Lyrics
VERSE
Christ is my reward
And all of my devotion
Now there's nothing in this world
That could ever satisfy
PRE-CHORUS
Through every trial
My soul will sing
No turning back
I've been set free
CHORUS
Christ is enough for me
Christ is enough for me
Everything I need is in You
Everything I need
VERSE
Christ my all in all
The joy of my salvation
And this hope will never fail
Heaven is our home
PRE-CHORUS
Through every storm
My soul will sing
Jesus is here
To God be the glory
BRIDGE
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back
No turning back
The cross before me
The world behind me
No turning back
No turning back

Christ Is Enough - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
Hillsong Worship’s “Christ is Enough,” released as part of the album *Glorious Ruins* in 2015, stands as a profound declaration of faith, rooted deeply in the unshakeable sufficiency of Jesus Christ. The song’s central message, as its title plainly states, is a robust affirmation that Christ alone is all that we need, whether in times of abundance or scarcity, joy or sorrow. This isn't merely a casual observation; it's a robust theological assertion that echoes through Scripture, painting a picture of a God who is not just *enough*, but *more than enough*. The inspiration for such a declaration can be found throughout the New Testament, where the Apostle Paul repeatedly emphasizes Christ’s all-encompassing power and provision. Think of Philippians 4:13, “I can do all this through him who gives me strength,” or Colossians 1:19-20, which states that "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross." This foundational truth forms the bedrock of “Christ is Enough,” underscoring that our security, our worth, and our hope are found not in fleeting circumstances or human effort, but in the eternal, unchanging nature of Christ.
The lyrical landscape of the song systematically unpacks this singular truth, moving from an acknowledgment of personal inadequacy to the triumphant realization of Christ’s completeness. It speaks to a human tendency to seek fulfillment in a myriad of places – possessions, achievements, relationships – only to find them ultimately unsatisfying. Scripture, too, warns against placing our ultimate trust in temporal things. Proverbs 11:28 cautions, "Whoever trusts in riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf." Conversely, the song points to the overwhelming abundance found in Christ, a theme that resonates powerfully with passages like Ephesians 3:20, where Paul prays that God would act “according to the power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” This isn't to suggest that life's challenges vanish, but rather that in the midst of them, Christ’s presence and power are sufficient to navigate them. The song’s unwavering gaze towards Christ as the ultimate source of strength and peace directly reflects the teaching of Jesus Himself in John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” “Christ is Enough” is, in essence, a congregational prayer and a personal creed, a reminder that no matter what life throws our way, the person and work of Jesus Christ provide everything we could ever possibly need for life and godliness, as stated in 2 Peter 1:3. It’s a call to rest in His finished work and to find our deepest satisfaction in Him, who is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the fullness of all God’s promises.
