8 Worship Songs About The Unrivaled God (No One Like You)

We live in a world of comparison. We compare products, people, and experiences. But when it comes to God, comparison breaks down. As Isaiah 40 asks, “To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?”

Worship songs about the unrivaled nature of God are essential because they put everything else in its proper place. When we sing that there is “no one like Him,” we are declaring that no addiction, no fear, and no worldly power is in the same weight class as our King. These anthems restore our awe by reminding us that God has no rival.

Why These Songs Expand Our View

We selected these songs because:

  • They are incomparable. They explicitly use language that separates God from every other created thing (“None like You,” “Above All”).
  • They are lofty. They focus on attributes that only God possesses—omnipotence, holiness, and eternity.
  • They are confident. They don’t ask God to be great; they simply state that He is great.

8 Songs To Declare His Supremacy

  1. Only A Holy God – “Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?” This CityAlight anthem is a masterclass in rhetorical questions. It asks who else can do what God does, forcing the singer to answer, “Only a Holy God.” It builds a massive sense of reverence.
  2. Who Else – “Who else can whisper and darkness trembles?” This song by Gateway Worship creates a stark contrast between the idols of the world and the power of Jesus. It is a triumphant declaration that Jesus stands alone in His ability to save and heal.
  3. What An Awesome God – “There is no one like You.” Sometimes the simplest statements are the most powerful. This song by Maverick City Music is a repetitive, meditative cry of awe. It allows the congregation to just sit in the reality of God’s uniqueness.
  4. Name Above All Names – “The Name that heals… the Name that saves.” Charity Gayle’s track elevates the name of Jesus above every other title. It reminds us that cancer, depression, and debt all have names, but Jesus is the Name above them all.
  5. No One Like The Lord (We Crown You) – “We crown You Lord of all.” This song is a coronation ceremony. It acknowledges that while there are many “lords” in our culture competing for our attention, there is only one true Lord who deserves the crown.
  6. How Great Is Our God – “The Godhead three in one.” This classic anthem is sung in millions of churches for a reason. It is a comprehensive theology of God’s greatness, wrapping the Trinity, creation, and redemption into a single chorus of praise.
  7. Above All – “Crucified, laid behind the stone.” This song takes a different approach. It lists all the things Jesus is “above”—wealth, wisdom, kingdoms—and then shockingly contrasts that high status with His lowly death on the cross.
  8. How Great Thou Art – “Then sings my soul.” You cannot talk about the greatness of God without this hymn. It moves from the grandeur of the universe (“worlds Thy hands have made”) to the intimacy of the cross, concluding that He is truly unrivaled.

How To Use These Songs In Your Church

  • The “Comparison” Challenge. Before singing Who Else, ask the room: “What are you comparing God to? A doctor’s report? A bank account?” Remind them that those things are created; He is the Creator.
  • Use “Only A Holy God” for Call to Worship. This song works exceptionally well as the very first song. The rhetorical questions (“Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?”) wake up the congregation’s mind and set a high theological bar for the service.
  • Read Isaiah 40. The “To whom will you compare me?” passage is the perfect scripture reading to bridge How Great Is Our God into the sermon.

Next Steps

We often treat God like He is just a “better version” of us. This Sunday, use Only A Holy God to remind your church that He is not just better; He is other. He is in a category of one.
