Forever starts now
Far longer than then
We don’t see how.
Time is mystery to men.
But You understand
You gave us Your Word
We avoid sinking sand
If we do what we’ve heard.
Your statutes are true
Your law everlasting
And not one thing new
Can sway You by blasting
Your Word. Like David
We run in the path
Of Your Way; you saved us
From inevitable death.
Open our eyes
Let us taste sweet
And offer our praise
Our footsteps to meet
You. Your commands
We will trust
But to understand
We must
Have help from you
To discern
To tell the difference,
To learn
Which things have worth
And which do not
To uphold your ways
Not being distraught
Before kings. You’re our shield
And refuge. Let us live
To love and honor You
Praises we give:
You are righteous.
You are faithful.
You are forever.
