Only A God Like You - Tommy Walker

I have not heard this song for quite some time even though it is on my praise and worship play list.  One of Tommy Walker's first songs, which was actually what led me to know more of his songs.  So when I saw a rendition of this song on my FaceBook Newsfeed by Wale Adenuga and Kunle Fadahunsi, it brought me back to my first days as a Christian and remembered the thirst I had for the presence of the Lord.  It was, in a word, nostalgic.

For those that have not heard this version, I included it in this post as well, you may want to give it a try.

This song helps to keep me firm in my belief and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  For indeed there is no other God like our God.

God the Father gave everything for us, even the begotten Son, which is Christ, to save us from our sins.  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), but through we are made perfect through Christ Jesus (Colossians 1:28) when Christ died on the cross he conquered sin and death and gave us life.

This was the perfect song for me then, and I can still relate to it fully now.  Such a great song to sing to our God!
