Nobody Like Jesus
Chicago Mass Choir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Early one Sunday morning
A thought came in my mind
Where would I be
If the Lord himself had never turn back the time
I would still be lost
In the state that I was in
If the hand of God would've never come along
And brought me out of sin
But when the devil thought he had me
I sure got away
As a result of my gratitude
There's one thing that I can say is
Lord I thank ya

Chorus

Lord I thank you for, For your loving grace
Lord I thank you for, (New mercies Everyday oh Lord) Lord I thank you for, For the Victory
Lord I thank you for, (Everything you've done for me)

Verse 2

I stand here contemplating
About the trials that I have faced
I never would have made it this far
Without his amazing grace
When I felt that I could keep myself
You kept me safe thus far
And I'll testify to all the world
That you alone are God
But when the devil thought he had me
I sure got away, As a result of my gratitude
There's one thing that I can say
Lord I thank ya

Chorus

Lord you give me strength (and power)
To go through every (every hour)
I cast on you (my cares)
My burdens you (will bare)

Repeat

Theres nobody
Nobody like Jesus

Repeat

Ad Lib
I came that you might, That you might have life
That you might have life, More abundantly
I came because I love ya, Came because i care
I Came cause I keep you, Came and I'm always there
I looked toward the left, Looked toward the right
I couldn't find nobody, to help me fight this fight
I looked toward heaven Looked toward heaven
Mary's little baby Mary's little baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chicago Mass Choir's song "Nobody Like Jesus" describe the singer's gratitude towards God for his unrelenting love, mercy, and grace. The song starts by reflecting on how lost the singer would have been if the Lord had not turned back the time and brought them out of sin. The singer acknowledges that it was due to the hand of God that they were saved from their state of sin. They then go on to proclaim their gratitude towards God for all the things he has done and continues to do for them, such as giving them new mercies every day, providing victory, and loving them unconditionally.


The second verse of the song focuses on the trials and challenges that the singer has faced, and how they would not have been able to overcome them without the grace of God. The singer acknowledges that even when they thought they could keep themselves safe, it was God who protected them. The verse ends with a testimony of God's greatness and his power to save. The chorus is a repetition of the things that the singer is grateful to God for, and the bridge is a declaration that there is nobody like Jesus.


Line by Line Meaning

Early one Sunday morning
One day while reflecting on my life


A thought came in my mind
I started thinking


Where would I be
What would have become of me


If the Lord himself had never turn back the time
If God hadn't given me a second chance


I would still be lost
I'd still be wandering in confusion


In the state that I was in
In the mental and emotional state I was in


If the hand of God would've never come along
If God never intervened in my life


And brought me out of sin
And saved me from my sins


But when the devil thought he had me
When I was almost overwhelmed by the enemy


I sure got away
God provided a way of escape


As a result of my gratitude
Out of thankfulness to God


There's one thing that I can say is
I can confidently say


Lord I thank ya
Thank you, Lord


Lord I thank you for, For your loving grace
Thank You, God, for your abundant love and mercy


Lord I thank you for, (New mercies Everyday oh Lord) Lord I thank you for, For the Victory
Thank You, God, for new blessings every day and for the victories You've given me


Lord I thank you for, (Everything you've done for me)
Thank You, God, for everything You've done for me


I stand here contemplating
I am reflecting and pondering


About the trials that I have faced
Thinking about the hardships I've overcome


I never would have made it this far
I know I wouldn't have come this far without God's help


Without his amazing grace
Without God's undeserved kindness and favor


When I felt that I could keep myself
When I thought I could do it on my own


You kept me safe thus far
You've protected me up to this point


And I'll testify to all the world
I will declare to everyone


That you alone are God
That only You, God, are deserving of worship


Lord you give me strength (and power)
You, God, give me the power and energy I need


To go through every (every hour)
To face each moment of life


I cast on you (my cares)
I give You my worries and anxieties


My burdens you (will bare)
You will carry my heavy load


Theres nobody
There's no one else


Nobody like Jesus
Jesus is unique and incomparable


I came that you might, That you might have life
I came into the world so that you could have an abundant life


That you might have life, More abundantly
I want you to experience an even richer and fuller life


I came because I love ya, Came because i care
I came for you out of love and concern


I Came cause I keep you, Came and I'm always there
I came to keep and protect you and I'll always be there for you


I looked toward the left, Looked toward the right
I searched everywhere


I couldn't find nobody, to help me fight this fight
I couldn't find anyone to help me in this battle


I looked toward heaven Looked toward heaven, Mary's little baby Mary's little baby
Eventually, I looked to heaven and found Mary's little baby, Jesus
