Bridge
Who else can 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 on the water? (No one, no one, no one)
And who else can 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)
And who else can silence the roar of the lion? (No one, no one, no one)
Who else is worthy, worthy of worship? (No one, no one, no one)
Who else is worthy, worthy of worship? (No one)

No one nowhere, no one nowhere
No one nowhere, no one nowhere
No one nowhere, no one nowhere
Nobody like You, nobody like You
No one nowhere, no one nowhere
Chorus
And there will be no other god before You
There will be no other god before You
And there is no one above You, no one beside You, and nobody like You
There is no one above You, no one beside You, and nobody like You
There is no one above You, no one beside You, and nobody like You
And there will be no other god before You
No one, no one, no one

Meaning & Inspiration
Elevation Worship's "No One," released as part of their 2020 album *Graves into Gardens (Deluxe)*, stands as a powerful declaration of God's singular majesty and unmatched power. The song's essence is rooted in the profound theological truth that Yahweh, the covenant name of God, is utterly unique and without peer. This lyrical focus directly echoes the foundational commandment found in Exodus 20:3, which declares, "You shall have no other gods before me," a sentiment reinforced throughout Scripture, such as in Deuteronomy 6:4, the Shema, which proclaims, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." The repetitive, almost incantatory invocation of "Yahweh" serves to hallow the divine name, aligning with the reverence called for in the Third Commandment (Exodus 20:7), that one should not take the Lord's name in vain. The song’s exploration of God’s unparalleled nature is particularly evident in its bridge, which poses a series of rhetorical questions highlighting His unique capabilities: leading to freedom, healing sins and diseases, walking on water, answering by fire, defeating giants, and silencing roaring lions. These powerful affirmations directly draw from a rich tapestry of biblical narratives, recalling Moses leading Israel out of Egypt (Exodus), Jesus' miraculous healing of the sick and casting out demons (Matthew 8, Mark 5), His ability to calm the storm and walk on water (Mark 4), Elijah’s encounter with God on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18), David’s victory over Goliath (1 Samuel 17), and Daniel's deliverance from the lions' den (Daniel 6). By posing these questions and answering them with the emphatic refrain of "No one," Elevation Worship drives home the exclusivity of God's divine authority and redemptive power. The overarching message is a call to unwavering allegiance and worship, recognizing that there is absolutely no one who can compare to the Creator, making Him the sole object worthy of ultimate devotion.
