Steven Curtis Chapman's 'Without Him' is a classic gospel hymn that underscores human dependence on Jesus for salvation and hope. The lyrics contrast a life without Christ—marked by failure, drifting, and hopelessness—with the security and freedom found in Him. The song also serves as an evangelistic plea, urging listeners to know Jesus and not turn Him away. Its simple, repetitive structure reinforces the central message of total reliance on God's grace.

Without Him, I could do nothing
Without Him, I'd surely fail
Without Him, I would be drifting
Like a ship without a sail
Without Him, I would be dying
Without Him, I'd be enslaved
Without Him, life would be hopeless
But with Jesus, thank God I am saved
Jesus, oh Jesus
Do you know Him today
Please don't turn Him away
Oh Jesus, my Jesus
Without Him, how lost I would be
Jesus, oh Jesus
Do you know Him today
Please don't turn Him away
Oh Jesus, my Jesus
Without Him, how lost I would be
