lyrics
Nothing, I Am
Humble spirit come,
Tear down what I’ve done.
I am nothing
You created all I see,
And still you created me.
I am nothing
And apart from you, I am nothing.
Lord, empty me.
Slay my selfish thoughts,
You were on your knees
Before you died you washed their feet
King without a crown
God who walked the earth
Serving those who cursed your name
You gave it all, to take the blame.
Humble spirit come,
Tear down what I’ve done.
I am nothing
You created all I see,
And still you created me.
I am nothing
And apart from you, I am nothing.
Lord, empty me.
Slay my selfish thoughts,
You were on your knees
Before you died you washed their feet
King without a crown
God who walked the earth
Serving those who cursed your name
You gave it all, to take the blame.
