Lyrics

**Verse 1**
Tank on E, but I’m still trying to drive,
Smile on my face, barely holding inside.
Everybody asking, “You good?”—“Yeah, I’m straight,”
Whole time I’m carrying a heavyweight.
Giving everybody everything I got,
Pouring out love till there’s nothing in the pot.
Running all day, never stopping to breathe,
Trying to be strong while my spirit screams, **“Please.”**
Then Jesus said, **“Come, you don’t gotta perform,
I’m still your shelter in the middle of storms.”**
So I shut down the noise, got alone with the King,
Opened up the Word, started telling Him everything.
Didn’t need another hustle, didn’t need more speed,
I needed living water for a soul running weak.
I came with nothing left, fell down on my knees—
**Running on empty, but Jesus filled me.**
**Chorus**
Running on empty!
**RUNNING ON EMPTY!**
Nothing in the tank,
But Jesus still kept me!
Strength got low—
**HE FILLED ME!**
Hope got low—
**HE FILLED ME!**
I was pouring out
Till there was nothing left in me—
**RUNNING ON EMPTY,
BUT JESUS FILLED ME!**
Slow down!
**GET WITH JESUS!**
Burned out?
**GET WITH JESUS!**
You can’t keep giving
What you never receive—
**COME TO THE SOURCE,
LET JESUS FILL YOU!**
**Verse 2**
Calendar packed, got a hundred things due,
Phone keep buzzing like it owns what I do.
Work needs this, family needs that,
Another little problem getting dropped in my lap.
Trying to save everybody, fix everything,
Forgot for a minute—I am not the King.
I got limitations, God never did,
So I handed Him the weight I was carrying.
See, rest ain’t lazy when God says rest,
Even Jesus stepped away from the crowd and the stress.
Prayer ain’t wasting time when the pressure gets real,
Sometimes getting still is exactly how you heal.
I was asking for strength while refusing to stop,
Trying to pour from a cup with barely one drop.
Then God slowed me down so my soul could receive—
**You can’t run forever when you’re running on E.**
**Chorus**
Running on empty!
**RUNNING ON EMPTY!**
Nothing in the tank,
But Jesus still kept me!
Strength got low—
**HE FILLED ME!**
Hope got low—
**HE FILLED ME!**
I was pouring out
Till there was nothing left in me—
**RUNNING ON EMPTY,
BUT JESUS FILLED ME!**
**RUNNING ON EMPTY,
BUT JESUS FILLED ME!**
Slow down!
**GET WITH JESUS!**
Burned out?
**GET WITH JESUS!**
You can’t keep giving
What you never receive—
**COME TO THE SOURCE,
LET JESUS FILL YOU!**
**Verse 3**
Maybe you tired from fighting that fight,
Praying every morning, crying every night.
Faith still there, but your energy gone,
Wondering how much longer you can keep holding on.
Hear me—you don’t have to manufacture strength,
God’s power shows up when you reach your own end.
When you got nothing left, He’s still everything—
**Weak hands can still hold onto the King.**
Elijah got tired, God gave him some rest,
Didn’t throw him away ’cause he wasn’t his best.
David found strength in the Lord when distressed,
Paul learned grace was enough in weakness.
So I’m done pretending that I never get drained,
I know where to go when I’m empty again.
Straight to the Savior, straight to His feet—
**He’s got an endless supply for everything I need.**
**Final Chorus**
Tank on empty—
**JESUS FILLS IT!**
Heart feels empty—
**JESUS FILLS IT!**
Hope feels empty—
**JESUS FILLS IT!**
Strength feels empty—
**JESUS FILLS IT!**
Too tired to run?
**COME TO JESUS!**
Too weak to fight?
**COME TO JESUS!**
Nothing left?
**COME TO JESUS!**
He’s got everything
**YOU NEED IN JESUS!**
Stop!
Refill!
Pray!
Be still!
Word in my heart,
I’m back in His will!
I don’t need more hustle,
I need more of the King!
**HE’S MY WATER!
HE’S MY BREAD!
HE’S MY STRENGTH
WHEN I GOT NOTHING LEFT!**
I came to Him empty,
Now look what He did—
**JESUS FILLED MY SOUL
AND GOT ME RUNNING AGAIN!**
