Less Like Me

"​In like manner, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.  Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility; for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” ~Peter 1 5:5
​If you were fortunate enough to hear Mtr. Liz’s homily this past Sunday, our Savior’s parable of the Pharisee v the Tax Collector, shed light on the call to humble oneself.  Humility is indeed the theme of “Less Like Me” by Zach Williams.
Zack was born in 1978 and has been a popular Christian music artist since 2007, living in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He writes the majority of his music, which features his raspy baritone voice and country/acoustic style.  He has won 5 Grammy and GMA Dove awards, including the 2021 Grammy for “There Was Jesus” (the Dolly Parton duet).

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth, that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen. -1 Peter 4:11
We again re-visit another female voice: Brooke Ligertwood (f. lead singer for Hillsong Worship).
“What A Beautiful Name” must have unusual appeal as it has currently been viewed 621 million times on YouTube. The video was recorded in front of 5,000+ worshipers in Sydney, Australia in 2016. Hillsong Worship formed in 1983 at Hillsong Church (Australia). They have placed twelve (12)
albums on the Billboard magazine charts (Christian music), with six reaching #1, received multiple Grammys and GMA Dove Awards. Grace Memorial youth attended a Hillsong Worship concert at the Smoothie King Center on November 6, 2019.

Artist:          Hillsong Worship
CD/Album: Let There Be Light
You were the Word at the Beginning, one with God the Lord most high.
Your hidden glory in Creation, now revealed in You our Christ.
What a beautiful name it is, what a beautiful name it is, the name of Jesus Christ my King.
What a beautiful name it is, nothing compares to this,
What a beautiful name it is, the name of Jesus.

You didn’t want heaven without earth, so Jesus You brought heaven down.
My sin was great, Your love was greater, what could separate us now?
What a wonderful name it is, what a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus Christ my King.
What a wonderful name it is, nothing compares to this,
What a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus.
What a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus.

How sweet is Your name, Lord, how good You are,
Love to sing in the name of the Lord, love to sing for you all.
Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You, You silenced the boast of sin and grave.
The heavens are roaring, the praise of Your glory, for You are raised to life again.
You have no rival, You have no equal, now and forever God You reign.
Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory, Yours is the name above all names.
What a powerful name it is, what a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus Christ my King.
What a powerful name it is, nothing can stand against,
What a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus.

You have no rival, You have no equal, now and forever God You reign.
Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory, Yours is the name above all names.
​
What a powerful name it is, what a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus Christ my King.
What a powerful name it is, nothing can stand against,
What a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus.
What a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus.
What a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus.
