Lyrics
Every eye shall see
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
To the glory of God
That Jesus is Lord
He is Lord, He is Lord
Every eye shall see
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
To the glory of God
That Jesus is Lord
He is Lord, He is Lord
Every eye shall see
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
To the glory of God
That Jesus is Lord
He is Lord, He is Lord
Everybody sing
Every eye shall see
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
To the glory of God
That Jesus is Lord
He is Lord, He is Lord
He is Lord

Gaither Vocal Band - Every Eye Shall See
Meaning & Inspiration
Gaither Vocal Band’s "Every Eye Shall See," released on September 1, 2019, presents a powerful and unapologetic declaration of Christian truth, anchoring its message in the ultimate sovereignty of Jesus Christ. The song’s strength lies not in intricate musicality, but in its direct and unyielding focus on a future reality described with profound scriptural weight. Its purpose is to proclaim a divinely ordained event where all creation will acknowledge the lordship of Jesus. The repetitive, almost liturgical structure of the chorus ("Every eye shall see, Every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall confess, To the glory of God, That Jesus is Lord") serves to embed this core belief deep within the listener, mirroring the certainty of the prophecy it foretells.
The lyrical content draws directly from foundational biblical prophecies concerning the Second Coming of Christ and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. The phrase "Every eye shall see" echoes the vision described by the Apostle John in Revelation 1:7, "Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the land will wail on account of him." Similarly, the declaration "Every knee shall bow" directly references passages like Philippians 2:10-11, which states, "so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." This deliberate mirroring of Scripture underscores the song's intent: to serve as a reminder and anticipatory affirmation of a future, undeniable truth. The emphasis on "every tongue shall confess" further solidifies this universal recognition, leaving no room for doubt or alternative allegiances in the face of divine authority. The repeated refrain, "He is Lord," is not merely an assertion but a triumphant proclamation, reinforcing the absolute power and ultimate reign of Christ. The invitation to "Everybody sing" is a call to participate in this worship, uniting voices in agreement with God’s revealed truth and preparing hearts for the glorious reality it depicts.
