I Am Not a Nobody

By Rev. Dean Beaty 9/16/09

I Corinthians 2:9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,

neither have entered into the heart of man, the things

which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (KJV)

I am not a nobody, for Jesus died for me.

He shed His blood on Calvary from sin to set me free.

I trusted in His saving grace and became a child of God.

My Father is the King of Kings. Now a different path I trod.

I am not a nobody, I’m made in God’s image.

You can find it written right there on the first page.

I was made for fellowship with the Creator, God and King.

I am very special for I am God’s offspring.

I am not a nobody, for my name is written down

It’s in the precious Book of Life. In heaven is where it’s found.

I also have a mansion there that’s on a street of gold.

There are crowns that I have won and much more to be told.

I am not a nobody, for Christ will come someday,

To call me home to be with Him and there with Him to stay.

I’m worth more than all the world. That’s God’s value of my soul.

Consider what Christ paid for it and He paid the price in whole.

I am not a nobody, my inheritance is sure,

Preserved in heaven by God Himself to evermore endure.*

A child of God, joint heir with Christ adds up to quite a sum.

You may be a nobody, if to Christ you have not come.

* I Peter 1:4-5 “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that

fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of

God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” (KJV)
