In his new single, "Nothing Like The Father's Love," Alex Young And Friends sing about the constant factor in our lives, God's love! The song was written together with Sam Heilig and Steve Davis, and is essentially a simple reminder that God's love for us doesn't fluctuate with our feelings or behavior (thankfully!).
The song starts with a small admission: "Father, I've had better days // If I wrote down all my failures there'd be ink on every page." These words, words that could also have easily been my own, introduce the main theme of the song. "But Your endless mercy and boundless grace // cover me time and time again," and as if that isn't enough… "Nothing compares to this love that I've found in You // It's simple and so true // There's nothing like the Father's love for me." It doesn't matter how tough our days are or how our emotions fluctuate! God's mercy and grace are always there to cover us… if you let Him!
This is such a comforting message, and it is one that is easily pushed to the background as we go through our daily routines and manage our way through the chaos of life. It's songs like this one that help us to remember, "Don't let me forget it // There's nothing like the Father's love for me," and "There's nothing as sweet, nothing as sound, nothing as sure // There's nothing as real, nothing as wild, nothing as powerful."
Do you sometimes feel as if your failures define you? With God in your court, they don't have to! Go ahead and take a moment to listen to "Nothing Like The Father's Love." May this song remind you to let God's love into your life and give you strength to face each day with power and confidence.
