I am Nothing (lyrics)

(A song by Ginny Owens)
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
I could succeed in all these things, find favour 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 every one else wants me to
Listen to them, compliment them, say the things I should
 
I could how up every Sunday, lead the choir and bible study
They all might come to know me as a leader and friend
I could achieve success on earth, but success can not define my worth
And all these actions, all these words, do not matter in the end
 
Because 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
 
And if I cannot live my life loving my brother, then how can I love the one who gave his life for me?
 
Sent to earth from heaven, humble servant, holy king
Come to share your story, get no glory, and save my searching soul
You knew that I'd deny you, crucify you
But nothing could stop you living for me, dying for me so I would know
 
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
 I am Nothing (song)
