God chose me to be one of His servants, and to thank Him every day, I head over to my song list of praise and worship music. Now, I have many favorites, but this song pops into my head often, and makes me smile for lots of reasons—but mainly because the central theme IS ME.
Why did God choose me? I’m just a nobody, and throughout my childhood and teenage years I heard this phrase often. To this day I’m not special, and yet God chose me and He showed me the opposite of what I was led to believe.
He said I am special to Him! And I have a purpose! And I belong! And it turns out I’m one of the ones He was looking for.
Amazing.
Check out this praise and worship song anywhere on the internet. And remember, God sent His Son to die for you so you could be chosen, too. Amen!
Nobody
Casting Crowns—Featuring Matthew West
Why You ever chose me
Has always been a mystery
All my life I’ve been told I belong at the end of the line
With all the other ‘Not-Quites’
With all the ‘Never-Get-It-Rights’
But it turns out they’re the ones You’ve been looking for all this time
‘Cause I’m just a nobody
Trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me
You gave my heart a song to sing
I’m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus
I’m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus
Moses had stage fright
And David brought a rock to a sword fight
You picked 12 outsiders nobody would’ve chosen
And You changed the world
Well, the moral of the story is
Everybody’s got a purpose
So when I hear that devil start talking to me, saying
“Who do you think you are”
I say…
I’m just a nobody
Trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me
You gave my heart a song to sing
I’m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus
I’m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus
So let me go down down down in history
As another blood-bought faithful member of the family
And if they all forget my name, well, that’s fine with me
I’m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus
‘Cause I’m just a nobody
Trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me
You gave my heart a song to sing
I’m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus!
