Chris Shalom - Eternity Lyrics
Lyrics
Eternity is not enough to worship
You are inexhaustible
I daily offer me a living sacrifice
That's my reasonable service to you
It is to you,
The lifting of my hands is to you
It is to you,
The raising of my voice is to You
Eternity is not enough to worship
You are inexhaustible
I daily offer me a living sacrifice
That's my reasonable service to you
It is to you,
The lifting of my hands is to you
It is to you,
The raising of my voice is to You
There will never be another be another
There will never be another be another You
There will never be another be another
There will never be another be another You
It is to you,
The lifting of my hands is to you
It is to you,
The raising of my voice is to You

ETERNITY-CHRIS SHALOM AND WORDBREED WORSHIP GROUP
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on September 19, 2019, "Eternity" by Chris Shalom and Wordbreed Worship Group delivers a profound message of unending devotion, centering on the inexhaustible nature of God. This worship anthem serves as a powerful declaration of surrender and adoration, inviting believers into a deeper understanding of what it means to truly worship the divine. The song’s essence captures the heart’s yearning to give more than time or finite expressions can contain, acknowledging the vastness of God's being and worthiness.
The core of "Eternity" unfolds with the stunning realization that even an endless expanse of time is insufficient to fully worship God, because He is "inexhaustible." This opening line immediately establishes a reverent tone, echoing sentiments found in Scripture that speak to God's incomprehensible greatness, such as Psalm 145:3 which proclaims, "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom." It challenges the worshipper to look beyond human limitations and grasp, however faintly, the infinite majesty of the Creator. Following this awe-inspiring acknowledgment, the song shifts to a personal commitment: "I daily offer me a living sacrifice, that's my reasonable service to you." This line directly references Romans 12:1, a cornerstone verse for Christian living, which urges believers to "offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." The emphasis on "daily" transforms worship from a periodic event into a continuous, moment-by-moment consecration of one's entire being. It suggests that our daily choices, our attitudes, and our very lives are meant to be an offering, a conscious act of devotion to God.
The recurring refrain, "It is to You, the lifting of my hands is to You; it is to You, the raising of my voice is to You," further articulates this commitment. This imagery draws from numerous biblical instances where lifting hands signifies surrender, praise, and prayer, as seen in Psalm 63:4, "I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands." Similarly, raising one's voice is a classic expression of vocal worship and exaltation throughout the Psalms, declaring God's glory and power. The repetition of "It is to You" firmly directs all these acts of worship—both physical and vocal—to God alone, denying any self-centeredness or misdirection of praise. This emphasis underscores the exclusivity of divine worship, a concept deeply rooted in passages like Deuteronomy 6:5, which calls us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and strength. Finally, the declaration, "There will never be another You," powerfully affirms God's unique sovereignty and peerless nature. This statement aligns perfectly with passages like Isaiah 45:5, where God Himself declares, "I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God." It is an unwavering affirmation of monotheism, declaring that no other being can compare to Him in power, holiness, or love. "Eternity" therefore stands as a profound worship piece, not merely a song, but a theological declaration that inspires believers to live lives marked by continuous, surrendered, and God-focused adoration, recognizing Him as the singular object of all praise.
