I don't like wearing T-shirts,
as they make me sweat with the binding crew neck.
So I don't wear them,
until now.
I bought my first concert T-shirt
at a Casting Crowns concert,
because it had my name on it~
NOBODY.
Yup. It makes me smile.
I love wearing this long sleeved black T-shirt,
because of the name
NOBODY
written in big white letters.
And why?
Because I relate to a NOBODY.
Oh how I felt like a
NOBODY,
when the only phone calls
I received were from spam.
Oh how I felt like a
NOBODY,
when
I felt like NOBODY knew that I existed.
Oh how I felt like a
NOBODY,
when
my feelings were hurt,
and would never hear the words I am sorry.
Oh how I felt like a
NOBODY,
when
I was not included.
But today
I LOVE being a NOBODY,
because if I was
SOMEBODY,
I would have never
looked up to the
SOMEBODY
WHO IS
with me
wherever I go.
and
WHO HEALS
my broken heart,
and
WHO NEVER
excludes me,
because
who creates
a NOBODY.
Are you breathing?
Are you reading right now?
Then you are not a NOBODY.
Is there a hurt that just won't stop hurting?
Do you feel rejected?
Do you feel lonely?
If you are FEELING,
then you are not a NOBODY.
Why do I smile wearing my new NOBODY T-shirt?.
Because that is who I am .
I am HIS NOBODY!
For SOMEBODY LOVES
this NOBODY
who just wants to tell
everyone about
JESUS,
because
JESUS
doesn't die on a cross for a
NOBODY.
Oh AMAZING GRACE how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
Oh AMAZING GRACE that UNLEASHED me from the chains that
kept my heart so locked up
that there was no room
for me to be loved or for me to love.
But then JESUS was BIRTHED,
I had a CHRISTMAS in my HEART.
For who leaves HIS HEAVENLY throne,
to be swaddled in RAGS as a baby,
just to be born on CHRISTMAS
and then to be crucified on GOOD FRIDAY
and to be buried in a borrowed tomb.
Hmm,
sounds like a NOBODY.
But who ROSE on EASTER!
Oh a SOMEBODY,
because this is an impossibility for
a NOBODY.
So why would you & how could you not look up to
THE SOMEBODY
who was
BORN to DIE for you and me and everyone else.
Because "You're NOBODY until SOMEBODY LOVES you"
(Dean Martin),
and that SOMEBODY LOVES YOU~
"The LORD is close to all who call on HIM,
yes, to all who call on HIM in truth.
HE grants the desires of those who fear HIM;
HE hears their cries for help and rescues them"
(Psalm 145: 18-19).
So thank you Casting Crowns
for my new name that I proudly wear~
"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"
("NOBODY" listen to the song below)
