This song is something that I started writing on February First, Two Thousand Eight. I had only one word in my mind: Sufficient. God is sufficient. That was the only thing that mattered to Judi and I because it was the only thing we had. That word was all I had “written” for this song for several months. No melody, no progression, no other lyric, just “Sufficient”.

On the afternoon of May 13, I sat in my office after everyone had gone home. I was getting ready to leave and decided to pick up the guitar. The song came pouring out. In an instant it was written, but it needed one more thing. Another verse, an instrumental interlude maybe? Not wanting to force it I got up and headed toward home. About five minutes later cruising under Yosemite Street on I-225 the bridge came: It’s your love that rescued me.

I sang at the top of my lungs all the way home. I sang until my voice gave out. I sang to grasp freedom once again.

Jesus, You are my refuge, my fortress and strength.
Jesus, You are sufficient, Your Love’s so sufficient for me.
Jesus, every breath I take is in You.
Jesus, You are sufficient, Your Love’s so sufficient for me.

In my darkest hour Your Love will make a way.
In my darkest hour nothing can match the power of Your Love.

It’s Your Love that rescued me.
It’s Your Love that set me free.
It’s Your Love that made a way.
It’s Your Love I will Proclaim.
