Bridge
Who else can lead us, lead us to freedom?
(No one, no one, no one)
Who else can heal all our sins and diseases?
(No one, no one, no one)
Who else can walk, walk on the water?
(No one, no one, no one)
And who else can answer, answer by fire?
(No one, no one, no one)
And who else can bring down the tallest of giants?
(No one, no one, no one)
Ayy, and who else can silence the roar of the lion?
(No one, no one, no one)
And who else is worthy, worthy of worship?
(No one, no one, no one)
Who else is worthy, worthy of worship?

There will be no other God before You
(You're the first and the last)
There will be no other God before You
(No other God before You)
There is no one above You, no one beside You
And nobody like You (Nobody like You)
There is no one above You, no one beside You
And nobody like You (Nobody like You)
There is no one above You, no one beside You
And nobody like You (Nobody like You)
There will be no other God before You

No one, no one, no one
Nobody greater, nobody higher
No one, no one, no one
Nobody greater, nobody higher
No one, no one, no one

Meaning & Inspiration

Yahweh centers on the holiness and unrivaled authority of God. The repeated confession that no other God comes before him closely follows the command against rival gods, while the concern about taking the divine name in vain adds a second note of reverence. Its refrain moves beyond abstract praise by naming God as incomparable: none stands above him, beside him, or equal to him. That repetition gives the song the character of a public declaration of allegiance.

The bridge gathers biblical images of divine rescue and victory, including freedom, healing, walking on water, answering by fire, overcoming giants, and silencing lions. These scenes point cautiously toward several scriptural accounts rather than a single narrative. Together they support the central claim that God alone is worthy of worship. The lyric therefore joins adoration with remembrance, grounding its praise in acts associated with God’s power, mercy, and deliverance.
