8 Worship Songs To Declare God’s Supremacy (No One Like You)

We live in a world of many gods. They may not look like golden statues, but money, power, comfort, and self-image constantly vie for the throne of our hearts. Worship is the act of dethroning these lesser gods and declaring that there is only one true King.

Scripture is filled with the rhetorical question: “Who is like the Lord?” The answer, of course, is “No one.” Songs about God’s supremacy remind the church that He is not just a better option; He is the only option. These anthems help us dismantle our idols and give God the exclusive glory He deserves.

Why These Songs Dismantle Idols

We selected these songs because:

  • They are comparative. They explicitly compare God to other powers and declare Him superior (“No rival,” “Above all”).
  • They are transcendent. They focus on His holiness, reminding us that He is in a category all by Himself.
  • They are jealous. They express a desire for God alone, rejecting all substitutes.

8 Songs To Exalt The Unrivaled King

  1. No One Like The Lord (We Crown You) – This song is a coronation ceremony. It systematically lists the powers of this world and declares that none compare to Yahweh. It is a powerful way to open a service with a clear statement of allegiance.
  2. Who Else – “Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?” This song uses a question-and-answer format to build a case for God’s supremacy. It leads the congregation to the logical and emotional conclusion that Jesus is the only One worthy of worship.
  3. What A Beautiful Name – The bridge of this song is a war cry against idolatry: “You have no rival, You have no equal.” It reminds the church that Jesus doesn’t compete for the throne; He owns it.
  4. Only A Holy God – This modern hymn highlights the uniqueness of God. It asks, “Who else calls the sun to rise?” and answers that only a holy God can do these things. It invites the church to marvel at His distinction.
  5. Above All – A classic that still carries weight. It lists the things humanity values—wealth, wisdom, power—and declares that Jesus is above them all, yet chose to be crucified. It connects supremacy with humility.
  6. How Great Is Our God – “Name above all names.” This song unites the room in a simple, profound declaration of God’s greatness. It works because it doesn’t just say God is great; it asks, “How great?” and lets the heart answer.
  7. Build My Life – The first verse is a litany of praise: “Worthy of every song… worthy of all the breath we could ever breathe.” It establishes that no one else deserves our affection or our obedience.
  8. Agnus Dei – “For the Lord God Almighty reigns.” This song centers on the sovereignty of the Lamb. It reminds us that while earthly kings come and go, the reign of God is eternal and interrupted.

How To Use These Songs In Your Church

  • Identify the idols. Before singing Above All, challenge your congregation to identify what they have placed above Jesus this week—career, reputation, or comfort—and lay it down.
  • Read Isaiah 40. “To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” This chapter is the biblical foundation for God’s supremacy and sets the perfect tone for these songs.
  • Focus on the Name. When singing What A Beautiful Name, encourage the church to sing the name of Jesus louder than any other lyric. Make the Name the climax of the service.

Next Steps

Is your church distracted by politics or culture? This Sunday, use No One Like The Lord to realign their allegiance, reminding them that there is only one Throne that matters.
