Whats in a song - Who is there like you V3

 56:050123


What’s in a song:

Who is there Like You




   When as a Child I was told this to help bolster up, and help with my self worth. By having Faith in the Lord will help your self worth, giving greater motivation to over come what ever life throws at you. This is all, but truthfully this question is answered only by one. Because we all look different from each other. You’ll be told at some point you look just like or sound like you Mum or dad, as was told many times. For this study I have decided to post each verse separately.

   Only God truly owns the title ‘Who is there like you’, for example of the one true God who created the Heavens and the Earth, you should read 1 Kings 18. Today I want delve deeper into the song ‘Who is there like you’.

1) Who is there like you?
And who else would give their life for me,
Even suffering in my place?
And who could repay you?
All of creation looks to you,
and you provide for all you have made.

2) So I’m lifting up my hands,
Lifting up my voice, lifting up your name,
and in your grace I’m blessed,
For your love has to come to me and set me free
I’m trusting in your Word.

3) Trusting in your cross, trusting in your blood,
All your faithfulness,
For your power at work in me, is
changing me Changing me

    V3] Trusting in your cross, trusting in your blood, and all your faithfulness
‘ Trusting in your cross’ .. Here we’re being tested, and asked are we willing to put our passions ~ desires ~ works ~ self, to ..
Luke 9:23 “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me”
.. so not just one time only, but .. ”daily, and follow Me” ..
Romans 3:25 “whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed”

‘trusting in your blood’ ..
Hebrews 9:22 “according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission”
   Before Jesus came and shed Hid Blood, to cover your past years sins you would have to slaughter so many Cattle ~ Sheep ~ Goats. It was this blood that said to have covered your sins, and was expected to happen year in year out. So did it really cover your sins or just to make you feel better? When Jesus came and died on the cross for our sins, only this time/sacrifice was a one time deal. Now when we come to the Heavenly Father it’s through Jesus and His blood that blots out our sins. . .
Hebrews 8:12 “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
… because His [Jesus Christ] blood has washed us clean, so when we go to God in prayer, our sins are no more, forever washed clean.

‘For you power at work in me, is changing me, changing me’
Philippians 1:21/2 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain”
   If your reading this from a ‘Non-Christian’s’ stand point, you will be thinking ‘what the heck-is-like’, they on about? Well you see it’s like this, the reason we are saved is because life has kicked the stuffing out of us, along with drive & hope. We knew at that moment we needed to make whole sale changes to our lives, this would be the only way to once again have ~ drive and a life worth getting up for each morning. This could only happen with Jesus Christ in our lives. Replacing our old ways for His. As unlike you & I He won’t let us down, instead He directs us in in righteous ways, He gives us strength to face our fears, also from His living Word, wisdom beyond our understanding. This has got sound good, right?
Philippians 1:22 “But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labour; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell”
   In our might, it would be very hard to get our hearts desires. Where as the moment you surrender all to Jesus, and His perfect will, in faith, the riches of Heaven are poured out. Hence why die to our old selves/ways, and now have ..”to die is gain”
‘You power at work in me’ .. To me this means, the way I once behaved or felt have all died, now I have Christ ‘working in me’, influencing me for the better. His name is Jesus Christ.

   Before I sign off, God has just reminded what He wanted to encourage you with, when you think you can’t sing. God is not worried about this instead He wants to hear your song. He says forget those who don’t want to hear your voice, because He does, He wants you to do as the Psalmist said . . .

Psalms 150 “Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!
3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!
...Here is what He wanted tell you..
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord”

#V2 follows in a couple of days, so please listen to the song a few times. here is the link to the song, just past the link into your browser ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYkce-EhNuQ

Prayer
Heavenly Father God, I was a nobody, now I'm somebody, because yoiu saved my soul. So I'm telling everybody, by raising my hands & voice to you Jesus. Amen

What’s in a song:

Who is there Like You

   When as a Child I was told this to help bolster up, and help with my self worth.

1) Who is there like you?
And who else would give their life for me,
Even suffering in my place?
And who could repay you?
All of creation looks to you,
and you provide for all you have made.

2) So I’m lifting up my hands,
Lifting up my voice, lifting up your name,
and in your grace I’m blessed,
For your love has to come to me and set me free
I’m trusting in your Word.

3) Trusting in your cross, trusting in your blood,
All your faithfulness,
For your power at work in me, is
changing me Changing me

    V2] So I’m lifting up my hands
Psalms 134:2 “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the Lord”Psalms 135:1-3 “Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord! 2 You who stand in the house of the Lord, In the courts of the house of our God, 3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant”
   
   When praising our Lord on high, we’re encouraged to raise our hands up to Heaven just we see many others do, aside from the fact that we are told to do so in the Bible, as here .. “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the Lord” .. I would recommend though you raise them on high ‘OPEN’. As have you ever tried to someone anything, when they have a clenched fist. Most must have seen a bird nature film, when a parent returns to the nest and all the chicks would stand to receive with their mouths OPEN wide, other wise they will receive nothing. So to help receive from our Heavenly Father, just as did when as a child we stood with our arms open-wide to receive, so we need to the same with our Heavenly father God.

