Yesterday I shared a free “I Am Enough” computer and phone wallpaper, and earlier Matt and I realized he wrote a song, “Am I Enough” on his first album when he was 19 that asks the raw question, “God, am I really enough”? When life is out of control it’s easy to question if I’m enough. Does God really delight in me while in my mess? He says he does, but so many days it’s hard to believe it.
Here’s the song.

When my faith is weak, are you really waiting there?
It’s just so hard to believe you would even care for me.
So unimaginable, but so beautiful
To find that kind of love
It makes me wonder could I ever be enough?
Am I enough to sing your song?
Sometimes I wonder if I belong
Am I wasting your time? Have I fallen short?
I’ve done so many things I don’t think you could ignore.
I’ve heard that you care, but it doesn’t seem fair.
Am I enough?
When life is out control, and you’re calling my name
I wonder if I’ll be strong? Or even if I belong?
I must sound crazy, sorry, but I’m just feelin.
Just give me some peace of mind,
And give me the strength I need to open my eyes.
Am I enough to sing your song?
Sometimes I wonder if I belong.
Am I wasting your time? Have I fallen short?
I’ve done so many things I don’t think you could ignore.
I’ve heard that you care, but it doesn’t seem fair.
Am I enough?
I’ve been trying to fight through it all, but I need you to help me be strong.
OMG I just realized Matt wrote Strength. You have no idea how much I live on that song since I heard him sing it at Grace years ago. I have it on every playlist. I always wondered if he wrote that song. Sweet reminders from God. Your post sure got me thinking of what I need to find in my life. Thank you.
Bonnie, he did! I shared your encouragement with Matt. Thank you for sharing with us. It means so much to hear those kinds of things! xo
