On Earth and in Heaven
There’s no King like You
Fearful in Praise, our Advocate
Our Help in days of Trouble
Always going before Us

Your name is Lifted High
My Father’s name is Highly Exalted
None Compare to the Lion

Hossana, You’re Worthy of Praise
You Endowed the Heaven with Gold
You Delivered me
From the Enemies of my Life
Thank You, there’s no King like You

My Defender, the Greatest King
Healer, who does what he Says
Full of Honor, Honor in Abundance
Great in Honor, Full of Mystery
I Bow to the King of Glory
Hail the King of my Life
Thank You, there’s no King like You
None Compare to the Lion
That Dealt with Pharaoh
Hossana, You’re Worthy of Praise
You Endowed the Heaven with Gold
You Delivered me
From the Enemies of my Life
Thank You, there’s no King like You

Meaning & Inspiration
Ko SOba Bire is a sustained declaration that no ruler compares with God. Its Yoruba lines and English translation name him as defender, help in trouble, healer, King of Glory, and deliverer from enemies. The repeated answer that there is no king like him gives the song a communal praise pattern: each description returns to the same confession of divine uniqueness. References to Pharaoh also place present thanksgiving beside the biblical memory of Gods victory over oppression.
Exodus 15:11 closely matches the central claim by asking who among all powers is like the Lord, majestic in holiness and awesome in glory. Psalm 46:1 also supports the songs description of God as dependable help in days of trouble. The lyrics move between awe and gratitude, praising both Gods unmatched majesty and his active care. Their royal language does not leave God distant; the greatest King is also portrayed as advocate, healer, guide, and personal defender. Praise follows because his authority is joined to deliverance and faithful help.
