THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
A Nobody Like Me is a song about how God sees potential where people often see insignificance.
It draws inspiration from David, Joseph, Gideon and Moses, ordinary people called to extraordinary purposes. Each of them faced rejection, uncertainty, weakness or moments when they seemed forgotten. Yet their circumstances did not determine what God could accomplish through them.
The song then turns their stories inward, reflecting the doubts many of us carry about our own worth and purpose.
Its message is that God does not wait for us to feel qualified before He calls us.
What He has planned for our lives is not dependent on the approval or expectations of others.
A Nobody Like Me is ultimately a song of faith, purpose and becoming the somebody God already sees.
LYRICS
David, forgotten by his family
As a shepherd in the field
God saw in him a somebody
Crowned without consulting anybody
God doesn’t always choose the qualified;
He qualifies the chosen.
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
To stand before everybody
Without consulting anybody
What He has spoken
Will come to be in me
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
Joseph, forgotten in a foreign land
Sold and left in chains to stand
God saw in him a somebody
Raised to purpose without consulting anybody
God doesn’t always choose the qualified;
He qualifies the chosen.
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
To stand before everybody
Without consulting anybody
What He has spoken
Will come to be in me
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
Gideon, hiding in dark shadows
Unsure of what would become
God saw in him a somebody
Won the battle without consulting anybody
God doesn’t always choose the qualified;
He qualifies the chosen.
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
To stand before everybody
Without consulting anybody
What He has spoken
Will come to be in me
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
Moses, standing with a trembling voice
Certain he was not the one
God saw in him a somebody
Gave him words without consulting anybody
God doesn’t always choose the qualified;
He qualifies the chosen.
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
To stand before everybody
Without consulting anybody
What He has spoken
Will come to be in me
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
I am full of moments of doubt
Wondering if I’ll be a somebody
God sees in me a somebody
Planned my path without consulting anybody
God doesn’t always choose the qualified;
He qualifies the chosen.
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
To stand before everybody
Without consulting anybody
What He has spoken
Will come to be in me
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
David was crowned
Joseph was raised
Gideon stood
Moses obeyed
And the same God who called them
Is still calling me
God takes a nobody like me
Making me a somebody
