Pat Barrett
Nothing / Something (Live)
[Verse 1: Pat Barrett, Dante Bowe]
I could write a melody
That all of Heaven's choir sings
But if I don't have love then it means nothing
And I can spit out some holy word
Something that you've never heard
But if I don't have love it means nothing
[Chorus: Pat Barrett, Dante Bowe]
If I can't love my neighbor like I love myself
If I won't move when my brother cries out for help
If I'm too proud to forgive before the sun goes down
Then this life that I've been living, what does it mean now?
At best, it all means nothing
Without love, it all means nothing
[Verse 2: Pat Barrett & Dante Bowe]
I can dine with kings and queens
My name go down in history
But if I don't have love, it means nothing
So take the old and make me new
Show me how to love like You
'Cause if I don't have love, it means nothing
[Chorus: Dante Bowe, Pat Barrett, Dante Bowe & Pat Barrett]
If I can't love my neighbor like I love myself (Yeah), oh
If I won't move when my brother cries out for help (Yeah)
If I'm too proud to forgive before the sun goes down
Then this life that I've been living, what does it mean now?
At best it all means nothing (Oh, God)
Without love, it all means nothing (Oh)
At best it all means nothing (Jesus)
Without love, it all means nothing (Oh, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 3: Pat Barrett, Dante Bowe, Pat Barrett & Dante Bowe]
I don't want to sound like a crashing cymbal (Yeah)
No, I don't want to be some empty noise
I'm down on my knees, Lord, I surrender
Jesus, help me to love with a love like Yours (Jesus, Jesus, oh)
I don't want to sound like a crashing cymbal, oh no (Oh, no, no, no)
I don't want to be some empty noise (Empty noise)
Oh, I'm down on my knees, Lord, I surrender (Lord, I surrender)
Oh, help me to love with a love like Yours (With a love like Yours)
And then it'll all mean something (That's what I want)
I want it to all mean something (Jesus)
And then it'll all mean something (Oh, God)
I want it to all mean something
[Chorus: Dante Bowe]
I want to love my neighbor like I love myself
And I want to move when my brother cries out for help
Don't want to be too proud to forgive before the sun goes down
Then this life that I've been living, what would it mean now?
At best it will all mean something
With love, it all means something, yeah
I hope it all means something
With love, it will all mean something, yeah
