To Only a God Like You

It was May 3, the day when Manny Pacquiao was about to face Ricky Hatton on the ring.

I went to church to attend the first service. If it was an ordinary Sunday, I could have waited for the elevator in the Basement - alone.

But it was no ordinary Sunday. When I walked towards the elevator, there were already people waiting in there. I could see in there in eyes that they were very excited. I have heard one said, “1,000 for Manny, he will beat Hatton in 7th round.” His companion said, “Let’s raise the stake to 10,000” and then they both laughed.

I looked at all the people around me; I felt tears swelled in my eyes. I felt chagrin. I remember the church was never filled with much people especially if it is too early in the morning. I just wished they were also excited to praise God and hear God’s words.

But, God did not disappoint them. Manny Pacquiao won and knocked out Ricky Hatton on the 2nd round.



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

[Chorus:]
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 (x2)
To only my Maker my Father my Savior
Redeemer Restorer Rebuilder Rewarder
To only a God like You
Do I give my praise

[Tag:]
Only the God Who left His throne above
He came to live with us
Come to be one of us
To only the one
Who stopped to heal that blind man
Took the time to save that one lost 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

[Bridge:]
Only a God like You
Only a God like You
Only a God like you (x4)

[Coda:]
To only my Maker my Father my Savior
Redeemer Restorer Rebuilder Rewarder
To only a God like You
I give my praise
