“Holy Forever” by Chris Tomlin is a powerful worship song that celebrates the holiness and eternal reign of God. The lyrics focus on the reverence, awe, and adoration due to God, emphasizing that His holiness is timeless and everlasting. It’s a song that invites worshippers to join in a chorus of praise that transcends time, connecting believers with the heavenly declaration of God’s holiness.
The song’s structure builds up to an anthem-like refrain, where voices lift together in worship, affirming that God’s name will be praised forever. This song fits well in settings of communal worship, where the emphasis is on surrender and acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty and eternal holiness. It reflects themes of reverence, humility, and the power of God’s name, which will be declared as holy forever.
The video below features the worship band from my former church, The Chapel in Libertyville. It’s worth listening not only to the song itself but also to the powerful message shared just past the halfway point.
A thousand generations falling down in worship
To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
And all who’ve gone before us and all who will believe
Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb
“We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.
Your Name is the highest
Your Name is the greatest
Your Name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your Name stands above them all
“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
And the angels cry, Holy
All creation cries, Holy
You are lifted high, Holy
Holy Forever
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
If you’ve been forgiven and if you’ve been redeemed
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
If you walk in freedom and if you bear His Name
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
We’ll sing the song forever and Amen
‘”Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!’”
And the angels cry, Holy
All creation cries, Holy
You are lifted high, Holy
Holy Forever
Hear your people sing, Holy
To the King of Kings, Holy
You will always be, Holy
Holy Forever
Your Name is the highest
Your Name is the greatest
Your Name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your Name stands above them all
“He exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.”
Jesus
Your Name is the highest
Your Name is the greatest
Your Name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your Name stands above them all
And the angels cry, Holy
All creation cries, Holy
You are lifted high, Holy
Holy Forever
“And they were calling to one another: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’”
Hear your people sing, Holy
To the King of Kings, Holy
You will always be, Holy
Holy Forever
You will always be, Holy
Holy Forever
