Only A God Like You

Wow, as of Sunday afternoon our World Missions Offering reached $65,553.68. I am most positive that amount will approach $66,000 by the day’s end. Who knows what the total will be by the end of the week, or by the end of the year. This I know for certain: our goal was $45,000, while our Father’s goal was much higher.

While reflecting on such a record-shattering accomplishment, the Lord put Tommy Walker’s song “Only A God Like You” in my heart. I sang it several times Sunday afternoon as a testimony to what God did Sunday morning.

“Only A God Like You”

For the praises of man
I will never ever stand
For the kingdoms of this world
I'll never give my heart away
Oh shout my praise
My allegiance and devotion
My heart's desire and all emotion
Go to serve the Man
Who died upon that tree
Only a God like You
Could be worthy of my praise
And all my hope and faith
To only a King of all kings
Do I bow my knee and sing
Give my everything
Only a God like You
Could be worthy of my praise
And all my hope and faith
To only a King of all kings
Do I bow my knee and sing
Give my everything
To only my Maker my Father my Savior
Redeemer Restorer Rebuilder Rewarder
To only a God like You
Do I give my praise.


Only the God Who left His throne above
He came to live with us
Came to be one of us
Who stopped to heal that blind man
Took the time to save that one last lamb
To only the King Who wore that crown of thorns
So I could wear the crown of life
And to only the One Who conquered sin and death
So we could be set free
So we could stand here and sing
Only a God like You
Only a God like You
Only a God like You
To only my Maker my Father my Savior
Redeemer Restorer Rebuilder Rewarder
To only a God like You
Do I give my praise
I give my praise.
