wide
And for me You died
Yet, I’m still not satisfied
Though I know You reside
In me
And set me free
For all eternity
I’m still not satisfied
Even though I know
I died with You
Was made alive with You
And reside in You
Even though I know You abide in Me
For all eternity
I’m still not satisfied
And still my soul cries…


What am I breathing for?
What is my heart beating for?
What are my veins bleeding for?

What is my soul still needing for?
When I know You are the Door
To Eternal Life
And I’m Your beloved wife
Yet, my soul still strives
To feel fully alive
Even as Your chosen Bride
For whom You died
And rose to take as Your beloved wife
I came forth from Your bleeding side
Yet, my soul still cries

What am I breathing for?
What is my heart beating for?
What are my veins bleeding for?

Stop!  Look!  And listen!
Don’t get the Gospel twisted
Did you think
That by faith you’d blink
And struggle would be no more
All because you walked through eternity’s Door?
If you never hungered
And never wondered
What you’re breathing for
What your heart’s beating for
What your veins are bleeding for
You’d never seek My face
So, I could fill your empty space
And make you My dwelling place
Let Me tell you what you need
Is to become a receiver of seed
By becoming fertile soil
And a vessel of precious oil
Not so that you can toil
And strive with all your might
But so that you can reside
In Me, your resting place
Beholding My glorious face
So that you can learn to be
Exactly what you see
As you behold Me
So that you can learn to trust
And rid yourself of the lust
To know and control
Even the hunger of your own soul

Let Me tell you
What you’re breathing for
What your heart’s beating for
What your veins are bleeding for
Your purpose is to become
Wholly one
As a mature son
To be My habitation
That every nation
May hasten their feet
To feel My heartbeat
Through you
So, just be you
Let your lungs keep breathing
Let your heart keep beating
And your veins keep bleeding
Cause in each moment of life
I’m perfecting your sight
And displaying more light
Through you
As you just be you
Behold, I make all things new
Grace is My mission
But flesh keeps wishing
To take My place
And that’s why there’s empty space
But grace will enable you
To see My face

For I AM what you’re breathing for
I AM what your heart’s beating for
And I AM what your veins are bleeding for
Look no more
But to Me, the Door
Of Eternal Life
And the Giver of sight
To the blind
And the final sign
That you’ve entered rest
And are fully blessed
With no need to strive
To be fully alive

Cause I AM what you’re breathing for
I AM what your heart’s beating for
And I AM what your veins are bleeding for

You need to awaken
And to hasten
To the understanding
That though life can be demanding
My grace is enough
No matter how tough
The struggle you face
My grace is the Way
To enter the third day
Called resurrection
So, make this confession

Lord, YOU ARE what I’m breathing for
YOU ARE what my heart’s beating for
And YOU ARE what my veins are bleeding for
Your grace is enough for me
I receive Your Love for me
And declare that I can see
Myself standing in Victory
Because YOU ARE enough for me!
Yes!  YOU are ENOUGH for me!
