Revered lyricist, vocalist and worship leader Jenn Johnson helms an extraordinary moment of worship on her new song, “No One Like the Lord.” The slow-burning live recording starts with simple guitar and strings and builds to a holy crescendo as Johnson paints a picture of what eternity might look like, while exalting the only One worthy of our unending praise. Her combined passion, grit and reverence make way for a regal coronation, led by her signature alto.
“When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it,” she shares. “It feels like a song we will sing in heaven...and those are my favorite songs — eternal, singing of the glory, majesty and splendor of God.”
The lyrics bring to mind Jeremiah 10:6-7, which says, “Lord, there is no one like you! For you are great, and your name is full of power. Who would not fear you, O King of nations? That title belongs to you alone! Among all the wise people of the earth and in all the kingdoms of the world, there is no one like you.”
YWAM (Youth With A Mission) worship leader Lindy Cofer and the Circuit Riders, a worship collective based in Southern California, developed the song initially. Johnson worked with Cofer and the other original co-writers — Aliyah Stamper, Eniola Abioye, Jonathan Stamper and Nathan Carter — to create her own, unique version. Since releasing it last summer, Johnson has been performing “No One Like the Lord” on stages across the country to wild acclaim.
The mother of five has helped author some of modern worship’s biggest anthems, including “Holy Forever” and “Goodness of God.” Johnson has also become an in-demand collaborator contributing guest vocals on a number of significant singles. The California native partnered with Brandon Lake on “Too Good To Not Believe.” She harmonized with Tauren Wells on “Famous For (I Believe),” and she sang notable background vocals on Josh Baldwin’s “Made For More.”
Additionally, Johnson was recently nominated for a GRAMMY® alongside powerhouse CeCe Winans for the pair’s rendition of “Holy Forever.”
