Who Is Like You

Thought I'd blog one more song for today. This one is dear to my heart as it's one of my earliest songs and I've always loved the feel of it. I was 19 when I started writing this one after meditating on Psalm 71. 6:8 feel.

VERSE 1
Lord You lead me through the valleys
From the depths You have rescued me
In my weakness You restore me
In my frailty You are my strength

When all that surrounds seems hopeless
I'll trust in You, Lord

CHORUS
Who is like You, precious Jesus
No one can compare to You
Who is like You, gracious Jesus
We exalt Your holy name

VERSE 2
I will proclaim Your salvation
Awesome power and righteousness
I will tell of Your great wonders
I will sing of Your faithfulness

Your glory and matchless worth, Lord
My soul will declare

BRIDGE
Saviour, Redeemer, Messiah, Great I AM
No one else worthy of praise, no one else worthy

I pray these words bless you. For those interested, there is a recording of this online - www.myspace.com/andrewmihaleff. If you would like to use this song at your church, please contact me for sheet music and so on.

For His Name!

Greatness Of Knowing You

Long time since my last post, apologies. I had wanted to write on Philippians 3 for ages. When I preached on it nearly 3 years ago, even more so I sensed I had a lyric brewing. It took the better part of 18 months and after nearly shelving it, the song was saved by dabbling with a borrowed Strat.

While the verses deal with the text, the bridge reminds us that we aren't there yet but God in His mercy continues to change us - the result is we can't help but sing! The chorus echoes Paul's ultimate summary - that nothing in this world compares to the greatness of knowing Christ!

VERSE 1
All that I've loved fades
In light of Your mercy
All that was my gain
I now count as loss
So that I may be found in You Lord
And by faith, receive Your righteousness

CHORUS
O the greatness of knowing You Lord!
O the wonder! O the blessing!
O the greatness of knowing You Lord!
Nothing in this world compares

VERSE 2
I long to know You
In Your resurrection
And to share with You
In Your suffering
So that I may become like You, Lord
In Your death and share Your risen life

BRIDGE
Humbled by Your mercy
From glory to glory, Jesus
You are changing me
For everything You've done, Lord
For Your name and honour, Jesus
Highest praise, I bring

I pray this song is a blessing to you. There is a recording up on www.myspace.com/andrewmihaleff. If you would like to use this at your church please contact me and I'd be happy to get sheet music to you.

"O the wonder!" May we always be in awe of this amazing truth.
