The Greatest Thing I’ll Ever Be

I wanted so to please You
To make You proud of me
I did all I knew to be
The best that I could be
But everything I tried to do
Never seemed enough
So what a sweet surprise it was
When You showed me with such love

That the greatest thing I'll ever be is nothing, Lord
Then You'll be everything in me and so much more
I never would have guessed this was what I was striving toward
The greatest thing I'll еver be is nothing, Lord

I was working hard for You, Lord
Trying to succeed
'Cause I thought succеss was measured
By the things I could achieve
But through my disappointment came
Your firm but loving call
If I lay down my life for Your sake
Then I will have it all

And the greatest thing I'll ever be is nothing, Lord
Then You'll be everything in me and so much more
I never would have guessed this was what I was striving toward
The greatest thing I'll ever be
The greatest thing I'll ever be
The greatest thing I'll ever be is nothing, Lord
