Taken from Julie de Azevedo Home Track 6
Overwhelmed and underpaid
Morning comes too soon
Running late and on my plate
A million things to doGot a baby cryin’
Another trying to find the other shoe
When I open my eyes
The dam will break
Their need will flood my roomYou made wine from water
And raised up Jairus’ daughter
From her bed
From her bed
Filled the empty fishing nets
And with some loaves and fishes fed
A hungry crowd
A hungry crowd
Make enough of me to go aroundMy mother’s sick
And I’m late to pick up kids at school
I need to clean
Can’t fit in my jeans
The fidge gives no comfort foodYou made wine from water
Raised up Jairus’ daughter from her bed
From the dead
Filled the empty fishing nets
And with some loaves and fishes
Fed a hungry crowd
I hunger now
Make enough of me to go aroundMultiply and magnify
This tiny little life of mine
Enlarge me
And expand this heart
And fill it with divineMy heart is cold
Nothing grows
But thistles and some thorns
They choke the light
And shrink the vine
I need to be rebornYou made wine from water
And told a scarlet daughter
Sin no more
Sin no more
Surrendered to the garden
Through thorns and nails you pardoned
The angry crown
The angry crowd
Make enough of me to go around
Make enough of me to go around
A few years ago, I found myself very pregnant with our 3rd child. My handsome hubby was trying to finish up his first graduate degree and also was teaching early morning seminary. To say the least, I was feeling the weight of our little family’s world upon my shoulders and wondering how I was going to do all that was required of me (I’m sure you’ve felt the same). My good friend (also very pregnant with her 2nd) and I needed to take some time for ourselves so our good hubbies sent us off to a Time Out For Women conference. This is where I first heard Julie sing “Make Enough of Me”. So many times I caught myself thinking, “She wrote that just for me!” or “How did she know?” It spoke right to my heart!
Most importantly I learned that my Father in Heaven loved me because she didn’t know! But He did! Through this song, he reminded me that He loved me and He knew what I was going through and that I could make it through! With His help and His guidance I would, and still do, make it through. Looking back, He has “enlarged me and expanded my heart”. How grateful I am His love!
