Lyrics
Verse 1
I give my all to You
Send me and I will go for You
To the ends of the earth
I'll follow after You
I want the world to know
Your Love endures forever
Verse 2
Tell me and I'll obey
This is far greater the sacrifice
Trusting you and not myself
Will always lead to blessing
Lord have your way in me
Not my will, Yours be done
Pre-Chorus
Here I stand within Your Presence
Longing for Your touch
A thousand days cannot compare
To one day in Your courts
Chorus
Hold me now and never let me go
My Jesus, my Precious Saviour
I'm forever Yours
I will worship You forever
I will worship You

Meaning & Inspiration
“I’m Forever Yours” by Planetshakers is a prayer of surrender and devotion. The opening lines offer everything to God, “I give my all to You,” and promise to go wherever sent, to the ends of the earth. That readiness is close to Isaiah 6:8, where the prophet answers the call with “Here am I, send me.”
The second verse describes obedience as the better path. Trusting God rather than self is said to lead to blessing, and the plea “Not my will, Yours be done” recalls Jesus’ prayer in Luke 22:42. The lyric also wants the world to know that God’s love endures forever, a phrase familiar from the refrains of the Psalms.
The pre-chorus places the singer in God’s presence, longing for His touch, and says that “a thousand days cannot compare to one day in Your courts,” which closely follows Psalm 84:10. The chorus then settles into belonging: “Hold me now and never let me go” and “I’m forever Yours.” The message is wholehearted commitment and worship.
