I Am Nothing

I could travel over oceans Cross the deserts, climb the mountains Just to share Your story Bring You glory and win souls for You And I could sing like an angel Songs so humble and so thankful Full of drama and emotion So the world would know Your truth I could give away my money And my clothes and my food To restore those people who are poor And lost and down and out Oh, I could succeed at all these things Find favor with peasants and kings But if I do not love, I am nothing I could live a flawless life Never cheat or steal or lie And always speak so kindly Smile so warmly and go about doing good I could dedicate myself to do What everyone else wants me to Listen to them, compliment them Say the things I should I could show up every Sunday Lead the choir and Bible Study And they all might come to know me As a leader and a friend Oh, I could achieve success on earth But success cannot define my worth And all these actions, all these words They will not matter in the end 'Cause songs will fade to silence Stories, they will cease The dust will settle Covering all my selfless deeds So as I strive to serve You Won't You make it clear to me? That if I do not love, I am nothing And if I cannot live my life Loving my brother Then how can I love the One Who lived His life for me? Oh, sent to earth from Heaven Humble Servant, Holy King Come to share a story, get no glory And save my searching soul You knew that I'd deny You, crucify You But nothing could stop You From living for me, dying for me So that I would know That songs will fade to silence Stories they will cease The dust will settle Covering all my selfless deeds But Your life here has made it Clear enough for me to see That if I do not love, I am nothing
