When Theres Nothing Else

Verse 1 
Whisperings in the dark, be my light and meet me where you are
You said be not afraid, I kneel before you, with casted burdens laid
In a dry and thirsty land, come unto you, be guided by your hand 
With a parchment of the field, I find a well, the sources spring revealed

Chorus 
When there’s nothing else, nothing else, to give you but myself 
In place of apparent wealth, you are my foundation, you’re my light and my health 
For you are my strength and you are my shield, without you, there’s no shining light in me
For you are my strength and you are my shield, without you, there’s no shining light in me

Verse 2
On you I shall depend, through the forceful trials, our father will defend 
No greater sacrifice, you thought of me, you truly paid the price 
On such a temporal plane, this journey through, yet all will pass away
Of times that have begun, you oversee, the victory is won

Chorus 

Bridge 
You are my crown of gold, there’s no greater fill, replenishing my soul 
No other fills the void, no one can bestow, may my cup overflow

Chorus 

Ending 
When there’s nothing else, nothing else, to give you but myself 
When there’s nothing else, nothing else, to give you but myself
