Music Reviews
One of my favorite Christian performers is Bebo Norman. I believe he has quite possibly outdone himself with this beautifully anointed song.
I was driving yesterday evening, going to pick up my teenage son, Daniel, whom I had not seen in nearly three weeks. It suddenly dawned on me that, though I have absolutely nothing (material-wise) as compared to just 5 1/2 years ago, I live a richer, more full life than I ever have... EVER!
My soul is satisfied. My heart is satisfied. My spirit is satisfied. My joy is complete. And it's all because the Lord Jesus put that wondrous staff around my neck, tapped me a few times with that merciful rod, and put me back in line.
Bebo's voice broke through my wall of thoughts and, as I listened to the words, I found myself telling the Lord how grateful I am for His mercy. But before the song was halfway over, I had to pull my car over on the shoulder. It isn't safe to drive when you can scarcely see through your tears.

Bebo Norman - Nothing Without You
From the album Try
Take these hands and lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You
Take my voice and pour it out
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You
Chorus:
All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing without You
Take my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You
All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
But I love You
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
And all the strength I can find
All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
I have nothing
Take my time here on earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing, I am nothing, I am nothing without You

I worked at a temp job with a guy who asked me why women like to cry at sad movies. I just told him "It's fun." It's great to feel, isn't it?
Hollywood needs to hear this. In a meterialistic society in which we live, It's glad to be remineded that sometimes less is more if we can see Christ Jesus clearer.In Fact, I'll take nothing, If I can Have Jesus Christ!!
