Lyrics
There's no question of you're greatness
No searching of your power
All the wonder of your glory
To you forty years is but one hour
Your knowledge is all encompassing
To your wisdom there is no end
Oh for you alone are God
You are God alone
Your mercy is everlasting
Your truth is here always
You are he who was and is and is to come
Who is he that can number your days
You flung the sun to burn in space and the night's moon bounce light from day
Oh you alone you're God, you're God,
Elohim, you're everything I need
You are God alone
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible
The only wise God, the only wise God
The only wise god
For you alone are God
No one else compares to you Lord
For you are God alone
You alone
For you alone are God
You are everything that I needed
For you are God alone
Be all glory and honor
Dominion and power
Forever and ever
Amen
For you alone are God
You are God alone
(You're my Jehovah Jireh)
(You're my Jehovah Nissi)
(You're my Jehovah Elyon)
You alone are God
You are God alone

Meaning & Inspiration
The song centers on the unmatched greatness, wisdom, mercy, and eternal rule of God. Its opening lines move from divine power and glory to knowledge without limit, presenting worship as a response to attributes that no created being can equal. Images of the sun burning in space and moonlight reflecting across the night widen the focus to creation, while the recurring declaration of God alone rejects every possible rival.
A later section closely quotes the praise of 1 Timothy 1:17 by naming the King eternal, immortal, invisible, and uniquely wise. The lyric also echoes Revelation 1:8 through its confession of the One who was, is, and is to come. Mercy, truth, dominion, and honor gather into a doxology that ends with amen. Even the covenant names near the close serve the main theme: every need, victory, and place of refuge rests in the one God. The result is sustained adoration grounded in divine character rather than changing circumstances.
