And I love the Cross. I love the fact that when Jesus died on the Cross it meant we could come before him with boldness. Because when that veil was torn in two, it give us this access, it gives us this moment, these moments that we life for. His presence comes and hovers and we can feel it. Aren't you so thankful for Jesus? Aren't you so thankful for the price that He paid on the Cross, to pay for our sin and give us mercy and grace? But more than that, a love that He wanted us, He wants us, He loves to be with us. Will you lift your hands for a moment? I just want you to tune in to that for a moment of just saying, "God, I thank You for the Cross." There's no one like You, Jesus. Thank You, Lord. We press into You tonight, Lord. We love Your presence, we love You, we love You
The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Savior of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon him
One final breath He gave
As Heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
The war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken
The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated
Forever, He is glorified
Forever, He is lifted high
Forever, He is risen
He is alive
He is alive
The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated
Forever, He is glorified
Forever, He is lifted high
Forever, He is risen
He is alive
He is alive
You have overcome
Your resurrected King
You have overcome the grave
You have overcome
We sing Hallelujah, we sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome
We sing Hallelujah, we sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome
We sing Hallelujah, we sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome
We sing Hallelujah, we sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome
We sing Hallelujah, we sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome
We sing Hallelujah, we sing Hallelujah
We sing Hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome
Forever, He is glorified
Forever, He is lifted high
Forever, He is risen
He is alive
He is alive
Forever, He is glorified
Forever, He is lifted high
Forever, He is risen
He is alive
He is alive
"Forever" by Bethel Music is a powerful worship song that beautifully captures the essence of the Cross and the victory we have through Jesus Christ. The lyrics invite us to reflect on the incredible love and sacrifice of Jesus, and to praise Him for His triumph over sin and death.
The song begins by describing the scene of Jesus' crucifixion. The moon and stars weep, and the morning sun is dead, symbolizing the darkness and sorrow that filled the earth when Jesus laid down His life. The Savior of the world was fallen, His body on the cross, and His blood poured out for us. The weight of every curse was upon Him. These lines paint a vivid picture of the immense suffering and sacrifice Jesus endured for our sake.
But the song doesn't end with Jesus' death on the Cross; it goes on to proclaim the victory of His resurrection. It declares that death could not hold Him, and that through His sacrifice, the power of hell was forever broken. This echoes the words of the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, where he triumphantly declares, "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?... Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." The resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate triumph over sin and death, and "Forever" beautifully captures the joy and celebration that comes with this victory.
The song also emphasizes the glory and exaltation of Jesus. It proclaims that He is forever glorified and lifted high, and that He is alive. This echoes the biblical truth that Jesus is not a distant historical figure, but a living and active Savior who reigns in power. In Revelation 1:18, Jesus says, "I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." Through His resurrection, Jesus has conquered death and is seated at the right hand of God, forever exalted and worthy of our worship.
"Forever" is not just a song about what Jesus did on the Cross; it's also a song about what His victory means for us today. It reminds us that because of Jesus, we have hope and assurance of eternal life. It invites us to join in the chorus of Hallelujah, praising the Lamb who has overcome. As believers, we can find comfort, strength, and confidence in the truth that Jesus has conquered sin and death, and that nothing can separate us from His love.
In conclusion, "Forever" by Bethel Music is a powerful worship anthem that beautifully captures the essence of the Cross and the victory we have through Jesus Christ. Its lyrics invite us to reflect on the incredible love and sacrifice of Jesus, and to join in the celebration of His resurrection. Through its biblical references and powerful imagery, the song reminds us of the hope, assurance, and eternal life we have because of Jesus. It is a song that stirs our hearts to worship and exalt the name of Jesus, who is forever glorified and alive.
