By Casting Crowns

Casting Crowns' song 'Nobody' featuring Matthew West celebrates how God uses ordinary, overlooked people to share the gospel. The lyrics reflect on biblical figures like Moses and David, who felt inadequate yet were used mightily by God. The song encourages listeners to embrace their identity as 'nobodies' whose purpose is to point others to Jesus. It emphasizes that worth and significance come from being chosen by God, not from worldly standards. The message is one of humility, purpose, and evangelism, reminding believers that their role is to make Jesus known, not to seek personal fame.

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 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

So let me go down down down in history (go down in history)
As another blood-bought faithful member of the family (it's all I ever wanna be)
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
