Nothing

I am nothing
Yet I am something to God
I am His if I allow
I am something He made
Special and specific
Meant to do something terrific
Yet without Him I'd fail.
Meant to coexist with
His power and love
And grace when I mess up
I am nothing but a sinner
And He knows my heart
Sometimes evil things flow
In every direction I go.
It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord!
Your Word is a truth sword
Cutting me to my core
But everytime I want more.
I want to be something to You.
But I need to purge this nothing
And fill it with Your truth.
Your light has shown
Over the darkest parts of me.
No longer can I hide
That which is clearly seen.
It shows that I am less than I claimed
But I am more than I was named
All those years ago
You know I traveleled down that road
And I'm trying to get back
But with each day there's an attack.
The guilt and shame, afraid to utter my name
Feeling worthless every time
Forgetting that Jesus you are mine
And I am Yours. I am justified to go forth
And be a witness to You my Savior
And you have shown me great favor.
So I know I am something
Yet I know I am nothing
Without you.
