NewSpring Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my fortress, You're my helper
A mighty tower and my shelter
With grace that covers all my failures
Now and forever

I lift my hands, lay down my heart
My eyes have seen how great You are.
I lift my hands, lay down my heart
My eyes have seen how great You are
Now and forever.

Delivered up from our transgressions
Becoming sin for my redemption
Forgiving all of my rebellion
Now and forever

I lift my hands, lay down my heart
My eyes have seen how great You are.
I lift my hands, lay down my heart
My eyes have seen how great You are
Now and forever, now and forever.

And there is no other name on Earth, worthy of honor
And Jesus You reign over all things, now and forever.
And there is no other name on Earth, worthy of honor
Jesus You reign over all things, now and forever.
And there is no other name on Earth, worthy of honor
And Jesus You reign over all things, now and forever.

I lift my hands, lay down my heart
My eyes have seen how great You are.
I lift my hands, lay down my heart
My eyes have seen how great You are.
I lift my hands, lay down my heart
My eyes have seen how great You are, yeh.
I lift my hands, lay down my heart
My eyes have seen how great You are
Now and forever.
Now and forever.




Now and forever.
Now and forever.

The lyrics describe God as a fortress, a helper, a mighty tower, and a shelter. These descriptions are all related to the protection and security that God provides to his people. He is a fortress that we can hide in when the world around us becomes overwhelming. He is a helper who comes to our aid when we need him most. He is a mighty tower that we can look up to when we feel small and unimportant. And he is a shelter that keeps us safe from harm.


The second verse of the song focuses on God's redeeming and forgiving nature. "Delivered up from our transgressions, Becoming sin for my redemption, Forgiving all of my rebellion, Now and forever." These lyrics are a reminder of how God sacrificed everything to save us from our sins. He became sin for us so that we could be made righteous through his sacrifice. And he forgives us when we rebel against him, offering us forgiveness and grace that covers our failures.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the greatness of God and his reign over all things, now and forever. The repetition of the line "My eyes have seen how great You are" reinforces the idea that God is truly great, and that we have witnessed and experienced his greatness in our own lives.


Overall, the song Now and Forever is a powerful reminder of God's protection, forgiveness, and greatness. It encourages us to lift our hands and hearts in worship, as we remember all that God has done for us.
