It's Shall Be Permanent
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 7, 2017, Krystaal Music’s “It Shall Be Permanent” immediately sets a profound tone, delivering a message of unwavering faith and assurance in God’s work. This song isn't just a musical piece; it’s a powerful declaration, a spiritual anchor for anyone navigating the transient nature of life. Its core narrative centers on the unshakeable truth that whatever God initiates or accomplishes in a believer’s life is not temporary or fleeting, but eternally secured. It articulates the deep comfort found in the permanence of divine intervention, moving beyond mere sentiment to solid theological ground, serving as a powerful reminder that God's actions carry eternal weight and consequence.
The foundational declaration, repeated throughout the song, emphasizes that "What the Lord has done for me, it shall be permanent." This isn’t a wish or a hope, but a firm conviction rooted in the character of God Himself. Unlike human promises or earthly endeavors which often fade, God's work endures. This resonates deeply with scriptural truths, such as in Isaiah 40:8 which states, "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." Similarly, God’s covenant promises, from Abraham to the new covenant established through Christ, are consistently described as everlasting (Genesis 17:7, Hebrews 13:20). The song speaks to the permanence of salvation, redemption, healing, and deliverance—any good thing received from the Lord is secured by His unchanging nature, meaning no earthly power or circumstance can undo what God has done.
Adding layers to this foundational truth, the song describes God's work as “powerful and tangible.” This expands the understanding beyond mere duration to active impact. God's interventions are not abstract ideas; they are real, evident, and full of divine authority. The Apostle Paul affirms this in Romans 1:16, declaring the Gospel as "the power of God for salvation." When God acts, His power is not only effective but often felt and witnessed, making His presence undeniable in our lives. The inclusion of "tonight" further grounds this message in an immediate, personal context, suggesting that God's work is ongoing, accessible, and manifested in the present moment, offering a fresh testament to His faithfulness and active involvement. This continuous outpouring of mercy and power is echoed in Lamentations 3:22-23, which reminds us that God's mercies are "new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."
Moreover, describing God's work as "relevant" underlines its timeless applicability. It's not just a historical account or an ancient promise; God's actions and His nature are pertinent to today's challenges and triumphs. This aligns perfectly with Hebrews 13:8, which proclaims, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." His character, His power, and His commitment to His people do not wane with time or changing societal norms. The song thus encourages a present-day faith, assuring the believer that God’s permanent work is directly applicable to their current reality, offering solutions, comfort, and direction.
The shift in the song to a direct address, "Oh Lord my God, How excellent is your name," transitions from declaration to worship, highlighting the awe and reverence due to God. The word "excellent" speaks to God’s supreme majesty, His unparalleled goodness, and His inherent glory, aligning with Psalm 8:1, "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" This expression of adoration reinforces the source of the permanent, powerful, tangible, and relevant works—a God whose character is beyond compare. This worship is further intensified by acknowledging Him as "Jehovah, the Most High," a title frequently used in Scripture (Psalm 91:1) to signify God's ultimate sovereignty and supreme authority over all creation.
The song reaches its theological zenith with the profound statement, "You came from heaven to earth to show us the way." This line unequivocally points to the incarnation of Jesus Christ, the ultimate demonstration of God’s permanent, tangible, and relevant work among humanity. It is through Christ’s coming, His life, death, and resurrection, that the way to eternal life and a permanent relationship with God was established, as Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." This act of selfless love from heaven to earth is the bedrock upon which all of God’s permanent works are built, making salvation, transformation, and an enduring hope accessible to all. "It Shall Be Permanent" by Krystaal Music is far more than a catchy tune; it’s a profound testament to the steadfast nature of God, inspiring confidence and deep gratitude for His eternal commitment to His creation.
