Nothing In This World Lyrics - Singles - Mullins Rich

Rich Mullins 

Colossians 1:3-6, Acts 8:17-24 

Is there something in your eye that looks like anger 

Is it loneliness that made you be that hard 

Still the lights from that far shore 

Seem to linger in the blood beneath those scars 

And it's not easy to remember in the city 

That there's Someone who's still lighting the stars 

And that there's 

Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven 

No love that can touch you deeply as His 

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it 

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives 

I feel the wind cut through the alley just to slice you 

Like a razor running down your veins 

How the devil uses hatred to entice you 

Don't play a losing hand in his game 

Don't give up when all the others seem to mock you 

Though you feel your spirit's starting to wane 

Because there's 

Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven 

No love that can touch you deeply as His 

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it 

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives 

Nobody knows where and how much it hurts 

Better than the One who's been there 

Nobody's been there more than the Lord 

And when all those aches say to quit 

The answer's look up ahead 

And you can't go back now 

There's nothing to go back for 

Is growth worth the growing pains 

(I can't go back, too much on the line) 

But now that you're running 

Look at the strength you've gained 

(Look at the junk I've been able to leave behind) 

None was worth it's weight 

It tied me down too long 

I've thrown it off 

I won't take it back on 

It back on 

(Cause I'm doing it one better) 

Leave behind the hate 

(I'm going one up) 

Hate did you no good 

(I'm gonna leave behind the devil) 

Wasn't worth it's weight 

(I'm going to hang on to His love) 

Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven 

No love that can touch you deeply as His 

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it 

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives 

Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven 

No love that can touch you deeply as His 

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it 

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives 

Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven 

No love that can touch you deeply as His 

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it 

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives
