Lyrics
Verse 1
I climbed up to the highest mountain
I looked all around, couldn't find nobody
Went down into the deepest valley
Looked all around down there, couldn't find nobody
I went across the deep blue sea
Couldn't find one to compare to your grace, your love, your mercy
Nobody greater nobody greater than you
Chorus
Searched all over couldn't find nobody
I looked high and low still couldn't find nobody
Nobody greater, nobody greater, nobody greater than you
Verse 2
Nobody can heal like you can
Oh most holy one you are the Great I Am
Awesome in all your ways and mighty is your hand
You are He who carried out redemption's plan
You are He who carried out redemption's plan
Chorus
Searched all over couldn't find nobody
I looked high and low still couldn't find nobody
Nobody greater, nobody greater, nobody greater than you
Outro
Nobody greater, nobody greater, nobody greater than you
Nobody greater, nobody greater, nobody greater than you

Meaning & Inspiration
“Nobody Greater Than You (Searched All Over)” by Vashawn Mitchell is built on a search that ends in praise. The singer climbs the highest mountain, goes down into the deepest valley, and crosses the deep blue sea, looking each time for anyone to compare with God’s grace, love, and mercy. The answer is the same everywhere: “Nobody greater than you.”
The second verse turns from search to description. God is the one who heals, the most holy one, the Great I Am, awesome in all His ways, with a mighty hand, and the One who carried out redemption’s plan. The repeated chorus, “Searched all over couldn’t find nobody,” works as a testimony that nothing else measures up.
The comparison is close to Isaiah 40:25 and Psalm 86:8, which ask who is like the Lord, while the Great I Am recalls Exodus 3:14 and the redemption line points to Ephesians 1:7. The song is a straightforward declaration of God’s uniqueness.
