Ray Boltz's song 'For Only One' reflects on the profound truth that Jesus's sacrifice was for every individual, even if that person were the only one. The lyrics tell of a simple church service where only one person responds to the altar call, and the song emphasizes that Christ would have died for that single soul. It encourages listeners not to hesitate to come to Jesus, even if they feel alone in their decision. The song highlights God's immense personal love and the value of each person, drawing on the message of John 3:16.

A simple gospel message
In a little church one day
Touched the heart of one
Who listened
As the congregation prayed
There'd been an invitation
Inviting all to come
But kneeling down to pray
Was only one
For only one
He would have suffered
And given up His life
For only one
He'd have borne the shame
And made the sacrifice
For God so loved the whole world
He gave His only Son
But I believe
He'd have done the same
For only one
Now some may say, why bother
With only one or two?
But Jesus knows the feeling
When the only one is you
So if you hear Him calling
Don't be ashamed to come
Even if you're the only one
For only one
He would have died for only one
You are the one
