Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
Our strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
Our God, You reign forever
Our Hope, our strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God
You do not faint, You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles
Our strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
Our strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
Our God, You reign forever
Our Hope, our strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God
You do not faint, You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles
Sing it with me now
Our strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
Our strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
Our God, You reign forever
Our Hope, our strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God
You do not faint, You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles
On wings like eagles

Everlasting God
Meaning & Inspiration
"Everlasting God," featured on Cedarmont Worship for Kids, Vol. 4, released in 2007, serves as a powerful anthem designed to instill foundational faith principles in young hearts. While specific details surrounding its creation aren't readily available, the song's essence clearly aims to communicate the unwavering strength and faithfulness of God, drawing directly from well-established biblical truths. The core message revolves around the concept of divine endurance and how believers can draw strength from this eternal attribute. The repeated refrain, "Our strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord," directly echoes the scriptural command to be patient and trust in God's timing and power, as found in passages like Isaiah 40:31, which promises renewed strength to those who wait for the Lord. This waiting is not passive resignation, but an active posture of reliance, acknowledging that true power originates from God and is revealed in His perfect will.
The subsequent verses elaborate on the nature of this everlasting God, describing Him as reigning forever, our hope, and our strong Deliverer. This imagery aligns with numerous scriptural affirmations of God's sovereignty and redemptive actions throughout history. The declaration, "You do not faint, You won't grow weary," is a profound reminder of God's inexhaustible nature, contrasting with human limitations. This characteristic is powerfully articulated in Isaiah 40:28, which asks, "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable." The song further highlights God's compassion and protective nature by describing Him as "the defender of the weak" and one who "comforts those in need." These attributes are consistently portrayed in the Bible, from God's commitment to the vulnerable as seen in Psalm 146:7 and 147:3 to His tender care for the afflicted in Matthew 5:4. Finally, the beautiful metaphor, "You lift us up on wings like eagles," directly references Isaiah 40:31 again, painting a vivid picture of God's ability to elevate and empower His people, allowing them to soar above trials and difficulties with His divine assistance. The inclusion of the line, "Sing it with me now," emphasizes the communal and participatory nature of worship, encouraging congregational engagement and shared testimony. Overall, "Everlasting God" is a biblically rich and encouraging piece that aims to anchor children in the timeless truth of God's unyielding strength and love, fostering a spirit of reliance and hope.
