Rich Mullins Nothing In This World
Rich Mullins Colossians 1:3-6, Acts 8:17-24 Is there something in your eye that looks like anger Is it loneliness that made you be that hard Still the lights from that far shore Seem to linger in the blood beneath those scars And it's not easy to remember in the city That there's Someone who's still lighting the stars And that there's Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven No love that can touch you deeply as His Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives I feel the wind cut through the alley just to slice you Like a razor running down your veins How the devil uses hatred to entice you Don't play a losing hand in his game Don't give up when all the others seem to mock you Though you feel your spirit's starting to wane Because there's Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven No love that can touch you deeply as His Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives Nobody knows where and how much it hurts Better than the One who's been there Nobody's been there more than the Lord And when all those aches say to quit The answer's look up ahead And you can't go back now There's nothing to go back for Is growth worth the growing pains (I can't go back, too much on the line) But now that you're running Look at the strength you've gained (Look at the junk I've been able to leave behind) None was worth it's weight It tied me down too long I've thrown it off I won't take it back on It back on (Cause I'm doing it one better) Leave behind the hate (I'm going one up) Hate did you no good (I'm gonna leave behind the devil) Wasn't worth it's weight (I'm going to hang on to His love) Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven No love that can touch you deeply as His Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven No love that can touch you deeply as His Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven No love that can touch you deeply as His Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives
