I'll worship at Your throne
Whisper my own love song

It'll be for eternity

That You showed me through the cross

I'll worship You my God
I'll worship You my God
I love You, I love You
Forever I will sing
Forever I will be with You

Meaning & Inspiration
Forever is a love song to God that promises lifelong worship and looks ahead to eternity. The verse pictures worshiping at His throne, whispering a love song, singing with all of the heart and living every day to bring Him joy, with the hope that meeting Him will last for eternity. He is addressed as Dad and King.
The next section marvels at how wide His arms open when love is needed, how far He would come if the singer were lost, and the undying love shown through the cross. The chorus repeats "I'll worship You my God" and "Forever I will sing," ending with the thought of being with Him forever. The themes follow Psalm 29:2 on worshiping the Lord, Luke 15:20 where the father runs with open arms to a lost son, and Romans 5:8 on love shown through Christ's death. The simple, repeated lines give the song a tender, devoted tone.
