Nothing Without Christ

(album: Sheltering Tree - 2000)

I was like a blind man on a road that led nowhere
Just an empty-hearted beggar in desperate need of help
I was poor in spirit, but he was rich in love
I was down to nothing when he came to lift me up
Now I will never let myself forget all he has done
How he came and rescued me and where he brought me from

[Chorus:]
I am nothing without christ, he is everything to me
He's the reason that I live, he is my only need
I know I couldn't make it through
One day without jesus in my life
I am nothing, nothing without christ

There is nothing good in me that did not come from him
Nothing I could boast of that he did not give
From the moment I cried out to him to heal my troubled soul
He welcomed me with open arms, said all that's mine is yours

Now I will never let myself forget all he has done
How he came and rescued me and where he brought me from

[Chorus]

Like a wave without a seashore or a kingdom with no king
Without jesus in my life, I know I wouldn't be complete

[Chorus 2x]
