The Story Behind Always Enough

The SHBC choir and orchestra will be leading out in worship on this song on Sunday.  We will also be  singing it as a part of the upcoming Freedom Celebration at the Jenks Riverwalk on June 30th.
This song was written by Casting Crowns.  Lead singer Mark Hall explains how the song was written. "Always Enough" has God's fingerprints all over it. Hall remembers, "Several months ago, we lost a soldier in Afghanistan who was part of our church. His son is in our middle school ministry, and it really rocked us. You know it's going on, but then it happens close to you, and it opens your eyes to the reality. Casting Crowns was on the road and couldn't be home for the funeral. The song really came together that day. When life is hard and tragedy comes, you discover how real Jesus is to you. Your friends and your church try to help, but at that moment, Jesus can't be Plan B. He's got to be it; He's got to be enough. When things that are constants in our lives are stripped away, that's when we have to know He's 'Always Enough.'"
