You Alone

Time spent with God is the joy at the center of "You Alone." Planetshakers begin with "my greatest joy is within Your presence, where the love You gave saved me," and add that "my most treasured times are in the stillness, where Your loving arms hold me." The joy of being in God's presence is the idea in Psalm 16:11, and stillness recalls Psalm 46:10.

The chorus is a desire turned into a vow: "You're all I want, You are all I search for, it is You I've always longed for." The singer's response is plain, "God, I come to be here with You, to be here for You and You alone. I worship You with my heart and soul, everything I give to You alone."

The closing section widens from the individual to everything created. "All creation sings Your praises, crowns You Lord of all, kings and rulers bow before You, hail You Lord of lords." That phrase matches Revelation 19:16, and the bowing resembles Philippians 2:10. At fewer than 500 characters, the lyric is short and moves from a quiet personal moment to a large throne scene.
