I am nothing

I could travel over oceans, cross the deserts, climb the
Mountains
Just to share your story, bring you glory, and win souls for
You.
And i could sing like an angel, songs so humble and so thankful
Full of drama and emotion, so the world would know your truth.
I could give away my money and my clothes and my food
To restore those people who are poor, and lost, and
Down-and-out.
Oh, i could succeed at all these things,
Find favor with peasants and kings,
But if i do not love, i am nothing.

I could live a flawless life,
Never cheat or steal or lie,
And always speak so kindly, smile so warmly, and go about doing
Good.
I could dedicate myself to do what everyone else wants me to-
Listen to them, compliment them, say the things i should.
I could show up every sunday, lead the choir and bible study
And they all might come to know me as a leader and a friend.
Oh, i could achieve success on earth, but success cannot define
My worth
And all these actions, all these words, they will not matter in
The end-

Chorus:
Cause songs will fade to silence,
Stories, they will cease.
The dust will settle, covering all my selfless deeds.
So as i strive to serve you,
Won't you make it clear to me,
That if i do not love, i am nothing.

Bridge:
And if i cannot live my life loving my brother,
Then how can i love the one who lived his life for me?

Oh, sent to earth from heaven,
Humble servant, holy king,
Come to share a story, get no glory, and save my searching soul,
You knew that i'd deny you, crucify you, but nothing could stop
You from
Living for me, dying for me, so that i would know-

Chorus:
That songs will fade to silence,
Stories they will cease,
The dust will settle covering all my selfless deeds.
But your life here has made it clear enough for me to see
