It is fitting that this is my 150th post here on Cooperland. And it is fitting that it is devoted to the one person to whom I love the most. Sure, I love Bridgett. She is my wife and I give her my life as according to Ephesians 5:25-33. But the person I love the most is MY God, and his son Jesus.
To sum up my passion for God, let me quote Bebo Norman’s song Nothing Without You.
Take these hands and lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
See I have nothing, I have nothing without YouTake my voice and pour it out
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
For I have nothing, I have nothing without YouAll my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing without YouTake my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing, I have nothing without YouAll my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing
But I love YouWith all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
With all the strength that I can findTake my time here on this earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing,
I am nothing without You
I almost began to cry listening to this song. It’s so beautiful. But reading the lyrics doesn’t give the song justice. Listen to the song.
Reminds me of John 3:30, “He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.”
I love you, Lord, with everything within me.
