Lyrics
FOREVER
I will sing Your praise forever,
I will follow You forever.
You will be my guide forever,
You are forever Lord.
I will worship You forever,
I will bow to You forever.
I will hail Your name forever,
Yes, Lord, forevermore.
I will run to You forever,
I will depend on You forever.
I will call on You forever,
You are forever Lord.
You’re the only One I need,
I come to You on my knees.
You’re the only One there is,
I am here on bended knees.
You’re the only One I need,
I come to You on my knees.
You’re the only One there is,
I am here on bended knees.
I will live for You forever
I will trust in You forever
I will rest in You forever
You are forever Lord
For me to live is Christ forever
And what He did for me forever
He paid for all my sins forever
For now and forevermore
