Lyrics
Verse 1
Early one Sunday morning
A thought came in my mind
Well I would still be lost
If it had not been for him
Well I don't know what I would do
If he hadn't brought me out of sin
Where the devil thought he had me
I sure got away, As a result of my gratitude
One thing that I can say is
Lord I thank ya
Chorus
Lord I thank ya for, For your loving grace
Lord I thank ya for, For all the things you done for me oh lord
Lord I thank ya for, For your Victory
Lord I thank ya for, For all the things you done for me
Verse 2
Sitting here contemplating
About the trials I had to face
Where I don't know what I would do
Without his amazing grace
Well I would still be lost
If it had not been for him
I don't know what I would do
Without his saving grace
Where the devil thought he had me
I sure got away, As a result of my gratitude
One thing that I can say is Lord I thank ya
Bridge
Lord you give me strength ( and power)
You help me make it (every hour)
I cast on you (my cares)
and all of my burdens you (will bare)

Vamp
There's nobody
Nobody like Jesus
Repeat
Ad Lib
I come that you might, That you might have life
That you might have life, More abundantly
I come because I love ya, Come because i care
Come cause I know you need me, Come cause I'm always there
I looked toward the north, Look toward the south
I couldn't find nobody, to help me fight this fight
I looked toward heaven Looked toward heaven
Mary's little baby, what is his name yall Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
Nobody Like Jesus is a gospel praise song of thanks for being saved and carried through trouble. The first verse says that without Him the singer would still be lost and does not know what would have happened outside of His grace, remembering the devil's attempt to hold on and the escape that followed. The chorus repeats thanks for His loving grace, victory and everything He has done.
The second verse thinks over past trials and the amazing and saving grace that carried through them, and a section declares that He gives strength and power and helps through every hour, taking up cares and burdens. The vamp repeats that there is nobody like Jesus, and the ad lib recalls life more abundantly, a search in every direction with no one else able to help, and the question of the name of Mary's little baby. The themes follow John 10:10, 1 Peter 5:7 and Ephesians 2:8. The call-and-response style gives the song a lively, thankful tone.
