[Verse 1]
I tried to stand on my own strength
Built my life on fragile ground
I chased the things that fade away
Thought I had it figured out
But every win felt hollow
Every step still felt unsure
I had the world within my reach
Still my heart was starving, Lord
I filled the silence with distractions
Kept my hands too busy to pray
But peace was never in my plans
And joy kept slipping away
Then You met me in the quiet
When I had nothing left to prove
And I finally saw the truth
I am nothing without You
[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath I’m breathing
Every beat inside my chest
Is borrowed grace and mercy
I don’t deserve but still possess
[Chorus]
I’m nothing without You
I don’t want to be
I can gain the whole world
And still be weak
If Your presence leaves me
I’ve already lost
You’re the reason I’m standing
You’re the air that I’ve got
I don’t need the spotlight
I don’t need control
If I have You with me
I’m already whole
I’m nothing without You
Nothing without You
[Verse 2]
I tried to carry every burden
Like I was built to hold the weight
Wore my pride like armor
But it only led to breaks
I called it independence
But it was fear in disguise
I didn’t want to trust You
If it meant letting go inside
But You don’t ask me to be perfect
You don’t ask me to be strong
You just ask me to lean on You
When everything feels wrong
You don’t promise easy answers
You promise You’ll stay close
And suddenly that’s all I need
More than anything I chose
[Pre-Chorus]
If I lose everything
But still have You
I’ve lost nothing at all
I’ve found the truth
[Chorus]
I’m nothing without You
I don’t want to be
I can build my own kingdom
Watch it crumble beneath
If Your presence isn’t with me
Every step is a cost
You’re the light in the dark
When I think I’m lost
I don’t need the applause
I don’t need control
If Your Spirit is with me
I’m already whole
I’m nothing without You
Nothing without You
[Bridge]
Strip away the titles
Strip away the plans
Strip away the versions
Of who I pretend I am
Take my need for answers
Take my fear of loss
All I really need
Is You, my God
If You go before me
I’ll walk through the fire
If You stay beside me
I’ll never require
Anything this world
Keeps telling me I need
Your presence is the promise
That’s enough for me
[Bridge – Build]
I don’t want blessings
Without Your hand
I don’t want purpose
Without Your plan
I don’t want movement
If You’re not near
I don’t want confidence
Without You here
[Final Chorus]
I’m nothing without You
And that’s okay
Because You’re everything
I couldn’t be
You’re my strength when I’m empty
My peace when I’m lost
My beginning and ending
No matter the cost
I don’t need tomorrow
If You’re not there
But if You walk with me
I’m free anywhere
I’m nothing without You
Nothing without You
[Outro]
So I lay it all down
Every fear, every truth
I don’t need who I was
I just need You
