In Him do I live, move, and have my being
In Him do I live, move, and have my being
In Him do I live, move, and have my being
In Him do I live, move, and have my being
'Cause I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
Lord, I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
Nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
In Him do I live, move, and have my being
In Him do I live, move, and have my being (just think about it)
In Him do I live, move, and have my being
In Him do I live, move, and have my being
And I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
Lord, I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
Said I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
Lord, I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
So breathe through me and live in me
Let Your glory reign in me
Let me say breathe through me
And live in me (live in me)
Let Your glory reign in me (let Your glory reign in me)
Oh, breathe through me
And live in me (live in me), come on, if you mean it
Say let Your glory reign (let Your glory reign)
In me (in me), one more time
Say breathe through me
Say live in me (live in me)
And let Your glory reign (let your glory reign)
In me (in me), c'mon help me say it, say it
Said I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
Said I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
Said I'm struggling on my own and ain't nothing wrong (I'm nothing without You)
Said I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You), oh
Don't leave me without your love (I'm nothing without You)
I can't even breathe without You (I'm nothing without You)
I can't exist without you, Jesus (I'm nothing without You)
Said I'm nothing without You (I'm nothing without You)
Said I'm nothing, I'm nothing (I'm nothing without You)
Struggling on my own (I'm nothing without You)
I've failed so many times (I'm nothing without You)
I'm nothing without You
No, nothing without You
Nothing without You
Nothing without You
Nothing without You
Nothing without You
I'm nothing but a ship without a sailor
Moving aimlessly, tossed through and fro
I'm nothing without You
So breathe through me
About This Song
"Nothing Without You" is a deeply contemplative worship song that explores the fundamental Christian doctrine of humanity's complete dependence on God for existence itself. Built around the biblical verse from Acts 17:28, the song moves beyond typical praise themes to examine the philosophical reality that human life, breath, and purpose are entirely sustained by divine presence. Nelson's repetitive, meditative approach creates an almost hypnotic spiritual experience, with the phrase "I'm nothing without You" serving not as self-deprecation but as a profound acknowledgment of spiritual reality. The production features a minimalist, atmospheric soundscape that allows space for reflection, with subtle instrumentation that builds gradually to support the weight of the theological concept being explored. The song's power lies in its vulnerability-stripping away religious pretense to confront the raw truth of human frailty and divine dependence. Nelson's vocal delivery is intimate and conversational, as if he's working through this realization in real-time rather than simply declaring it. The track resonated with listeners because it articulated a fundamental spiritual truth that many feel but struggle to express: that authentic faith requires acknowledging our complete reliance on God not just for salvation, but for the very essence of our being and every breath we take.
