Nothing More Than You

Cory Asbury's song 'Nothing More Than You' is a heartfelt expression of awe and gratitude towards a divine love that surpasses human understanding. The lyrics delve into the profound realization of being loved by a higher power, despite one's flaws and shortcomings. Asbury uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the depth of his need for a connection that transcends the ordinary, seeking words 'deeper than the ocean' and a voice 'bigger than the sky' to adequately express his feelings.

The song reflects a journey of spiritual awakening and acceptance. Asbury initially perceives God as distant and grace as unattainable, but he comes to understand that his life is valued and cherished. This revelation is encapsulated in the line, 'The One who made the world, somehow thinks the world of me.' The repeated acknowledgment of being loved by the 'highest King of Heaven' despite feeling unworthy ('chose to love a fool') highlights the theme of unconditional love and redemption.

Asbury's lyrics also touch on themes of perseverance and divine intervention during times of despair. He recounts moments of feeling lost and unworthy, yet experiencing a love that remains steadfast. The imagery of being 'six feet under' and then being 'pulled from the grave' symbolizes a profound transformation and renewal. Ultimately, the song is a testament to the power of divine love and the singer's unwavering desire for a deeper connection with the divine, encapsulated in the refrain, 'I want nothing more than You.'
