THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU

          "There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God." 1 Samuel 2:2

          One late night in 1981 Lenny LeBlanc received a phone call from a friend who he knew was a drug smuggler.  The friend said "Lenny, I got saved! Are you saved?"  
          Now Lenny had not been to church in 20 years and he had no idea what "saved" meant.After all, he had signed a big contract with Capitol Records. As a pop artist, he was enjoying one success after another. Pop music was his life
         His friend sent Lenny a Bible and asked him to read it.  Lenny did and two weeks later he said, "I started crying out to God for forgiveness, and I became born again right there in my house."
          For a while, Lenny was in no-man's land; he was still under contract to Capitol, but his heart wasn't into writing pop music anymore. Finally, Capitol released him from the contract, and Lenny was free to write praise and worship songs for Jesus Christ. One day, as a tune and lyrics came to him, he began to cry. That song was this song.
           He remembers that a few years later he went to Korea, at a concert where 60,000 young people had gathered. Lenny had planned to introduce this song to the Korean young people, but they already knew it! They sang this song in Korean, without his help. Afterwards, someone told him, "Didn't you know your song is one of the most po"There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God." 1 Samuel 2:2

pular Christian songs throughout all of Asia?
          For four or five years, Lenny wrestled with the dilemma. What am I? Am I an artist? Am I a worship leader? Although highly skilled and successful in both roles, Lenny ultimately felt the strongest calling in the area of worship.

           According to Lenny, "The second line of 'There Is None Like You' says, 'No one else can touch my heart like You do.' That's where God touches us—in our hearts, in our spirits, and nobody else can do that like He does. There's thousands of ways in which there's none like Him, but that's the one way I wanted to convey: 'No one else can touch my heart like You do. I could search for all eternity long and find there is none like You.'  "No person, no thing, no amount of money, no fame. I don't' care what you put up against it, it doesn't even hold up."
          Personally as the writer of this blog there are few praise and worship songs that have spoken to me as much as this one has.  So often, especially in times of doubt and fear, I sing this chorus to remind me that there is just One and only One who can meet my need.  He is the only one who is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent.  And He can touch our heart.

There is none like You,

No one else can touch my heart like You do,

I can search for all eternity Lord

And find, there is none like You.

 

There is none like You.

No one else can touch my heart like You do,

I can search for all eternity Lord

And find, there is none like You.

 

Your mercy flows like a river wide,

And healing comes from Your hand.

Suffering children are safe in Your arms,

There is none like You.

 

There is none like You, ( There is none like You, Lord)

There is none like You.

 

I can search for all eternity Lord,

There is none like You.

I can search for all eternity Lord,

There is none, (there is none,)

There is none Lord,

There is none like You.
