Nothin' like him

Nothin' Like him

Spinning tires make me cry

Gravel dust clouds my eye

Front of church he speeds away

Momma bows her head to pray

I’m here Momma

And I’m nothin’ like him

No, I ain’t nothing like him

Daddy will come to church one day

you’ll see; Momma would pray.

Five year old ears hear preachers preachin'…

He carried the cross up hill

With the world on His shoulders.

He loved us still

Even though our hearts were colder

And He loves us still

Teacher's trying to teach us

Do you want to know Jesus?

 

Well, you had me 'til, you called him Father

Now no thanks, don’t think I’ll bother

 

Cuz mines nothing like Him

No, Dad’s nothing like Him.

You say,

 

He carried the cross up hill

With the world on His shoulders.

He loved us still

Even though our hearts were colder

And He loves us still?

That day I ran away,

Against mama’s prayers and preachers preachin’

I carried my cross up hill

With the world on my shoulders

I’ve run until

My hearts gotten colder

He couldn’t’ love me still?

No, He wouldn’t love me still.

I knew some day

I’d come back and say

I’m nothing like him

No I ain’t nothing like him

I pulled up in church drive,

watched that old man of mine.

He carried Mama’s cross up hill

With the world on his shoulders

He loves her still

But he just never ever told her

And she loved him still

Both our hearts bleeding

both our hearts needing

 

I noticed then

I'm just like him.

Yeah, I’m just like him

Spinning tires make me cry

Gravel dust clouds my eyes

As we slide into church

Two men kneeling and praying

To the One who…

Carried the cross up hill

With the world on His shoulders.

He loved us still

Even though our hearts were colder

And He loves us still

Yeah, He loves us still…

Now no longer alone

With a boy of my own

Can you tell me about Jesus?

Daddy can God really see us?

I think about Jesus, and how He’s freed us

God loves you like no other, think of your Grandfather

He’s something like him.

Yeah, He’s something like him.
