Nothing Else Matters
Israel & New Breed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many pressures in life
So many reasons to throw in the towel
When I feel like I'm losing this fight
Consolation from Heaven comes clearly to me
To remind me, to remind me

Nothing else matters than seeing You, Jesus
Seeking the Master, the one who reigns over my life

Nothing else matters than seeing You, Jesus
Just to sit at Your feet, hear Your voice clearly speak
Lifts me out of defeat, for in You I'm complete
Reminds me nothing else, nothing else matters

You've got so many rivers to cross
So many mountains discouraging you
Just don't focus on yesterday's loss, no
Consolation from Heaven comes clearly to you
To remind you, to remind you

Nothing else than seeing You, Jesus
Seeking the Master, you're the one who reigns over my life
Nothing else matters than seeing You, Jesus
Just to sit at Your feet, hear Your voice clearly speak
Lifts me out of defeat, for in You I'm complete
Just remind me that nothing else, nothing else matters

Lord, I'm broken, before I need to receive
A fresh touch from Heaven and you'll not leave
'Til You touch me, oh Lord I pray
I need You every day with all of my heart I believe, I believe
That You're all I'll ever need, oh yes you are
You're all I'll ever need, you're all I'll ever need, yeah

Nothing else matters than seeing You, Jesus
Seeking the Master, seeking you right now
You're the one who reigns over my life
Nothing else matters than seeing You, Jesus
Just to sit at Your feet, hear Your voice clearly speak
Lifts me out of defeat, for in You I'm complete

Just to sit at Your feet, hear Your voice clearly speak
Lifts me out of defeat, for in You I'm complete
Just to sit, hear Your voice clearly speak

Oh yeah, say it again, say it again, say it again
Just remind me that nothing else, nothing else matters
