Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matt Redman's song "On And On" are a powerful celebration of the Lord's greatness and singularity. The repeated refrain of "Hallelujah, there will be no other" reinforces the idea that there is only one true God, and that He is worthy of endless praise.


The verses describe the scope of this praise, which will be heard "in the north and in the south" and "in every corner of the globe." It will be sung by "the weak and the strong," "the young and the old." This all-encompassing song of worship will continue "on and on" without end.


The second half of the song reiterates the idea that this praise is for the Lord alone. "There will be no other but You." The song encourages us to "Let it be heard/ Let it be sung/ Let it be known/ Around the world." The message is clear: God is great and deserving of our unending praise, and we should share this message with the world.
