In Your Eyes
Gate ft. Aloma Steele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A selfish man, a wretch I do stand, just as you we are the same
But how is it that justice follows in Your wake and grace remains?
And grace remains? Your grace remains! Still grace remains!

This is justice for my wickedness with your Son descending
Onto this world bearing our sin
We're helpless in need of Your grace
This freedom is not in our hands
Still Your grace remains

It was not nails that kept You there on that tree
It was not thorns that caused You your pain (fully)
For it was my sin, it was Your burden
It was my sin, it was Your love for me
It was not nails that kept You there on that tree
It was not thorns that caused You your pain (fully)
For it was my sin, it was Your burden
It was my sin, it was Your love for me

Then at the cross You bore my sin
And as You bled You thought of me
And still these bones will cry
Who am I that you would give Your life and die for me?

Not just a myth and not just a story
Becoming my sin and all for His glory
Not just a martyr, not just a saint
He's risen, alive
Death had no restraint!

Bride, arise! And lift up His holy name
Oh yea bride, arise! And life up His name
It was not nails that kept You there on that tree
It was not thorns that caused You your pain (fully)
For it was my sin, it was Your burden
It was my sin, it was Your love for me

Then at the cross You bore my sin
And as You bled You thought of me




And still these bones will cry
Who am I that you would give Your life and die for me?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gate ft. Aloma Steele's song In Your Eyes is a reflection of the singer's understanding of the grace of God. The singer begins by acknowledging their selfish and wicked nature, but questions why justice follows in God's wake while His grace remains. The singer then understands that justice has been served for their wickedness through the descent of God's Son onto the world bearing the burden of sin. The singer acknowledges that they are helpless and in need of God's grace, and that this freedom is not in their hands.


The third verse reveals that it was not the nails or thorns that kept Jesus on the cross, but rather, it was the burden of sin that He bore for the singer's sake. Jesus gave His life out of love, and through His sacrifice, the singer finds hope and redemption. The chorus calls on the bride to arise and lift God's holy name and acknowledges that Jesus is not just a myth or story, but truly died and rose again for the glory of God. The song ends with the singer still unable to comprehend why God would give His life for them, but in awe of His incredible love and grace.
