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!
