Not Alone
Legin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the beginning, God in community says "let us"
Made man in our image, creates life from dust
From His lips existence was stitched from His mumblings
He said its finished but He still wasn't done with us
You're, not alone
Never left behind, no child is, tears in my eyes as I write this
Penning lines of enlightenment hoping to criticize the indictment
Of the Accuser who says to the Created "Did God say?"
Yes He did, we are not alone
We are the God owned, God alone makes it plain
Cross stained, narrow gate
Eliminate the sinner's fate by switching place
Crooked path, get it straight
The ill-fated inundated with His amazing grace
We are the canvas on which the Ancient of Day's paints His story
The framework He uses to get His glory
One portrait full of different hues of the redeemed
Crying holy holy holy
And not alone
Unified, now everyone I go I see my bloodline
Every culture, color, Jews & gentile, sisters and brothers
A family like no other
White, black, theologian, businessman, b-boy
Reaching out to the elite and the d-boy
And want you with us
Be encouraged when you really see your family tree
Resources aren't limited, you've got more family to meet
When we lock arms in Christ it shifts eternity
One Body, One Spirit, One God we please
Our mission is the greatest collective endeavor ever
We can do less apart but it's limitless together
What we do in this time impacts forever
Loving those Who don't know Him as they turn to confessors
You aren't just an outreach, but an outpost of Heaven
We aren't just a church we are Who the King dwells in
Cultures change, empires bend knees as God steps in
And this is just what happens cause we're connected
Don't ever think that you're alone, I beseech you brethren
Through the Ages the Church has stood on the Rock for shelter
Despite every storm and wind that's come against to test us
When the Son brings His reign we're not disturbed with weather
Every person in ministry, everyone tired
Fighting the good fight, at some point felt uninspired
Know that our God is a consuming fire/
Whatever embers you have He will blow new life comes
You've got family praying for you globally
Locking arms in the spirit
Say the Church of Christ will prevail and Satan can't come near it
Shout from the rooftops and we just pray he hear it
Did God say? Yes He did
You are not alone
I will never forsake you or leave so I will never grieve
He bled for me so therefore I will forever cleave
To the King who gave all for me, and you, and us, together
My family, my God, His spirit, we're wedded




He sees us, I AM that I AM will never leave us
We Are Not Alone

Overall Meaning

The song "Not Alone" by Legin speaks of the fundamental human need for companionship and community, which is fulfilled in the love and grace of God. The lyrics describe God's power and creative nature, as well as the idea that all humans are made in God's image. This theme is reinforced throughout the song, with references to the diverse and unified family of God and the importance of being part of this community. The song also addresses the doubts and temptations that come from the enemy's lies and reminds listeners of God's promise to never leave our side.


The opening lines of the song focus on God's power and creative ability. The creation narrative is referred to with the phrase "made man in our image, creates life from dust," and the power of God's words in establishing existence is emphasized with the line "From His lips existence was stitched from His mumblings." Despite God's completion of creation, the lyrics suggest that God wasn't done with us and continues to work in and through us.


The song then goes on to address the lies that the enemy might use to try to separate us from God and the community of believers. The line "Of the Accuser who says to the Created 'Did God say?'" references the serpent's temptation of Eve in the garden, while "we are not alone" is a direct refutation of the lie that we are isolated and unimportant. The chorus repeats this idea, emphasizing that we are never left behind and that tears come to the eyes of the songwriter as they remind us of this truth.
