Shane & Shane's 'Nothing Without You' featuring Bethany Barnard is a heartfelt worship song expressing deep longing for intimacy with God. The lyrics repeatedly ask God to peel back the layers of the heart to experience true communion and fellowship. The song acknowledges human weakness and dependence, declaring that without God, one is nothing and barely breathing. It also includes a plea for God to carry the weary, hold the low, and pull the broken through. The overall tone is one of surrender, vulnerability, and trust in God's sustaining presence.

Oh God, peel back the layers of my heart
I want communion, I want fellowship
I want to be with You where You are
Oh God, peel back the layers of my heart
I want communion, I want fellowship
I want to be with You where You are
I want to be with You
I want to be with You
I want to be with You, Lord
Oh God, peel back the layers of my heart
I want communion, I want fellowship
I want to be with You where You are
I want to be with You
I want to be with You
I want to be with You, Lord
And I'm nothing without You
I'm barely breathing
Your heart is my refuge
Oh Lord
I'm nothing without You
I'm barely breathing
Your heart is my refuge
Oh Lord
Oh, I know
I'm nothing without You
I'm barely breathing
Your heart is my refuge
Oh Lord
And when I'm tired and weak
Lord, will You carry me?
And when I'm feeling low
Hold me close
And when I'm tired and weak
Lord, will You carry me?
And when I'm broken in two
Pull me through
