It's traditional at this point in the story to give thanks for each blessed event that happened during ancient Jewish history as if it alone would have been enough.  The song DAYENU, which means 'it would have been enough' reflects this graphically--

If God had just brought us out of Egypt, DAYENU

If God had parted the Red Sea without drowning the Egyptians, DAYENU

If God had given us the Sabbath only, DAYENU

If God have built us the temple only, DAYENU

The concept of DAYENU remains relevant today.  Because we have so much, it's difficult to sometimes to recognize the difference between "enough" (DAYENU) and more.  It's human instinct to want more--money, freedom, time off, electronic gadgets.  The Hagaddah teaches us that each thing we acquire should be celebrated as DAYENU--if more comes along, that's a gift.  

Now we drink the second cup of wine.
