For Christ Alone

Built around a single confession, this worship song keeps returning to the figure who "stands between God and man" — crucified, then raised, and now the one to whom every life belongs. The verses lean on ransom and atonement language, describing a Lamb whose scars intercede and a Son of man exalted as High King, so the imagery stays close to the priestly and sacrificial threads of the New Testament rather than reaching for abstract devotion. The chorus turns that confession into a pledge: lives laid down for Christ alone, for this gospel, until the end of time. The bridge shifts into a declarative, almost confrontational register, pairing the promise that every eye will see and every knee bow with a blunt dismissal of idols as lifeless lies, then closing on the crowned One who is coming back on a cloud. The repetition of "eyes will see and knees will bow" gives the bridge a gathering momentum, as if the congregation is being pulled toward that final bow. It's a song about exclusive allegiance — the repeated "alone" does the heavy lifting — and it ends not on a warm feeling but on a crown and a return.
