This favorite Sunday school song proclaims there is no one like Jesus Christ. The repetitive phrase—“No, not one”—emphasizes this and encourages to join in this simple proclamation. In times of stress and loneliness—in times when we need God most—these simple words can minister and encourage us today.

Sometimes the strongest messages come out simple, child-like music. “Jesus loves me, this I know…” “No, Not One” is another of these simple messages that we can use to come to God with child-like faith. While simple messages, the deep meaning gives us strength to persevere through any challenge thrown at us.

Read the words of this lyric.

Verse 1
There's not a friend Like the lowly Jesus No not one no not one
None else could heal All our souls' diseases No not one no not one

Chorus 1
Jesus knows all About our struggles He will guide Till the day is done
There's not a friend Like the lowly Jesus No not one no not one

Verse 2
No friend like Him Is so high and holy No not one no not one
And yet no friend Is so meek and lowly No not one no not one

Verse 3
There's not an hour That He is not near us No not one no not one
No night so dark But His love can cheer us No not one no not one

Verse 4
Did ever saint Find this Friend forsake Him No not one no not one
Or sinner find That He would not take Him No not one no not one

Verse 5
Was e'er a gift Like the Savior given No not one no not one
Will He refuse us A home in heaven No not one no not one

There is no one like Jesus Christ. Plain and simple. There is no one! He heals us, helps us in our struggles, is high and almighty, yet humble and knows us, is always with us, never forsakes us, and is the ultimate gift.

Do you need encouragement today? Let these words encourage you in reminding you that there is no other like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

No! Not one!   No! Not one!
