Nothing Without You
Norman Bebo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
See, I have nothing
I have nothing without You
And take my voice and pour it out
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
I have nothing without You
And all my soul needs
Is all Your love
To cover me, so all the world will see
That I have nothing without You
Take my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing
I have nothing without You
And all my soul needs
Is all Your love
To cover me so all the world will see
That I have nothing
That I love You, yeah
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
And all the strength I can find
Take my time here on this earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing
I am nothing without You
The song "Nothing Without You" by Norman Bebo is a beautiful expression of gratitude and faith towards God. The opening lines set the tone of the song by acknowledging human limitations, and the need for divine intervention to strengthen one's ability to praise God. The plea for help in praising God is a common theme in many religious traditions, as it is believed that human beings are inherently flawed and unable to appreciate God's grace without divine help. The refrain "I have nothing, I have nothing without You" reaffirms the idea that one's spiritual well-being depends entirely on God's grace.
The next verse focuses on the power of music to express one's faith and convey a message of mercy. The lyrics suggest that the singer has experienced God's mercy firsthand, and is eager to share his or her gratitude with the world. The refrain is repeated again, underscoring the theme of human emptiness without God.
The third verse deals with the heart of the matter - the need for God's love to fill one's soul. The imagery of the all-covering love of God is particularly vivid, and it is suggested that this love should be evident to the world.
The fourth verse takes a more physical approach in the expression of devotion. The singer offers up his or her body as a "broken offering of love," a reference to the sacrificial offerings of animals in ancient religious traditions. The idea here is that the singer is willing to sacrifice everything, even his or her own physical being, for the sake of expressing love and gratitude towards God.
The fifth and final verse expresses the singer's desire to use his or her time on earth to glorify God. The implication is that one's entire life should be dedicated to this purpose, as without God, one is nothing. The refrain is repeated one last time, bringing the song full circle and reinforcing the idea that everything in life depends on God's grace.

L̲o̲r̲d̲ J̲e̲s̲u̲s̲' T̲h̲o̲u̲gh̲t̲s̲ on̲ th̲e r̲e̲l̲i̲gi̲o̲n̲ o̲f̲ P̲r̲i̲d̲i̲a̲n̲i̲t̲y (a̲l̲s̲o̲ c̲a̲l̲l̲e̲d̲ S̲e̲l̲f̲i̲s̲m̲)
2000 years ago, Jesus Allowed His Father Alone to Take the daily decisions and in all steps of His Earthly 33 years journey.
At all times, people are faithful to allow their God Alone to take their daily, ongoing and intimate personal decisions in their lives. That is why people of the Religion of P̲r̲i̲d̲i̲a̲n̲i̲t̲y (also called Selfism) make sure their God alone takes all their Daily decisions and their God is “t̲h̲e̲y” themselves. Their clothing is pride. Their adornment is “ I THINK, I AM DOING WELL,”.
Why do people of Selfism believe so much in their temporal seemingly powerful god? God says The Reason is they are totally self-sufficient in their god. Should we agree with God? By the way, do you know your own religion? Is that Relevant question?
Lord Jesus addressed this Very Topic as the first line of His first Recorded sermon and in Defense of The One True Holy Religion.
- Blessed are those who are far apart from Selfism and those who are far apart from pride, which tastes sweet
- Blessed are those who are far apart from self-sufficiency, their own knowledge,
- Blessed are those who are far apart from depending on their own thoughts, and those who are far apart from depending on other people's thoughts,
- Blessed are those who are like a 1 year old clinging to Dear Parent for all their needs
- Blessed are those whose cries are always near The Living God for Present tense Help and Present tense Guidance and Present Tense Protection. For theirs will be The Father of Light; Who will give them Residence for countless years to come.
So how much does the religion of selfism cost? E̲t̲e̲r̲n̲a̲l̲ L̲o̲s̲s̲ is the answer.
At this moment of time, how much appeal to its followers will selfism have ? It gives a vain mirage
which says 'Y̲O̲U̲ ̲A̲R̲E̲ ̲A̲C̲T̲U̲A̲L̲L̲Y̲ ̲D̲O̲I̲N̲G̲ ̲V̲E̲R̲Y̲ ̲W̲E̲L̲L̲'. So those in its hook are feeling secure in its grasp.
So What is The Name of The Religion of Jesus? If this is The Only Way to Paradise, should we not boast about It? Well, The Name of God's True Religion is GETTING INTO GOD'S HANDS. Psalms 131:2 Describes this reality.
How may That happen? Let Lord Jesus Himself Explain It in Matthew 11.
- Come to Me, all, you people of selfism religion, who carry their heavy labor and burdens to their gods daily,
- Who in torment of temporal delight, love to own and control their days and the time and tomorrow's details of small and big things in their life, and you say : I am ok, I have prospered, I also know Theology and I don't need anything else.
- I̲ w̲o̲u̲l̲d̲ l̲i̲k̲e̲ t̲o̲ m̲a̲k̲e̲ a̲ c̲o̲v̲e̲n̲a̲n̲t̲ w̲i̲t̲h̲ yo̲u̲. ARE YOU READY? If you take My Burden, I will take your burden on myself.
- In This Way, I will give you Real Rest. In This Covenant Call, My Burden is A Yoke I will place on your shoulder.
- In My Yoke, You have to Daily Learn from Me. Apart from John 15:5, This Cannot happen. If you get into My covenant, I will be Faithful to the end. You will have to run daily to Me and Wait to Learn from My Yoke.
- My Yoke is Gentleness. My Yoke is Lowliness in Heart, Attitudes and Thoughts. My Yoke is Easy. My Burden is Light. My Burden Will purify you.
- Your yoke is heavy and ready to crush you. Your yoke is puffed with rugged sharp edges; which will soon tear you apart.
- Your yoke is always filled with torment; which you daily try to put up with; since, you haven't yet hated yourself or the world.
- Your burdens are surely cruel to you but you are fooled by the enemy deceptions that your burdens are OKAY and normal.
- I am waiting for people from Adamite Religion (Religion of self) to come and make The Holy Luke 14:26 Covenant .
- In The Bible, I only Made Covenants based on The Holy Blood, That I provide and Ordain. It is no different today.
- If Anyone Qualifies to come into My Covenant, I will Soak them in The Eternal Covenant of The Victory in The Blood of Jesus, This Blood, when Sprinkled in Holiness by Me, Will Speak My Life on The Covenant. Only Then, will you be Mine.
- Those who come into This Covenant Will be Sprinkled by My Blood Daily. Apart from this, the child has no protection.
- Those who delight Me in this Covenant Will be Defended by My Blood against the cruel master of the religion of selfism, who will try to come and tempt this child to run to the enemy camp, even if it is for one day, for temporary benefits.
After someone comes to God's Covenant, they become Bond Slaves of Jesus thus, they are ready for the journey of Psalm 23. They have made an eternal divorce with the master of self. Thus, God provides for them The Blood of Jesus for Daily Cleansing and Daily Sprinkling. In Verse 25,26, Lord is saying that This Gift is only for the Little Children since they won't again and again hurt Father God ,with the religion of self.

One day every tongue will confess You are God;
One day every knee will bow;
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose You know.
