Future / Past

by John Mark McMillan

Theology & Meaning

A lyrical meditation on the love of God that extends in every direction—before and behind, past and future. Draws on the language of 1 Corinthians 13 and Romans 8:38-39: nothing in all creation can separate believers from this love. Security in the love of God as the foundation of worship.

Worship Leadership Tips

John Mark McMillan's artistic, poetic style rewards close listening. Best in smaller gatherings or intimate worship settings where the congregation can engage with the lyric. Works well after a message on God's love or the security of the believer.

Arrangement Tips

Indie-worship feel with atmospheric electric guitar. Piano or keys for harmonic foundation. McMillan's songs allow significant freedom in arrangement—they are built for the moment. Avoid over-polishing; the raw sincerity of his writing style should be honored.
