I'm Just A Nobody - Fred Hammond

Melvin was walkin' downtown

And he saw this homeless dude

And he was tellin' everybody about Jesus

But nobody wasn’t listenin', 'cause it looked like he was, you know, uh-uh-uh

He said, «Because of what I got, I’m not all on the 'Gram or anything»

Nobody wants to listen to me

And then he said, it touched him when he, when he said this

He said, I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody who can save anybody, that’s what he said, didn’t he?

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody, who can save anybody

I got so many problems in my life that I just start drinkin'

I thought that would ease my pain, yeah

But I got tired of that, and I gave my life to the Lord

And that’s when, that’s when everything around me started to change,

but people still kept sayin'

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody who can save anybody, that’s what they said

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody, who can save anybody

On the streets day and night, that’s my life, that’s my home

I really don’t have nowhere else I can go

But I still keep roamin' these streets tellin' people about the love of Jesus

From corner to corner and from door to door, but when I knock, you know what

they say

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody who can save anybody, anybody know what I’m talkin' 'bout?

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody, who can save anybody One more time, sing it

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody who can save anybody, I’ma walk over here to the Baptist side

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody, who can save anybody

Hold up a second, you know what he can do?

Save, save

Save your soul, anybody know what I’m talkin' about?

Save, save

Save your soul, right there

When I was twelve years old

I’ma bring out my quartet roots

My mother was takin' me home

She was mad at God

Because her husband, my father, my stepfather Ray died at thirty-two years old

With colon cancer

So she stopped goin' to church for two years, but one day she said

«Freddie, we gon' go back to church

Because you need to know the Lord and the pardon of your sins, you’re eleven

years old

And it’s time for you to get yourself together

Because one day the Lord is coming back in the rapture»

And I said, «Ma, what’s the rapture?»

She said, «That's when the Lord’s gonna come back and take everyone that loves

him and know him

Freddie, our sins put Jesus on the cross»

And I didn’t know nothin' about all that

And she talked to me, she said, «Well, next Sunday we goin'»

I went into the house and I was pricked in the heart at eleven years old

So I, I went and found the most holy place in my house that I knew

That I saw, that I witnessed

Which was my mother’s bedroom

And I kneeled down beside that bed

And if you knew anything about mama, you don’t go in her bedroom

And I kneeled down on that bed

And I started cryin' at eleven

And I said, «I'm sorry, Jesus

I didn’t know I nailed you to the cross

And I’m sorry, Jesus, I didn’t know I pierced your side

And I’m sorry, Jesus, I didn’t know I nailed your feet

I didn’t know I did this to you

But let the blood flow down, let the blood flow down

Let the blood flow down on me because I’m sorry

I’m sorry, I’m sorry

I’m sorry and ever since then, ever since then

I tried to tell 'em

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody who can save anybody, anybody know what I’m talkin' about?

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody who can save anybody, one more time, can I get five of y’all to

stand and say it?

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody who can save anybody, A nobody, nobody

I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody

About somebody who can save anybody

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Do me a favor, high five about two or three people next to you and say

«Jesus loves you, Jesus loves you

If you didn’t know it, He got your back, He got your back»
