Jason Gray's song 'Nothing's All I Need' is a reflective worship piece about surrendering self-sufficiency and coming to God with empty hands. The lyrics emphasize that human efforts and achievements are not what earn God's love; instead, believers are invited to let go of pride and receive His grace freely. The repeated plea 'Jesus empty me' captures the desire to be emptied of self so that God can fill the void with His presence and mercy. The song reassures listeners that God meets them in their weakness and poverty of spirit, offering riches to those who admit their need.

The riches of your kingdom
Are mercies never ending
But I cannot receive them
Until my hands are empty
I keep trying to bring my best
But you ask for so much less
Nothing�??s all I need
Nothing�??s all I need
Jesus empty me
When nothing�??s all I need
I�??m afraid to stand before a king
Without a gift to offer
But there�??s nothing that I must bring
To be loved by a Father
When I lift my empty cup
You bend low to fill it up
Nothing�??s all I need
Nothing�??s all I need
Jesus empty me
When nothing�??s all I need
I am always wanting to come and sit beside you
But I am always waiting to feel like I deserve to
I keep trying to stand so tall
But you hold me when I�??m small
Nothing�??s all I need
Nothing�??s all I need
Jesus empty me
When nothing�??s all I need
You give riches to the poor
So I ask for more
Jesus empty me
When nothing's all I need
