The Message
The song is a reminder of our constant need for God. The song proclaims that there is nothing we can do without God and it’s not about the things that we constantly ask Him to do for us, it’s about the things we are expected to do for Him as His children.
Lyrics
(Intro)
Anybody in here depended on Jesus
I mean like totally depended on Jesus
And it’s no point without Him
It’s a waste of time without Him
Right?
Yeah, feel free to sing with us
The song is simple it says!
(Chorus)
Tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you
Oh, tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you
Oh, tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you
Oh, tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you
[Verse 1]
So here’s my heart, here’s my mind
I give you my soul, Lord
Need you to take control
Cause I’ve tried it on
Tried it on my own but
But what i found is, I can’t make it
[Bridge]
On my own, on my own
(Yeah) I can’t make it, I can’t make it
On my own, on my own
I can’t make it, I can’t make it
[Chorus]
(Yeah) So, tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you
So, tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you
So here’s my heart, here’s my mind
I give you my soul, Lord
Need you to take control
Cause I’ve tried it on, tried it on my own but
But what i found is, I can’t make it
(Brigde)
(Yeah) On my own, on my own
I can’t make it, I can’t make it
On my own, on my own
I can’t make it, I can’t make it
