Forever
by Chris Tomlin
Theology & Meaning
Rooted in the biblical refrain of thanksgiving found in Psalm 136, where each verse affirms 'His steadfast love endures forever.' The song highlights key attributes of God - His goodness, strength, and constant presence. By singing 'Forever God is faithful,' the congregation professes God's covenant love.
Worship Leadership Tips
This song serves well as an opener or celebratory praise moment. Consider reading a few verses from Psalm 136 or Psalm 100 as a call to worship, then launch into the song's energetic intro.
Arrangement Tips
Encourage hand-clapping or use a drum build to engage people rhythmically. Emphasize the refrain 'His love endures forever' by possibly having the congregation repeat it a cappella.
