Lyrics
Your love is devoted like a ring of solid gold
Like a vow that is tested like a covenant of old
Your love is enduring through the winter rain
And beyond the horizon with mercy for today
Faithful You have been and faithful you will be
You pledge yourself to me and it's why I sing
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
You Father the orphan
Your kindness makes us whole
And You shoulder our weakness
And Your strength becomes our own
Now You're making me like you
Clothing me in white
Bringing beauty from ashes
For You will have Your bride
Free of all her guilt and rid of all her shame
And known by her true name and it's why I sing
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
You will be praised You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord
You will be praised You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord
You will be praised You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord
You will be praised You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord
And it's why I sing
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips

Meaning & Inspiration
Ever Be celebrates God’s enduring love and faithfulness through images of covenant, adoption, restoration, and worship. Divine love is compared with solid gold and a tested vow, suggesting commitment that remains steady through hardship. The lyric also describes God as Father to the orphan, the one whose kindness restores wholeness and whose strength meets weakness. Images of white clothing, freedom from guilt, and beauty rising from ashes connect praise with renewal.
The recurring promise that praise will remain on my lips closely echoes Psalm 34:1, where praise of the Lord is described as continual. The song’s vision of angels and saints declaring God worthy also recalls Revelation 5:11–12. Its bridal language may be read alongside Revelation 19:7–8, which portrays the prepared bride clothed in clean linen. These references gather the song’s themes into one response: God’s faithful character, mercy, and redeeming work lead naturally to sustained praise.
