Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lord—You once said, “If I can find just one righteous one—I’ll spare this broken land” You walked the streets looking—with mercy in Your hand You searched every hidden heart Looking for just one—just one counted faithful—to stand and do their part. But then— hope ran thin—finding none righteous within— Ohhh—that’s when—Grace stepped in! Oh there were many—who claimed righteousness —but not even one—provided forgiveness— Only one could get that done— Jesus—God’s redeeming Son. [Chorus] One for all—One for all, once and forever Jesus once and forever—on one cross—paid it all—once and done. Just one name—one and one alone— Broke every chain—Just one drop of blood wiped out—all guilt and shame Changing one heart at a time By the power—in Jesus’s name. [Verse 2 ] Jesus—He’s the righteous Savior—once and done—for you and me—He died—on that tree All our sin laid on Him—He paid the price instead of you and me Every sin debt we couldn’t pay Fell on one Savior—on one cross—when Jesus freely—gave His life away Now the cross stands as a doorway—but one day— that door will close—never to open again. Jesus stands at every heart’s door— Calling all sinners—each and every one—to stand—and let Him in! [Bridge] The LORD—is looking for just one—to forgive of sin— Would You right now—be the one—to answer—and let Him in? Oh Lord—are You still seeking just one righteous one— Because You oh Lord—with me—You are not done. And Lord—are You still looking for just one heart—You can set on fire—that can change the world—ohhhh—my Lord—make that my desire. Make me oh Lord—acceptable in Your sight— Then Lord, send me—full of Your Grace, strength, and might. [Tag] And for the lost—Just one more, Lord, just one more—that would trust in You—that You would save their soul Just one more, Lord, just one more Bring them home and make them whole For You are the One for all—the all in all—for everyone— You are Savior and Lord—God’s Holy and risen Son! And we worship You— We worship You oh Lord— For only in You—all grace and mercy—can the whole world afford. So in this moment—we turn our eyes upon You— All for one and one for all— When Grace stepped in—Jesus on one cross—He paid it all!

Grace Stepped In

Have you ever looked at the world around you and wondered whether anything could make it right? The cruelty, the dishonesty, the broken families—and then the uncomfortable realization that the problem isn't only out there. We have our own hearts to answer for.

Abraham once stood before the Lord and pleaded for the city of Sodom. Genesis 18:22–33 records his questions: Would the Lord spare the place if righteous people were found there? Abraham's concern shows us both the seriousness of judgment and the mercy of a God who hears a plea.

But the Bible also turns that question toward every one of us. Romans 3:10 says, “There is none righteous, no, not one.” If our hope depended on finding one naturally sinless person among us, we would have no hope at all.

Here is where the Gospel becomes astonishing. God did not lower His standard or pretend evil was good. He sent His Son. Jesus alone lived without sin, and 1 Peter 3:18 tells us that Christ suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God.

Can you imagine standing before a holy God with nothing to offer but your guilt—and discovering that Jesus has done what you could never do?

Read Romans 3:21–26 slowly. Notice that God's righteousness is revealed through faith in Jesus Christ, and that redemption comes through Him. This is not a story about people finally becoming good enough to save themselves. It is about a righteous Savior giving Himself for sinners.

Maybe you are tempted to despair over the condition of the world. Maybe you are angry at what others have done. Or perhaps you're exhausted from trying to prove you are better than the next person. Scripture invites us away from both pride and hopelessness and toward the cross.

Would you be willing to begin with your own heart? Confess the sins you know rather than cataloging everyone else's. Trust Christ alone for salvation. Then ask Him to make you a faithful witness—someone who tells the truth, practices mercy, and speaks the Gospel with love.

Let's pray. Holy God, we confess that we need Your mercy. Thank You for sending Jesus, the righteous One, to bring the unrighteous to You. Save those who have not yet trusted Him. Change our hearts, keep us humble, and make us courageous in sharing the good news. In Jesus' name, amen.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is that even one person reading this today would turn to Christ. If that person is you, we are praying for you.
