Sufficiency

by Justin Lawrence

Verse 1

The manna fell like rain, each day it came againPeople wanted more, hoping they could storeBut God said, "Let the lesson begin"Call it sufficiency, learn to rely on MeShare the stuff you've found - enough to go aroundLive altruistically

Chorus

Enough is enoughwe don't need to storeMore is not better, more is just more

Verse 2

Skip to the present day - real life MonopolyBut what have we ignored while want just wants some more?Where is our harmony?Avoid the wilderness if we coexistShow me a way to share, reach to the least out therePervasive happiness

Chorus2

Enough is enough, we don't need to hoardMore is not better, more is just more

Bridge

There's a way that You have madeWhere I'm not a slave who cumulatesShow me how it all fits inI'm ready to beginI will not be one who's greedyNot my wants, but needs, please teach meHow Your plan includes more than just me!
