The band Bluetree, from Belfast Ireland was in Thailand (sex capital of the world) on a mission trip or something and they were able to play in the bar of brothel and sing their songs if they brought a bunch of their Christian friends who would buy a lot of coca cola from the bar. While the lead singer was singing to the crowd he became inspired, and the lyrics for the song came to him.
After hearing this song I've been thinking more seriously about how as a Christian I have a responsibility to show people through my actions that there is really no one and no other "god" like our God. He is charge of everything, and I need to let him lead my life. I realize that I've been having trouble all my life handing over the reins to him, because I'm afraid he'll tell me not to do, say, or watch things we both know I shouldn't. So, I'm going to try to let him lead for a change.

BLUE TREE - GOD OF THIS CITY LYRICS:
You're the God of this city,
You're the King of these people,
You're the Lord of this nation,
You Are.
You're the Light of this darkness,
You're the Hope to the hopeless,
You're the Peace to the restless,
You Are.
For there is no one like our God.
There is no one like you, God.
Greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done, in this city.
Greater things are yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done here.
You're the Lord of Creation,
The Creator of all things,
You're the King above all Kings,
You Are.
You're the Strength in our weakness,
You're the Love to the broken,
You're the Joy in the sadness
You Are.
For there is no one like our God.
There is no one like you, God.
Greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done, in this city.
Where glory shines from hearts alive,
With praise for you and love for you, in this city.
Greater things have yet to come,
Greater things are still to be done, in this city.
Greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done here.
There is no one like our God.
There is no one like our God.
Yes, there is no one like you, God.
There is no one like you, God.
Greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done, in this city.
Where glory shines from hearts alive,
With praise for you and love for you, in this city.
Greater things have yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done, in this city.
Greater things are yet to come,
And greater things are still to be done here.
Still to be done here.
Still to be done here.
Still to be done here.
