Nobody But Jesus

By Casting Crowns + Matthew West

5,636 views Jun 14, 2026 updated Verified editorial review

Casting Crowns and Matthew West's 'Nobody' is an encouraging Christian song about finding purpose and identity in Christ. The lyrics reflect on how God often chooses unlikely, ordinary people—like Moses, David, and the disciples—to accomplish His purposes. The singer acknowledges feeling like a 'nobody' but is compelled to tell everyone about Jesus, who saved and rescued them. The song emphasizes that it's not about personal fame or recognition but about pointing others to Jesus. It draws on biblical examples to remind listeners that everyone has a God-given purpose, and that being a faithful member of God's family is what truly matters.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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 we?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

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
I?m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus
I?m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus
