Gaither Vocal Band - Every Eye Shall See Lyrics

“Every Eye Shall See” builds its entire proclamation from concise biblical declarations about the lordship of Jesus. The repeated sequence moves from universal sight to universal submission and confession: every eye sees, every knee bows, and every tongue acknowledges that Jesus is Lord. Because the wording returns several times with little variation, the song functions like a congregational creed. The invitation for everybody to sing reinforces its public character, presenting Christ’s glory as a truth meant to be confessed openly rather than held privately.

The lyric joins imagery found in Revelation with Paul’s language in Philippians. Revelation looks toward Christ’s appearing before every eye, while Philippians describes every knee bowing and every tongue confessing his lordship to the glory of God the Father. Placed together, these lines focus attention on the universal scope of Christ’s authority. The closing repetitions of “He is Lord” provide a firm resolution, turning expectation of his appearing into present praise and allegiance.
