Nothing

I was nothing
Now I have your love
I had nothing
Now I have your love

I did nothing
Now I bear your fruit
I had nothing
Gone are substitutes

Make this your home
Father, strengthen me
So I can do all things
Caring, but carefree

Do it all, Jesus
I want to do it all
Want to do it all

I believe I can do it all
You make all possible
You took nothing
Made me adoptable

Live by faith
Live off the son
Your love is life
Anointed One

Because you made yourself into nothing
I can do it all
Want to do it all
I was nothing
But now I do it all (through you)

Matt Antis

Matt Antis creates online as a freelance writer and novelist who formerly lived as a serial small-business entrepreneur. His life’s goal is to share knowledge, encourage, and challenge others through a coach-student relationship.

An unexpected deployment with the Army in 2009 halted his scholastic achievement, but! He learned the bulk of business in the proverbial trench elbow to elbow with a team of professionals who he is forever grateful for.

When he’s not being a husband, dad, shooting his bow or training parkour, you can find him teaching Sunday school, advising parkour gyms, writing for inkjotkingdom.com and his wife’s children’s book website, whitneyantis.com.
