Lyrics
For all Your love
And for Your grace
And for Your mercy
Day by day
And for the times
That You stood by
When we strayed so far away
You were there
And you showed how much you cared
And for all these things
We say to You
Chorus
We lift Your name (we lift Your name)
we lift Your name (Lord we lift Your name)
We lift Your name forevermore
We lift Your name (we lift Your name)
We lift Your name (Lord we lift Your name)
We lift Your name forevermore
For being who You are
And for being our shining star
We lift Your name
We lift Your name
Forevermore
When times were hard
When times were bad
When losing loved ones made us sad
And when all our days
Were full of pain
And when it seems we had nothing
Nothing to gain
You were there, yes You were
And You showed how much You cared
And for all these things
We say to You
Chorus
Lord we love You
We love You Jesus
And we stand before to say
We love You
When we were lost
So lost in sin
When we were so scarred
So deep within
And when we cryed
Cryed out to You
You did not turn away
You brought us through
You were there
And You showed how much You cared
And for all these things
We say to You
We lift Your name
We lift Your name
We lift Your name forevermore...

Meaning & Inspiration
We Lift Your Name Forevermore is a song of sustained gratitude for divine love, grace, mercy, and faithfulness. Its verses move through wandering, grief, hardship, pain, and sin, repeatedly answering each condition with the assurance that God remained present and caring. The chorus turns those memories into praise, lifting the Lord’s name not for a single rescue alone but for who he is. Repeated declarations give the lyric the character of congregational thanksgiving.
Psalm 34:3 closely matches the central invitation to exalt the Lord’s name. Psalm 103:8 also supports the opening gratitude for mercy and grace by describing the Lord as compassionate, gracious, and abounding in steadfast love. The later confession of being lost in sin adds redemption to the song’s list of reasons for praise. Rather than overlooking sorrow, the lyric names bereavement and difficult days before affirming God’s care through them. Praise emerges as a response to remembered faithfulness, forgiveness, and sustaining presence.
