Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. They laid their hands upon my headAnd said those sacred wordsAnd the Spirit filled my bodyThat’s when I felt it firstThen I always kept it with meThrough every waking hourHe was my constant companionAt least for a whileBut then I made some choices that I still regretI should have had the Spirit but instead
I was emptyI was on my ownJust a shell of a manLeft all aloneBut I fell down and I called outLeft my sins there on the floorAnd I’m not empty anymore
2. Now whenever I feel hopelessOr like I’m not enoughHe comforts and protects meAnd covers me with loveIt’s a gift I couldn’t bear to be withoutAnd I’m so blessedHe helped me turn my life around
’Cause I was emptyI was on my ownJust a shell of a manLeft all aloneBut I fell down and I called outLeft my sins there on the floorAnd I’m not empty anymore
Now I’m filled with His goodnessFilled with His peaceFilled with a purposeMuch bigger than meI’m so grateful we can rectify the pastAnd I’m never, no I’m never going back
’Cause I was emptyI was on my ownJust a shell of a manLeft all aloneBut I fell down and I called outLeft my sins there on the floorAnd I’m not empty anymoreI’m not empty anymore
