Canyon Hills Worship - As Long as I Live Lyrics

“As Long as I Live” centers on God’s steady love through failure, wandering, and restoration. The opening lines place human instability beside divine pursuit: the singer runs and falls, yet God remains present and restores. That contrast gives the song its central assurance. Grace is not described as a reward for flawless faith but as the action of a faithful Savior who continues to meet weakness with mercy.

The chorus draws directly on the language of steadfast love being better than life and praise remaining on the lips. Its response is sustained worship rather than a passing emotion. The bridge then gathers the song’s names for God—merciful Savior, faithful Redeemer—and turns them into a lifelong promise to bless his name. Psalm 63 provides an especially close biblical parallel, joining God’s better-than-life love with praising him for as long as life continues. The lyric therefore moves from being pursued and restored to answering that mercy with enduring praise.
