Holding Nothing Back” by Tim Hughes


I am chosen, I am free
I am living for eternity
Free now forever

You picked me up, turned me around
You set my feet on solid ground
Yours now forever

And nothing's gonna hold me back
Nothing's gonna hold me back
Nothing's gonna hold me back

My chains fell off
My heart was free
I'm alive to live for You
I'm alive to live for You
Amazing love, how can it be?
You gave everything for me
You give everything for me
Everything

You washed my sin and shame away
The slate is clean; a brand new day
Free now forever
Now boldly I approach Your throne
To claim this crown through Christ my own
Yours now forever

And nothing's gonna hold me back
Nothing's gonna hold me back
Nothing's gonna hold me back

My chains fell off
My heart was free
I'm alive to live for You
I'm alive to live for You
Amazing love, how can it be?
You gave everything for me
You give everything for me

I'm free to live
Free to give
Free to be
I'm free to love You
Free to live
Free to give
Free to be
I'm free to love You

My chains fell off
My heart was free
I'm alive to live for You
I'm alive to live for You
Amazing love, how can it be?
You gave everything for me
You give everything for me





I am amazed. I am amazed that God chooses to use me, to work through this weak earthen vessel. He is God. I am nothing. Believe me, lately, if nothing else, I am acutely aware of how much nothingness my life holds; without Christ, I truly have nothing.

Yet, God loves me. Yet, God desires to use me. Yet, God speaks to me, walks with me, leads me, blesses me. Who am I , Lord, that You would take notice of me? It is all because of the blood of Jesus. How utterly awe-inspiring…
