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”
