A journalist asked, “what will happen, Mother Teresa, when you are no longer with us?” Her answer: “I believe that if God finds a person even more useless than me, He will do even greater things through her.” – from the Prayer of Jabez devotional by Bruce Wilkinson

He takes nobodies, just like me
And makes them someone
The world can see…

As miracles, wonders, amazing to see
Because they were nobodies,
Not expected to be anything worthy of contemplating
They were mere mortals, with human errors
Sinners who knew they were unworthy of blessings
Just ‘nobodies’ who were undeserving and disgraceful
Full of shame and dishonor – in need of our prayers!

He takes those nobodies, just like me
And makes them worthwhile
So the world can see….

Beyond the sin, beyond the despair
There is a heart who, once in God’s care
Becomes someone worthy of our kindness
Someone worthy of our interest
Someone worthy of our acceptance
Someone who God makes into ‘okay’
A nobody who will be welcomed by the Creator
Into heaven, where we can know the One who is love.

He takes nobodies, just like me
And makes them someone who the world will see
As miraculous because they’re His child,
Wonder of wonders – His love is alive!

While we don’t know the when or the why
We can see the change from darkness to light
We can see the way God makes a way in life
We can see the faith that stirs our hearts to pray
We can see the music that stills us so we’re saved
We can see the love that arose from the grave –
To offer us forgiveness that would surely change us
So that when we say, I’m saved…

We are reminded that love is here to stay
And when we take the time to say
Love is the only way – we realize that, once saved
Our spirits will someday walk away…
Nobodies who’ve been changed to saints,
Who will finally reach the destination of heaven,
Where God will take us home, to the house He built for us,
To the home that is far away, but will always remain
A place where we will stay – God’s children
And come what may, we’ll always love the way
God saved us from the shame – God saved us from the stain
Of sin that was once ours,…

Nobody, I truly am – but a nobody that knows God CAN!
