"Jireh"
"Enough." Contentment comes with feeling you have enough. Particularly enough of God's love, given to us through Christ. It is enough to carry us through.
Two contemporary music groups, Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music decided to have a joint song writing session. In their first session, Naomi Raine, one of the writers of "Jireh" said Pastor Steve Furtick had been thinking about a line, "I will never be more loved than I am right now." Together with Chandler Moore and Chris Brown, the song flowed out, and "Jireh" was written.
I'll never be more loved than I am right now
Wasn't holding You up
So there's nothing I can do to let You down
It doesn't take a trophy to make You proud
I'll never be more loved than I am right now
The song is a song of declaration as well as a song of assurance.
I'm already loved
I'm already chosen
I know who I am
I know, I know what You've spoken
I'm already loved
More than I could ever fathom
And that is enough
Yes it is, it's enough, it's enough
Going through a storm but I won't go down
I hear Your voice
Carried in the rhythm of the wind to call me out
You would cross an ocean so I wouldn't drown
You've never been closer than You are right now.
Jehovah-jireh is Hebrew for "The Lord is our provider."
He dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor
How much more will He clothe you?
If He watched over every sparrow
How much more does He love you?
It is more than you ask, think, or imagine
According to His power working in us
It's more than enough
"Jireh" was one of the nominees for the 2022 GMA Dove Award "Worship Recorded Song of the Year."
Other words to the song are:
I don't wanna forget how I feel right now
On the mountaintop
I can see so clear what it is all about
So stay by my side when the sun goes down
Don't wanna forget how I feel right now
You are Jireh, You are enough
Jireh, You are enough
And I will be content in every circumstance
You are Jireh, You are enough.
