Without you I am nothing, a nobody
A mere breath in an eternity of life'¦
I will soon wither as my body slowly dies,
Breath will become shallowed
And soon this shell will become entombed

Every step I've taken in life,
Has seemed to have been away from You
Yet in every step I've taken,
You've been there just the same, loving me,
Walking beside me and holding me in times of need

Your presence I cannot escape, though tried I have
And every time You push, so do I,
Yet I push against, and I fail You'¦
I can't breathe, I can't see, yet in the hope You give,
I am eternally Yours and forever spoken for

In my life, I've gotten nowhere fast
Quickly destroying my life, repeating past failures
And every tear I now shed, I shed for You'¦
For I am undeserving, yet You chose me
Even when I spat upon your face

What love is this? That You should care enough
To lay down your life for me? I'm nothing,
You are everything'¦what was, what is, and what will be,
I beat you, flogged you, and drove the nails'¦
Who am I? A mere murderer, undeserving of love

But You are my Father, the one who holds me up
Whenever I fall. He who holds the stars in place,
He who scarred himself for me'¦
I am Yours now, I devote myself to you
For as You gave all for me, so I give my all to You
