Ryan Stevenson's 'Holding Nothing Back' is a raw, honest worship song about coming to Jesus with complete vulnerability. The singer admits to a hurting heart, past mistakes, and ongoing struggles, yet chooses to hold nothing back from God. He expresses a desire for nothing to come between him and Jesus, even if it means enduring hardship. The song captures a moment of total surrender and openness, acknowledging brokenness while trusting in God's grace. It's a personal prayer of laying down pretense and fully giving oneself to Christ.

Behind this curtain there is a heart that's hurting
It's been taking a beating. It's starting to fall apart
And I feel like such an easy target.
Dodging bullets, I'm exhausted
How can every moment be this hard?
I'm holding nothing back from you
Doesn't really matter what I lose
Got a heart that's open.
I'm broken and I want you to know
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between you and me
Jesus, it doesn't matter what I have to go through
I'm holding nothing back, nothing back from you
I've got a list that goes on and on
It's overflowing with memories of everything that I've been doing wrong
And I'll be the first to say,
I've chased after so many foolish things looking for a way to kill the pain
Oh, I'm holding nothing back from you
Doesn't really matter what I lose
Got a heart that's open.
I'm broken and I want you to know
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between you and me
Jesus, it doesn't matter what I have to go through
I'm holding nothing back, nothing back from you
I try to do the right things
Why am I struggling day to day with these same old things?
Whatever's taking your place, I'm getting out of the way
I'm getting out of the way
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between...
Jesus, I'll do what I gotta do
I'm holding nothing back, back from you
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between you and me
Jesus, it doesn't matter what I have to go through
I'm holding nothing back, nothing back from you...
