Well I heard that you've been talking about me
and really, I don't mind
I know you try to block my progress
a lot of the time

Well the mean things you said don't make me feel bad
'cause I can't miss a friend that I've never had
(I've got) I've got Jesus and that's enough (that's enough) that's enough

When I'm sick (He's there)
in trouble (He's there)
when I call Him, He will answer my prayer (answer my prayer)
when I'm burdened (He's there)
with a load (He's there)
that's when Jesus is a comforter (to my soul)

Well you may scorn me and turn your back on me
God's got His arms wrapped all around me
(I've got) I've got Jesus and that's enough (that's enough)
that's enough

You know there's been a lot of times when I didn't have a dime
I didn't cry to nobody but my Lord
He heard my plea and came to see about me
'cause He's one thing I can afford

So if you push me down, He'll pick me up
and He'll stick by me when the going gets tough
(I've got) I've got Jesus and that's enough (that's enough)
that's enough

Well He's a great emancipator and my heart's regulator
(Jesus is) yes He is
He'll make my way brighter and my burdens lighter
yes He will (Jesus will)

Well you may scorn me and turn your back on me
God's got His arms wrapped all around me
and He fights down the devil till He makes him give up
and that's enough (that's enough)
that's enough

When I'm sick (He's there)
in trouble (He's there)
when I call Him, He will answer my prayer (answer my prayer)
when I'm burdened (He's there)
with a load (He's there)
that's when Jesus is a comforter (to my soul)

Well you may scorn me and turn your back on me
God's got His arms wrapped all around me
(I've got) I've got Jesus and that's enough (that's enough)
that's enough
