In God Alone by J.O.E.Y — Lyrics
About In God Alone
"In God Alone" is a deeply moving choral prayer of absolute trust and surrender. Written by J.O.E.Y, the piece carries a profound weight, originally dedicated on the score to the souls of departed brothers and sisters who lost their lives to xenophobic violence in South Africa. It speaks from a place of sorrow and vulnerability, yet its words are anchored entirely in divine hope, declaring God as life's beginning, end, and ultimate refuge.
The melody flows with a gentle, comforting solemnity. As the choir sings through lines like "Though darkness may behold me, I know God you are with me," the harmony parts weave together to create a sense of steadfast assurance in the face of fear. It is a beautiful, poignant choice for funerals, memorial Masses, or any moment of reflection where the congregation needs to be reminded that even when hands are empty and tears fall, God remains our true strength and resting place.
