Bethel Music - Forever Lyrics
Lyrics
The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Savior of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon Him
One final breath He gave
As heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
The war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken
The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated
Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive, He is alive
Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive, He is alive
The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His reckless love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated
Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive, He is alive
Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive, He is alive
We sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah
The Lamb has overcome
We sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah
The Lamb has overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King has overcome
He has overcome

Meaning & Inspiration
"Forever," a poignant offering from Bethel Music's 2022 release, *Simple (Deluxe)*, invites listeners into a profound contemplation of God's enduring faithfulness and unchanging nature. This track delves into the bedrock truth that God's love and promises are not bound by time or circumstance, a concept beautifully echoed throughout Scripture. The song centers on the unwavering constancy of God, a theme that resonates deeply with the biblical narrative of a God who is "the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). It speaks to the deep comfort found in knowing that the One who created all things also sustains them with an unyielding grip. The message unfolds as a testament to divine presence, reminding us that in every season of life, whether marked by joy or trial, God's commitment remains steadfast. This unchanging aspect of God's character offers a powerful anchor for our faith, a stark contrast to the transient nature of the world around us. Just as God declared through the prophet Isaiah, "I am the Lord, and I change not" (Malachi 3:6), so too does this song testify to that immutable truth. "Forever" encourages a posture of trust, leaning into the certainty that God's plan for us is eternal and His love is inexhaustible, aligning with the Apostle Paul's assurance that nothing "will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39). The song is an invitation to rest in the quiet assurance of His perpetual presence and the everlasting nature of His covenant, painting a picture of a God whose grace extends beyond our comprehension and into eternity.
