Above All / There Is None Like You
Song Meaning
Don Moen's "Above All / There Is None Like You" (featuring Lenny LeBlanc) pairs two of the most recorded worship songs of the 1990s into one continuous piece. "Above all" leans on Paul's description of Christ in Colossians — that He is before all things, and all things hold together in Him — and stretches that claim across an entire list: above all powers, kingdoms, wisdom, wealth.
What keeps the song from becoming abstract is its refusal to separate that cosmic scale from the cross: "you were crucified and laid behind a stone... like a rose trampled on the ground, You took the fall and thought of me." The song insists the same Christ who existed before creation is the one who specifically thought of the singer while dying.
"There Is None Like You" shifts from theological claim to direct address: "no one else can touch my heart like You do, and I could search for all eternity, Lord, and find, there is none like You." "Your mercy flows like a river so wide, healing comes from Your hand, and suffering children are safe in Your arms" grounds that uniqueness in tenderness rather than only majesty — both halves of the medley making essentially the same claim from opposite directions.
[Above All]
You were crucified
And laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began
Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth
You were crucified
And laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
[There Is None Like You]
There is none like You
No one else can touch my heart like You do
And I could search for all eternity, Lord
And find, there is none like You
Oh. There is none like You
No one else can touch my heart like You do
Oh. And I could search, I could search for all eternity, Lord
And find, there is none like You
Your mercy flows like a river so wide
Healing comes from Your hand
And suffering children are safe in Your arms
There is none like You
Oh. There is none like You
There is none like You
There's just no one
No one else can touch my heart like You do
And I could search, I could search for all eternity, Lord
And find, there is none like You
Oh. I could search for all eternity, Lord
And find, there is none, there is none
There is none, there is none
There is none like You
None like You
There is none like You
There is none like You, God
None can touch my heart
Not this faithful
And not as true
There is just none like You
