Larue Howard - Great I AM - God Almighty No One Like You Lord Lyrics
Lyrics
I wanna to be close close to your side
So heaven is real and death is a lie
I wanna hear voices of angels above
Singing as one
Hallelujah, holy, holy God almighty,
Great I am, Who is worthy None beside thee
God almighty Great I am (Great I am)
I wanna be near, near to your heart
Loving the world, hating the dark
I want to see dry bones living again
Singing as one
Hallelujah, holy, holy God almighty,
Great I am, Who is worthy None beside thee
God almighty Great I am (Great I am)
He's the great I am, great I am
The mountains shake before him
The demons run and flee
At the mention of the name
King of majesty
There is no power in hell
Or any who can stand
Before the power and the presence of the great I am
The great I am, the great I am
The great I am, the great I am, the great I am
Hallelujah
Holy, holy
God almighty, great I am
Who is worthy
None beside thee
God almighty
Great I am
The mountains shake before him
The demons run and flee
At the mention of the name
King of majesty
There is no power in hell
Or any who can stand
Before the power and the presence of the great I am
The great I am, the great I am
The great I am, the great I am, the great I am
Hallelujah Holy, holy
God almighty, great I am
Who is worthy
None beside thee
God almighty
Great I am
There no one like You, lord Holy
There is no one like you Lord
There is no one like you Lord
There is no one like you Lord
There is no one like you Lord
You are Holy Holy Holy Holy
There is a war going on (because of your prayer)
A war in the heavenly
There is no one like you Lord
You are Holy Holy Holy Holy

Great I Am / There's No One Like You
Meaning & Inspiration
Larue Howard’s "Great I AM - God Almighty No One Like You Lord," released on March 4, 2020, stands as a powerful declaration of faith, weaving together themes of intimacy with God, divine sovereignty, and spiritual victory. The song’s essence lies in a profound yearning for proximity to the Creator, articulated through a desire to be close to His side and near to His heart. This deep longing reflects a biblical truth echoed in James 4:8, which instructs us to draw near to God, and He will draw near to us, fostering a relationship built on genuine connection rather than distant reverence.
At its core, the message of "Great I AM" centers on the unshakeable reality of heaven and the definitive triumph over death, asserting, "heaven is real and death is a lie." This bold statement resonates with the foundational Christian belief in Christ's resurrection and its promise of eternal life, as vividly captured in 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, where death is swallowed up in victory. The longing to hear the united voices of angels singing "Hallelujah, holy, holy God almighty" connects the worshiper to the celestial adoration described in Revelation 4:8, where heavenly beings ceaselessly declare God’s holiness and power. Furthermore, the song beautifully encapsulates a Christ-like compassion for humanity, expressing a desire for "loving the world, hating the dark." This dual sentiment aligns with God's ultimate love for the world, as stated in John 3:16, while simultaneously embracing the call to reject darkness and evil, a theme present in passages like Ephesians 5:8-11, which calls believers to live as children of light.
A pivotal moment in the song’s narrative arrives with the fervent wish to "see dry bones living again," a direct and powerful allusion to Ezekiel 37:1-14. This prophetic vision symbolizes spiritual revival, God's capacity to restore what seems utterly lost, and His power to breathe new life into seemingly dead situations, both individually and collectively. This miracle of resurrection and spiritual renewal underscores the limitless power of the "Great I AM." The repeated proclamation of "Great I AM" anchors the song in divine revelation, directly referencing Exodus 3:14 where God reveals His timeless, self-existent nature to Moses. This name, further echoed in Jesus' "I AM" statements throughout the Gospel of John—such as "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35), "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12), and "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25)—establishes God's eternal presence, ultimate authority, and absolute sufficiency for all needs.
The song powerfully articulates God’s supreme sovereignty and unassailable might, declaring that "The mountains shake before him / The demons run and flee / At the mention of the name / King of majesty." This imagery vividly portrays the overwhelming power of God over creation and all spiritual forces, echoing scriptures like Psalm 97:4-5, which describes mountains melting like wax before the Lord, and Philippians 2:9-11, proclaiming that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow. The lyric, "There is no power in hell / Or any who can stand / Before the power and the presence of the great I am," serves as a staunch reminder of God's unmatched supremacy, reassuring believers that no earthly or demonic force can prevail against Him. This reinforces the biblical truth of God's uniqueness, as stated in Isaiah 45:5, "I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God." The profound acknowledgment that "There is no one like You, Lord" reverberates through the song, cementing the singular, incomparable nature of God Almighty. The repeated emphasis on God's holiness, "Holy, Holy, Holy," aligns with the seraphim's cry in Isaiah 6:3 and the heavenly worship in Revelation 4:8, highlighting His absolute purity and moral perfection. The concluding lines, acknowledging "a war going on (because of your prayer) / A war in the heavenly," offer a poignant reminder of spiritual warfare, as described in Ephesians 6:12, and the critical role of prayer in engaging and prevailing in these unseen battles, underscoring that our intercession matters in the spiritual realm. Through its earnest prayers and declarations, "Great I AM" serves not merely as a song, but as a stirring call to unwavering faith, intimate worship, and confident trust in the unparalleled power and presence of God.
