Lyrics
Verse 1
My help comes from the Lord
Maker of heaven and earth
He will not let me fall
He holds true to His word
Pre-Chorus
Neither sun by day
Nor moon by night
Will harm or hide me from His sight
So let this be the song I sing
Let this be the song I sing
Chorus
I will lift my eyes
For I know who holds my life
Both now and forevermore
He will guard my steps
He will be refuge and rest
Both now and forevermore
Verse 2
My strength comes from the Lord
Protector of my soul
In Him I place my trust
In Him I find my hope
Coming in or going out
Without fear, without doubt
This will be the song I sing
This will be the song I sing
Bridge
Look to the mountains here He comes
Creation shouts for all He's done

Meaning & Inspiration
Now And Forevermore is a setting of Psalm 121 as a song of trust in God's protection. The first verse says the singer's help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth, who will not let the singer fall and holds true to His word. The next lines say neither sun by day nor moon by night will harm the singer, and the chorus promises to lift the eyes, knowing who holds life, both now and forevermore, with His guarding of every step.
The second verse names the Lord as strength and protector of the soul, a place for trust and hope, whether coming in or going out, and the bridge looks to the mountains as creation shouts for all He has done. The text follows Psalm 121:1-8, especially verses 2, 3, 6 and 8, with Isaiah 41:10. Quiet, confident and repetitive, the song suits a time of reassurance.