‘Lifting up my voice, lifting up your name’
Psalms 5:3 “My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up”
   God does not care if you sing off key, all that matters is that you do .. “My voice You shall hear” .. not to just hum some nondescript tune, which I have been guilty of myself, from time to time. Don’t let it just be in .. “the Morning” .. In our car the radio station called ‘Premier Praise’. They play, 24/7, old & new Christian songs/ Hymns & worship songs from a variation of artists. So on the whole you are bound to know a song that you can sing along too, before you know it your lifting your voice in praise. “I will direct it to you” ‘lifting up you name’. . 
* Please I recommend, don’t lift up your eyes or hands whilst driving * ...As I have just said you can find time during the day to worship Him .. Buss~ Train ~ Walking .. no matter there is always time, even in the shower. Just the other day whilst waiting in the car for Betty to do the shopping, I had the radio on singing my head off to some worship songs on the radio.
‘ And in your grace I’m blessed’ .. Being blessed could mean, having green lights all the on your journey, whilst singing praises to Him, or just doing someone a nice turn. Gods riches are limitless.

‘For your love has to come to me and set me free’
Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage”
God love for us is without measure, that is the price He has put on our soul. John 3:16 tells us . .
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son”
… that is how much He loves us. If this don’t convince you, you need Him more than you know or realise. He came to set us free from our bondage. See what Jesus tells us about He came to free us . . .
John 8:36 “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed”
… so .. you shall be free indeed” .. if you thought different let these words encourage you, for god is faithful all the time. I hear you say that ‘I’m not in bondage, I have to say you are. Do you smoke? ~ Do you drink? ~ Do you Gamble? Do you like looking at Porn? Are always low/angry/feeling lost? These are forms of bondage.. “the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed”
* The New King James Bible put the ‘made free’ statement in, which comes from the old Hebrew word: ‘eleutheroo’.which breaks down phenetically as the following .. ‘el – you – ther – ah – oh’. Strongs Concordance #1159 I.E. to liberate, acquit, set-free, deliver.

‘ I’m trusting in your word’
   We really must believe in His ‘Living-Word’. Why Do I call it so? It is because our Saviour lives, as does God. His Word has been a road map on how to live, since the day it was written. So it’s relevance for life will last forevermore. . .
Psalms 17:7 “You who save those who trust in You”
2 Samuel 7:28 “O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant”
… so what is there to disbelieve? Samuel has told us this as well as the Psalmist.

#V2 follows in a couple of days, so please listen to the song a few times. here is the link to the song, just past the link into your browser ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYkce-EhNuQ 

Prayer
I fear no one as I'm yours Lord. I was once lost cut a drift in a storm of no end, until I found you. You give hope to the hopeless, through your Word. Let my voice carry the love in my heart for you. I know I'm free from all bondage, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Thank you Heavenly Father, Amen

1) Who is there like you?
And who else would give their life for me,
Even suffering in my place?
And who could repay you?
All of creation looks to you,
and you provide for all you have made.

2) So I’m lifting up my hands,
Lifting up my voice, lifting up your name,

For your love has to come to me and set me free
I’m trusting in your Word.

3) Trusting in your cross, trusting in your blood,
All your faithfulness,
For your power at work in me, is
changing me Changing me

    V1] Who is there like you?
Psalms 35:10 “All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like You”
   Well there you have it, even the Psalmist proclaims ..“who is like You” .. There truly is NO one like Him. The records have said No one before or since. Without artificial insemination has there been a child conceived this way. So whilst singing ‘Who is there like you’, Lord we reverently mean these words .. ‘And who else would give their life for me, Even suffering in my place? .. is there someone that is a total stranger to you, who you would free;y give your life for, just so that would not suffer, at all? That is what our Lord Jesus did for us. . .
Galatians 2:20 “ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me”
.. There is no room for dead works, or these either .. ‘good living for a living’ .. or .. ‘Glorified Sunday social club’..having Christ in our lives is because we were lost sheep, and you have helped us to have a more fulfilling life, with in it. NO one could have ever done for us as you have.

‘And who could repay you? All of creation looks to you’
Isaiah 65:17-18 “ behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create”
   There Scientists that are breaking down the DNA sequence, be it from us to Animals to plants, to tells what and why we do things. Just so they can tell us who things [us] were created, using all manner of machines/scopes/spectrographs. Well, us Christians, don’t need all these fancy and very expensive machines. For I have a personal relationship with the ‘Original-Creater of everything’, His name is, well of cause it’s God.

‘And you provide for all you have made’
    Without doubt God created the Heavens & the Earth. [Genesis 1]. He created all the fish in the sea’s, and all their food there of. Like wise all the birds of the air, as well as all the various animals of the land that walk hop scurry & slither. `such as the Rattle snake to Scorpion, and from the Lion to the Rhino. The us, what God did do is to give us dominion over ALL of them Sea ~ Air & Land. . .
Psalms 104:14-18 “He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the service of man, That he may bring forth food from the earth, 15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, And bread which strengthens man’s heart. 16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, 17 Where the birds make their nests; The stork has her home in the fir trees. 18 The high hills are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers”
… so you it’s God who’ll provide all our needs from food on our tables; to the materials needed to create or build our homes; God has a hand in it all, from Architects to clothing designers. These are just a couple of people whom God gave talents to create . . .
Genesis 22:14 “And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided”
… even Abraham recognised Gods help when it came to harvest time, in all he did.

 Prayer
Heavenly Father here I am once again seeking you in this place, as I do nothing by my own strength, but in yours. Lord I am nothing, because I surrender my all to you. Amen
