Always and Forever - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
"Always and Forever" by UPPERROOM is a beautiful song that echoes the sentiments of worship and adoration found throughout the Bible. The lyrics of this song remind us of the majesty and glory of God, and our role as His creation to offer Him our praise and worship.
The song begins with a recognition of the Trinity - Father, Son, and Spirit - and the heavenly worship they receive. This mirrors the biblical passage in Revelation 4:8, where the four living creatures never cease to say, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!" The song's lyrics and this verse both acknowledge the eternal nature of God and His deservingness of our ceaseless praise.
The chorus of the song proclaims, "You deserve the highest praise, Holy is Your name." This sentiment is echoed in Psalm 99:3, "Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he!" The song and the scripture both emphasize the holiness of God's name and His worthiness of the highest praise.
The bridge of the song declares, "Glory, honor, thanks to You, This is what we're made to do." This aligns with 1 Peter 2:9, which states, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." Both the song and the scripture affirm our purpose as God's creation: to glorify, honor, and give thanks to Him.
The song concludes with a refrain of "You are worthy," a simple yet profound declaration that resonates with Revelation 5:12, which says, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" Both the song and the scripture acknowledge the worthiness of Christ, the Risen Son, to receive all glory and honor.
As we reflect on the lyrics of "Always and Forever" and the corresponding biblical passages, we are reminded of the majesty and glory of God, His eternal nature, and our purpose to worship and glorify Him. This leads us to a thought-provoking question: How are we living out our purpose to glorify, honor, and give thanks to God in our daily lives? Are we truly recognizing His worthiness and responding with the praise and worship He deserves? Let this song and these scriptures inspire us to live a life of worship, always and forever.
