Nothing Without Jesus

(专辑： Christopher - 2021)

Where would I be without Jesus?
Where would I be without Jesus?
I'm nothing without Jesus
I'm nothing without Jesus

While I was Your enemy
You chose to be a friend to me
It don't make no sense to me
With every sin I committed, You could've ended me
It's amazing You've forgiven me, uh
For everything that I done
When I look at my past, He told me, "Boy, look forward and just run
Because I've overcome", You overcame
Always wonder why I've found all that beauty in the rain
Maybe it's because you done washed away my stains
Every single thought that had me feeling so ashamed
It's finished, every single blemish
Imagine Christ gasping on the cross in His final minutes
What a price He paid
All praise to the Lamb who was slain

Where would I be without Jesus? (You defeated the grave)
Where would I be without Jesus?
I'm nothing without Jesus
I'm nothing without Jesus
Where would I be without Jesus?
Where would I be without Jesus?
I'm nothing without Jesus
I'm nothing without Jesus

You know, when I talk about being delivered from my sin and being free from all of my shame
Um, that's not just for me
And Jesus died for you to experience the same thing
And He died so that you'd be free
So for anybody that just feels the shackles and chains
Jesus has paved the way for you to know God
For real

There's nothing that you could have done
To keep you from the One
Because of the only Son
Woah-oh-oh-oh
There's nothing that You could have done
To keep you from the One
Because of the only Son
Woah-oh-oh-oh

I was struggling with having these random thoughts, uh
Just dark thoughts, things that I'd never do
And I just watched Jesus literally free me from that

God constantly reminds me that I don't need to try to be something else
Because my authentic form is what makes me beautiful
He set me free
A lack of self worth
Being molested as a teenager
By a babysitter that was supposed to be there to love me and instead gave me a counterfeit
He set me free from that shame
Jesus has shown me that the things of this world truly do grow strangely dim
Once you choose to follow Him
I used to chase the world and want everything it had to offer
And now, I see that true joy comes from Jesus and not the world
Jesus has freed me from pornography addiction, drug addiction, anger, anxiety, depression
Yo, Jesus has freed me from weed, pornography, selfishness, pride
Ayy, what's good?
Jesus has freed me from arrogance, He freed me from pride
He freed me from self righteousness, hate
Jealousy, comparison and now I'm walking with Him
He just freed from having to work to be righteous
Like it's impossible
I don't have to be better, do better
Know more, understand more
Or be right in my own eyes or anything like that
I get to just be and rest and abide in Him
Because He did everything that I couldn't do
God has set me free from the constant addiction of pornography
God has set me free from the addiction of smoking and doing drugs
Everyday having to do the same thing to just be able to function and make it through
He set me free from having to put my hope in such a false counterfeit
Such as the world
Thinking that other people and systems will solve my problems
Right now, I feel like Jesus is teaching me to just pause and celebrate
A lot of times I don't celebrate victories, because once I reach a milestone or a goal
I fix my eyes towards the next goal and I begin striving
Something that God has saved me from is addiction
And I'm freer than ever now
So just glory to God
