New Christian singer/songwriter Ryan Stevenson has released Holding Nothing Back as his first single to Christian AC and Christian CHR. According to Stevenson, Holding Nothing Back is one of the most personal songs he’s ever written, and it’s clear in the intensely emotional lyrics. I’m glad tobyMac took a chance with Ryan Stevenson and Holding Nothing Back, because this isn’t usually the kind of music I’d expect from Gotee. It’s an encouraging song with a great instrumental and a memorable chorus, and it’s a personal hope of mine that more people get to hear Holding Nothing Back by Ryan Stevenson.
HOLDING NOTHING BACK Lyrics
Ryan Stevenson
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
