I Am Nothing

I was listening to one of my Jeremy Camp CD's today, and the song I Am Nothing came on. For some reason today, it just hit me so hard. It's not the first time I've heard the song, and I've loved it every time I heard it, but this time I couldn't stop the tears from coming. Here are the lyrics (and of course, it's so much more beautiful when you can hear the music and his voice):

He seems always in this place,
Where the things I seem to take,
Are the things I wish would fade
I always purpose in my heart,
Well to do things the right way,
Then I realize I’m still clay
And this piece that’s being shaped,
Will be a beauty you create
[CHORUS]
I am nothing without Your love
I’m unworthy but Your death has been enough
I’m completed by Your touch,
But I feel like I’ve been given so much so I thank You,
I thank You
I wouldn’t even face,
All the troubles of the day,
If it wasn’t for Your grace
Sometimes I even wait,
To see if I’m awake,
Seems so good I can’t relate
And Your every word I crave,
And I’m grateful for every breath I take
[CHORUS]
When I’m feeling all my shame,
You won’t let it stay,
I sail away into Your love
I’m taking every day,
To give my life away,
It’s the only way I know
I am nothing without Your love
I’m unworthy but Your death has been enough
I’m completed by Your touch,
But I feel like I’ve been given so much
I am nothing
You are everything
So I thank you. I thank you
Lord I thank you
I thank you

  1. I like the part that says:
    And this piece that’s being shaped,
    Will be a beauty you create
    because sometimes I don't feel "beautiful", and it helps me remember what His kind of beauty is.
