Song Meaning

Clark Family Music sings “Leave With Nothing Left” about living with purpose before heaven. It begins with a question: “Could it be we're so heavenly minded that somehow we've been blinded to what He's calling us to do right here?” The next lines remind us that “we leave here empty handed when this life disappears.”

The chorus is a wish to use every day. “I don't wanna waste a breath, one heartbeat in this chest, I wanna see His kingdom coming. I won't wish my life away, I want to live each day to give away what I've been given.” The bridge puts it as a goal, “I want to be the one God uses to make a difference in what forever means to you,” and lists the tasks, “be a light, lend a help, speak the truth.” The song ends with the line that gives it a title, “I don't wanna leave here with regret, I wanna leave with nothing left.”

Asking for his kingdom to come on earth is Matthew 6:10. Good works prepared for believers are in Ephesians 2:10, and finishing well is 2 Timothy 4:7.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Could it be, we're so heavenly minded that somehow
We've been blinded to what He's calling us to do right here.
Could it be that heaven's always planned it that
We leave here empty handed when this life disappears.
But is it really living,
If my one ambition is simply hanging on til we all get outta here.

I don't wanna waste a breath, one heartbeat in this chest.
I wanna see His kingdom coming.
I won't wish my life away,
I want to live each day to give away what I've been given.
I don't want to leave here with
Regret, I wanna leave with nothing left.

When I think of all that I v'e been given and what
I've learned from living, I know exactly what I need to do.
So I pray that God will give me chances to show
If somehow I could choose it,
I'd be the one God uses to make a
Difference in what forever means to you.

I don't wanna waste a breath, one heartbeat in this chest.
I wanna see His kingdom coming.
I won't wish my life away,
I want to live each day to give away what I've been given.
I don't want to leave here with
Regret, I wanna leave with nothing left.

I wanna be a light. Lend a help. Speak the truth, to a dying man.
I don't wanna waste a breath, one heartbeat in this chest.
I wanna see His kingdom coming.
I won't wish my life away,
I want to live each day to give away what I've been given.
I don't want to leave here with
Regret, No, I don't wanna leave here with regret,
I wanna leave with nothing left. leave with nothing left.
