Enough

No word from the Lord will ever fail.
All his promises will come true.
His name can be fully relied upon -
we can ask and expect that he'll move.
For Israel, it was deliverance.
For Elizabeth, it was a son.
For Rahab, it was protection
and Daniel, an escape from lions.
For David, it was forgiveness -
restoring the joy of salvation.
For Abraham, it was fatherhood
of nation upon manifold nation.
For Moses, it was an answer.
For the blind man, it was his sight.
For a world of weary darkness,
it's an everlasting light.
For God's children, the promise is Jesus -
the vine in which we abide.
An all-sufficient savior
whose death completely satisfied.
That promise is sufficient -
it's all I'll ever need.
I can sing a song like Mary
for his promises unto me.
That's not the promise of a child,
a family, or even a spouse.
It's not a promise of a white picket fence
surrounding a wooden-framed house.
It's not a promise of a high-paying job
or a garage packed-full of new stuff.
Instead, it's a promise that Jesus will come
and for me,
that will be enough.
