About the Song
Some songs don’t need grand arrangements or dramatic delivery—they just need to tell the truth. “Now I Have Everything”, as performed by Jimmy Swaggart, is one of those songs. Simple, sincere, and filled with quiet gratitude, it gently reminds us that when we have Jesus, we truly lack nothing.
The message is plain, but powerful: we may not have riches, status, or the things the world counts as success, but if we have Christ, we have everything that truly matters. Swaggart sings this testimony not with flair, but with conviction. His voice, seasoned by years of ministry and personal redemption, carries the weight of someone who knows exactly what those words mean.
“I had nothing but heartaches and trouble / I was seeking for fortune and fame…” — so begins the song, and in those few lines, it touches on a journey many believers can relate to: chasing the world, only to find peace in the arms of Jesus. As the song moves into its gentle chorus—“Now I have everything, not a thing did I bring…”—you can feel the heart of someone who’s laid it all down and found joy in surrender.
The soft piano, the reverent tempo, and Swaggart’s emotional sincerity make this more than just a gospel song—it becomes a personal altar. A space to reflect. A chance to pause and remember that true wealth isn’t found in what we own, but in who owns our heart.
For those who have walked through trials, lost much, or lived long enough to see what truly endures, “Now I Have Everything” is more than comforting—it’s affirming. It reminds us that the Gospel isn’t complicated. It’s this simple: without Him, we have nothing; with Him, we have it all.
And as Jimmy Swaggart gently lifts this song toward Heaven, it becomes a prayer of thanks—not for what we’ve gained in this world, but for what we’ve been given by grace.
