The Clark Family - Big Enough Lyrics
Lyrics
I've got a heart that's full of faith filled helplessness
There are mountains ahead that I can't move by myself
But I know when I'm weak, he's strong .
When I can barely breathe there's still a song
Even though it's hard right now, I'm not here on my own
So when it seems it can't be done, I know God is big enough
I can run the race I'm called to run, cause I know God is big enough
He'll finish everything he starts
He'll meet us right here were we are
I can feel faith rising up, I know God is big enough... oh yeah he's big enough .
On the days that the shadows of doubt make me feel small, I declare that I don't stand in my strength at all, oh no,
Cause I won't live a day you didn't plan,
Every single moment is on your hands
Even if the whole world shakes, your the rock on which I stand .
So when it seems it can't be done, I know God is big enough
I can run the race I'm called to run, cause I know God is big enough .
He'll finish everything thing He starts
He'll meet us right here where we are
I can feel faith rising up
I know God is big enough .
He's bigger then the fear that surrounds me
Bigger then the chains that have bound me
Bigger then the story my past can tell, oh
Bigger then the weight of tomorrow.
Bigger then the hurt and the sorrow
Bigger then the lies I've told myself .
So when it seems it can't be done
I know God is big enough
I can run the race I'm called to run
Cause I know God is big enough.
He'll finish everything thing he starts
He'll meet us right here where we are
I can feel faith rising up .
So when it seems it can't be done
I know God is big enough
I can run the race I'm called to run
Cause I know God is big enough.
He'll finish everything thing he starts
He'll meet us right here where we are
I can feel faith rising up
I know God is big enough .
I know God is big enough

Big Enough
Meaning & Inspiration
The Clark Family hit the nail on the head with "Big Enough," a track from their 2015 record My Mind's Made Up. It captures the grit of the Christian walk, moving past shallow optimism into the bedrock of biblical dependence. When the lyrics mention having a "heart that's full of faith filled helplessness," they strike a chord that matches the Apostle Paul’s admission in 2 Corinthians 12:9, where he learns that power is perfected precisely when we are at the end of our own rope. We love to pretend we have it all together, but this song flips the script, admitting that the mountains we face are far beyond our pay grade.
There is something deeply grounding about the way they anchor the song in the sovereignty of God. Claiming that "every single moment is on your hands" pulls directly from the truth in Psalm 31:15, which reminds us that our times are in His control. It is an antidote to the anxiety that plagues us. When the world feels like it is shaking, shifting our weight onto the Rock—as referenced in Matthew 7:24—is not just a nice thought; it is the only way to stay upright. The songwriters tap into the promise of Philippians 1:6 when they affirm, "He'll finish everything he starts," confirming that the work of salvation and sanctification belongs to Him, not our own frantic efforts.
The bridge really drives the point home by systematically dismantling our fears. Whether it is the weight of tomorrow or the baggage of our past, God looms larger. Isaiah 40 tells us that He measures the waters in the hollow of His hand and marks off the heavens with the span of His fingers, so surely He is more than capable of handling our personal chaos. We aren't called to run our own race on our own fuel; we are called to abide in the One who already won the victory. If your theology doesn't leave room for the fact that God is significantly greater than the mess you are currently staring at, you need to read your Bible again. He is not just big enough to save; He is big enough to sustain every single step you take until He calls you home.
