Forever an Ever
Aaron Spiro


Forever and ever we will sing your praises
Forever and ever we will glorify your name
Above all names every name
Merciful Lord Jesus
You took the cross to free us
Conquered death and sin
In a battle they could never win
For you are the first the last
Lord of future Lord of past
You reign in glory as the king
You reign in glory as the king
Receive the praise we sing



Forever and ever we will praise the lord and worship Him. This is exactly what we will be doing in heaven and it is exactly what we should be doing now. In whatever we do we should do it for the lord givung Him thanks; and He is the past and the future, we have a lot to look forward to in Heaven and a lot to do now. What also stuck out to me was that how our lord conqured death and sin in a battle the couldn't win. He is so musch more powerful than us that he is more powerful than something that we used to be enslaved to; but now that he has released us from the power of the sin, we can have a relationship with Him and worship Him forever and ever.

Sometimes I wonder why music in general, and singing in particular, plays such an important part in the lives of people. Worship music empowers me, and is kind of my internal soundtrack. That is biblical- it's in one of Paul's letters, to use "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, making melodies in your heart to the Lord"- (this might be slightly paraphrasing.) On the other hand, I know some guys who seem to be demonically empowered by ungodly music, even though they would not agree with that analysis.
