Meaning & Inspiration
Forever You're My King is a song of devotion to God as king. The opening lines promise to love Him forever with all the heart, and the verses name Him as shelter in the time of storm and as the one whose mercy follows forever, each ending with the line that forever He is King. A later verse gives all the glory and honor to Him.
The closing lines turn to the Trinity, calling Him Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity, language from Revelation 4:8 and Isaiah 6:3. The mercy that follows matches Psalm 23:6, the shelter in storm fits Psalm 61:3 and Isaiah 25:4, and the love with all the heart echoes Deuteronomy 6:5. Short and repetitive, the song is easy for a congregation to learn and sing as a statement of lasting loyalty.
