v.1
I knew a girl who read the Book.
She made a laundry list of things to do.
She had a thousand sins that she forsook.
She just kept doing what she didn’t want to… didn’t want to.

It’s not enough, not enough, not enough
To exert your will.
It’s not enough, not enough, not enough
To act biblical

It’s not enough, not enough, not enough
To work hard for God each day.
It’s not enough, not enough, not enough
To give all your things away
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

v.2
I knew a man who lived alone,
In an ivory tower way up high.
He had a tulip there that he had grown.
Without the son you know his flower died… flower died.

It’s not enough, not enough, not enough
To have good theology.
It’s not enough, not enough,
Just to pray down on your knees.

It’s not enough, not enough,
To stand up in church and sing.
It’s not enough, not enough,
To do any anything
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

v.3
I know a man who i had killed,
I nailed his living body to a tree.
The blood flowed out of him until it filled
The chasm between God and me… God and me.

And he’s enough, he’s enough, he’s enough
To take all my guilt away.
He’s enough, he’s enough, he’s enough
To keep me close to God each day.

He’s enough, he’s enough, he’s enough
To conquer death against the odds
He’s enough, he’s enough, he’s enough
He’s the Son of God he’s…
Je-sus, Je-e-esus…
