The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir - More Than Enough Lyrics
Lyrics
Jehovah Jireh
You're my provider
You're more than enough for me
Jehovah Rapha
You're my healer
By Your stripes
I've been set free
Jehovah Shamma
You are with me
To supply all of my needs
You're more than enough
So much more than enough
More than enough for me
(Repeat 2 times)
Lead: ad-libs
Choir responds: More than enough

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on January 24, 2008, "More Than Enough" by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir stands as a powerful testament to unwavering faith, drawing directly from profound biblical truths. The song’s core message is an exuberant declaration of God’s sufficiency, rooted in the ancient Hebrew names for God that reveal His character and provision. "Jehovah Jireh," a name introduced by Abraham in Genesis 22:14 when God provided a ram for sacrifice in place of Isaac, signifies God as the Lord who provides. This foundational aspect of God’s character is echoed throughout scripture, from the manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16) to the promise of His abundant grace sustaining believers even in trials, as Paul states in 2 Corinthians 9:8, "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." The transition to "Jehovah Rapha," meaning the Lord who heals, found in Exodus 15:26 where God declares, "I am the Lord who heals you," highlights a divine intervention that goes beyond physical restoration. It speaks to the deep, spiritual healing and freedom found through Christ's sacrifice, referencing the Isaiah 53:5 prophecy fulfilled in Jesus: "by His wounds you are healed." This aspect of God's redemptive work is central to the Christian message, offering solace and wholeness to those who believe. Finally, "Jehovah Shammah," signifying the Lord is there, from Ezekiel 48:35, underscores the pervasive presence of God, assuring believers that they are never alone and that His presence is a source of constant supply for every need. This is beautifully mirrored in Philippians 4:19, where Paul assures believers, "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." The song’s structure, with its call-and-response between the lead vocal and the powerful Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, amplifies this message, creating an immersive experience of communal affirmation. The repeated, emphatic declaration "More than enough" isn't just a statement of fact; it’s a heartfelt embrace of God’s boundless love and His ability to meet every human need, far exceeding our limited capacity to comprehend or ask. It’s a spiritual anthem that encourages a deep reliance on divine faithfulness, reminding listeners that in Him, we have an inexhaustible source of provision, healing, and constant companionship.
