Nothing Without You

I first heard this song when our worship leader at our church sang it. He was going through a health problem, and this was a beautiful moment of worship for him and for the rest of us as we listened and then joined him. God brought him through that difficult time, and this song continues to remind me that without the Lord, I have no strength, no power, no love - I have nothing of lasting. But I do have all I need with Him.


Nothing Without You
by Bebo Norman

Take these hands and lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
For I have nothing,I have nothing without You

Take my voice and pour it out
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
For I have nothing,I have nothing without You

Chorus:
All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing without You

Take my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing,I have nothing without You

All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing
But I love You

With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my might
With all the strength that I can find

Take my time here on this earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing,
I am nothing without You
