It Shall Be Permanent
It shall be permanent, it shall be permanent
What the Lord has done for me, it shall be permanent
It shall be permanent, it shall be permanent
What the Lord has done for me, it shall be permanent
It shall be permanent, powerful and tangible
What the Lord has done tonight, it shall be permanent
It shall be permanent, it shall be permanent
What the Lord has done for me, it shall be permanent
It shall be relevant, powerful and tangible
What the Lord has done tonight, it shall be permanent
It shall be permanent, it shall be permanent
What the Lord has done for me, it shall be permanent
Say, It shall be relevant, powerful and tangible
What the Lord has done tonight, it shall be permanent

Meaning & Inspiration
It Shall Be Permanent presents God’s work as lasting rather than temporary. Its recurring declaration gives the medley the character of a congregational affirmation: what the Lord has done cannot easily be undone. References to divine power, God’s excellent name, and Jehovah as the Most High broaden the song from personal gratitude into direct praise. The brief line about coming from heaven to earth also places Christ’s saving mission within that praise.
The central claim aligns closely with confidence in God’s enduring work. Philippians 1:6 speaks of God completing the good work he begins, while Psalm 8:1 supplies the language of the Lord’s excellent name. The medley does not develop these passages as exposition; instead, it gathers simple declarations that can be repeated in worship. Its movement from testimony to adoration emphasizes steadfast trust, celebrating both what God has already done and who God remains.
