| 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

|
| 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» |
