Holy Forever
Chris Tomlin Lyrics

(Holy)
Acknowledging the holiness and purity of God.

A thousand generations falling down in worship
Countless generations bowing in reverence and adoration.

To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
Praising and proclaiming the eternal significance of Jesus, the Lamb of God.

And all who've gone before us and all who will believe
Including both those who have passed and those who will have faith in Jesus.

Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb
Joining together to sing a timeless anthem to Jesus, the Lamb of God.

Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all
Declaring that God's name is superior and surpasses all other names.

If you've been forgiven and if you've been redeemed

If you walk in freedom and if you bear His name
Addressing those who live in the freedom found in Jesus and bear His name as followers.

Sing the song forever to the Lamb
Encouraging those who walk in freedom to continuously worship and honor Jesus.

We'll sing the song forever and amen
