Lyrics

Why You ev er (Fm)chose me

has (Db)al ways been a (Ab)mys ter y.

All my life I’ve been told I be long at the (Db)end of the (Ab)line with all the oth er (Fm)“Not Quites,”

with (Db)all the “Nev er (Ab)Get It Rights.”

But it turns out they’re the ones You were look ing for (Db)all this (Ab)time.

’Cause I’m just a (Fm)no bod y

(Db)tryin’ to tell (Ab)ev ’ry bod y

all a bout (Fm)Some bod y who saved my (Ab)soul.

Ev er since You (Fm)res cued me, You (Db)gave my heart a (Ab)song to sing.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Fm)sus.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

Well, Mo ses had (Fm)stage fright,

and (Db)Da vid brought a (Ab)rock to a sword fight.

You picked twelve out sid ers no bod y would ’ve chos en, and You (Db)changed the (Ab)world.

Well, the mor al of the (Fm)sto ry is:

ev ’ry (Db)bod y’s got a (Ab)pur pose.

So, when I hear that dev il start talk ing to me, say ing, “Who (Db)do you think you (Ab)are?” I say: I’m just a (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

So, let me go down, down, down in (Db)his to ry

as an oth er (Ab)blood bought faith ful mem ber of the (Eb)fam i ly.

And if they (Fm)all for get my name, well, that’s fine with me.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

So, let me go down, down, down in (Db)his to ry

as an oth er (Ab)blood bought faith ful mem ber of the (Eb)fam i ly.

And if they (Fm)all for get my name, well, that’s fine with me.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

So, let me go (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

’Cause I’m just a (Fm)no bod y

(Db)tryin’ to tell (Ab)ev ’ry bod y

all a bout (Fm)Some bod y who saved my (Ab)soul.

Ev er since You (Fm)res cued me, You (Db)gave my heart a (Ab)song to sing.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Fm)sus.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

About “Nobody”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Nobody"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Ab. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Nobody" by Casting Crowns played in?
Nobody is arranged in the key of Ab on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Nobody"?
The arrangement plays at 80 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Nobody" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Nobody"?

Try "Who Am I", "VOICE OF TRUTH", "WHAT IF HIS PEOPLE PRAYED". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Nobody" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Ab, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 80 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
