NOBODY AND SOMEBODY

I’M A NOBODY

By Susie Hale

I’m a nobody:                      John 8:32

Can I be used of Thee?

Can You really set people free

Through a nobody like me?

“I’m a nobody.                     Exodus 4:10

Why, I can’t even talk.”

At first Moses balked;

But through a sea, he walked.

“I’m a nobody”                     Judges 6:15

The youngest of the least.”

But Gideon put out a fleece

And fought for Israel’s peace.

“I’m a nobody:                     Matt. 4:18         

A simple fisherman.”

But Peter followed the Son of Man

And at Pentecost, preached God’s plan.

I’m a nobody.                             Psalm 25:4

But God can use me now

If to His will, I’ll bow.

Lord, please show me how.

REALITY IS: I AM A SOMEBODY

I am a Somebody.                          2 Corinthians 5:17

Jesus died to make me a new creation.

When I trusted Him,

Heaven held a celebration!

I am a Somebody.                    John 10

The Holy Spirit drew me into the fold.                

The Father holds me in His hand,

So I am not afraid to be bold.

I am a Somebody.                    Romans 8

Although I had no value within me

And sinned against God daily,

He chose to adopt me into His family.

I am a Somebody.                    Malachi 3:17a

The Holy Spirit is my strength and fuel.

He empowers me to obedience

To be God’s shiny, precious jewel!
