A God Like You
Kirk Franklin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want power and praise like you but
See there is no God like our God
There's no one like
Who gave their life like you and
Who paid a price like you see
There's only one God that's our God
There's no one like you
Who can touch like you
Or heal us like you do
We stumble and we stray
Till you always get us through
Who makes all things new
And comes to our rescue
Death, hell, and the grave
They could not conquer
You became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was deeply
Wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see
Everybody wanna be like you they
Want power and praise like you but
See there is no God like our God
There's no one like
Who gave their life like you and
Who paid a price like you see
There's only one God that's our God
There's no one like you
Some may worship things
But what joy do they bring
They try and hide the stains
But can they set us free
See where would we be
Without Calvary
A king upon a tree
So the whole world can see
You became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was
Deeply wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see
Everybody wanna be like you they
Want power and praise like you but
See there is no God like our God
There's no one like
Who gave their life like you and
Who paid a price like you see
There's only one God that's our God
There's no one like you
[Repeat: x2]
Healer, father, savior
Counselor, friend, provider
Was is and forever
That's why I just wanna be where you are
I'll travel life with you no matter how far
Became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was
Deeply wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see
Everybody wanna be like you they
Want power and praise like you but
See there is no God like our God
There's no one like
Who gave their life like you and
Who paid a price like you see
There's only one God that's our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
The lyrics of Kirk Franklin's song "A God Like You" are a declaration of God's greatness and a contrast to the worldly desire for power and praise. The repetition of the phrase "Everybody wanna be like you" emphasizes the ubiquity of this human desire, which can be seen in the way people worship material things or pursue worldly ambitions. However, the song acknowledges that there is no one like God, who not only sacrificed his life for us but also offers healing and redemption. The lyrics also mention the victory over death and the grave, affirming the power and sovereignty of God.
The chorus repeats the idea that there is no one like God, emphasizing his roles as healer, father, savior, counselor, friend, and provider. The final verse discusses the significance of the crucifixion, highlighting how it shows the whole world that Jesus is the king. The overall message of the song is a reminder that there is no substitute for God's love and power, and we should seek to follow him rather than worldly pursuits.

Everybody wanna be like you they
Want power and praise like you but
See there is no God like our God
There's no one like
Who gave their life like you and
Who paid a price like you see
There's only one God that's our God
There's no one like you
Many want to imitate you and have the same status and recognition as you, but there is no other god like our God. No one else can sacrifice their life for us like you did. There is only one true God and no one compares to Him.
Who can touch like you
Or heal us like you do
We stumble and we stray
Till you always get us through
Who makes all things new
And comes to our rescue
Death, hell, and the grave
They could not conquer
Only you, our God, have the power to touch us and heal us like no one else can. We often walk away from your guidance, but you never let us down and always bring us back to the right path. You make all things new and save us from the clutches of death, hell, and the grave.
You became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was deeply
Wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see
You, our God, came down to our level, as a human, to break our chains and set us free. You saved me, who was once captive and did not even know the extent of my wounds.
Some may worship things
But what joy do they bring
They try and hide the stains
But can they set us free
See where would we be
Without Calvary
A king upon a tree
So the whole world can see
Some may worship material possessions, but they cannot bring true joy or cleanse us of our sins. Only you, our God, can free us from these chains. Without the crucifixion at Calvary, we would not have a king on a tree to be seen by the whole world.
[Repeat: x2]
Healer, father, savior
Counselor, friend, provider
Was is and forever
That's why I just wanna be where you are
I'll travel life with you no matter how far
You, our God, are our healer, father, savior, counselor, friend, and provider forever. That's why I want to be wherever you are and journey through life with you, no matter how far.
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
There's no one like you, there's no God like our God
There's no one like you
Repeatedly, we acknowledge that there is no one like you, our God. No one compares to your power, wisdom, and love for us.
