Christ Is Mine Forevermore
by CityAlight
Theology & Meaning
Acknowledges the reality of suffering ('days here as a stranger, pilgrim on a narrow way') but frames it with eternal perspective. Each verse juxtaposes present troubles with the assurance of God's unchanging love and future glory.
Worship Leadership Tips
Given its storytelling nature, consider introducing this song by reading a related Scripture or sharing a brief testimony of hope in trial. The melody is folk-like and fairly simple, making it easy for congregations to learn.
Arrangement Tips
Instrumentation can start sparse (just acoustic guitar or piano), adding layers as the song progresses to mirror the growing hope in the lyrics. The final chorus is a triumphant declaration - don't rush it.
