Nothing Else

by Cody Carnes

I’m sorry when I’ve just gone through the motions

I’m sorry when I just sang another song

Take me back to where we started

I open up my heart to You

I’m sorry when I’ve come with my agenda

I’m sorry when I forgot that You’re enough

Take me back to where we started

I open up my heart to You

Oh, I’m not here for blessing

Jesus, You don’t owe me anything

More than anything that You can do

I just want You

2.  God’s Land

Stewardship:

• God is the owner, you are the manager
• God has entrusted you with many things

• 1 Corinthians 3:5–9 (NLT)
