Empty

1. They laid their hands upon my head
And said those sacred words
And the Spirit filled my body
That’s when I felt it first
Then I always kept it with me
Through every waking hour
He was my constant companion
At least for a while
But then I made some choices that I still regret
I should have had the Spirit but instead

[Chorus]
I was empty
I was on my own
Just a shell of a man
Left all alone
But I fell down and I called out
Left my sins there on the floor
And I’m not empty anymore

2. Now whenever I feel hopeless
Or like I’m not enough
He comforts and protects me
And covers me with love
It’s a gift I couldn’t bear to be without
And I’m so blessed
He helped me turn my life around

[Chorus]
’Cause I was empty
I was on my own
Just a shell of a man
Left all alone
But I fell down and I called out
Left my sins there on the floor
And I’m not empty anymore

3. Now I’m filled with His goodness
Filled with His peace
Filled with a purpose
Much bigger than me
I’m so grateful we can rectify the past
And I’m never, no I’m never going back

[Chorus]
’Cause I was empty
I was on my own
Just a shell of a man
Left all alone
But I fell down and I called out
Left my sins there on the floor
And I’m not empty anymore
I’m not empty anymore
