Nothing Without You
Embracing Emptiness: A Song of Surrender and Love
Lyrics
Take these hands
Expressing a gesture of offering or surrender.
And lift them up
Requesting help to raise hands in praise due to personal weakness.
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
Acknowledging insufficient strength to adequately praise.
See, I have nothing
Affirming a state of having nothing on one's own.
I have nothing without You
Emphasizing dependence on a higher power, likely referring to God.
And take my voice and pour it out
Offering one's voice to express gratitude for discovered mercy.
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
Desiring to sing songs that reflect the mercy experienced.
For I have nothing
Reiterating a personal state of having nothing.
I have nothing without You
Reaffirming dependency on a higher power.
And all my soul needs
Expressing a soul's need for love.
Is all Your love
Stating that all the soul requires is the love being referred to.
To cover me, so all the world will see
Desiring love to cover and be evident to the world.
That I have nothing without You
Affirming dependency on the mentioned love.
Take my body and build it up
Offering one's body to be built up, possibly through sacrifice.
May it be broken as an offering of love
Expressing a willingness for the body to be broken as an act of love.
For I have nothing
Reiterating a state of personal nothingness.
I have nothing without You
Reaffirming dependence on a higher power.
And all my soul needs
Reiterating the soul's need for the mentioned love.
Is all Your love
Emphasizing that love is essential for soul coverage.
To cover me so all the world will see
Desiring the love to be evident to the world.
That I have nothing
Affirming personal nothingness and love dependency.
That I love You, yeah
Expressing love for the higher power, possibly God.
With all my heart
Declaring love with all aspects of one's being.
With all my soul
Repeating the declaration of love with emphasis on the soul.
With all my mind
Continuing the declaration of love with emphasis on the mind.
And all the strength I can find
Including all available strength in the expression of love.
Take my time here on this earth
Offering one's time on Earth to bring glory to the higher power.
And let it glorify all that You are worth
Desiring one's time to glorify the worthiness of the higher power.
For I am nothing
Acknowledging personal nothingness without the higher power.
I am nothing without You
Reiterating dependence and insufficiency without the higher power.
