In This Forever
Rita Springer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That cost a life
That paid my way
Death its price
When it flowed
Down from the cross
My sins were gone
My sins forgot
There is a grave,
That tried to hide
This precious blood
That gave me life
In three days
He breathed again
And rose to stand in my defense
So I come, to tell you He's alive
To tell you that He dries, every tear that falls
So I come, to tell you that He saves
To shout and to proclaim
That He is coming back for you,
This Life, This Price, This Blood, This One
There is a Blood
That sights the blind
That heals the sick
The lonely, finds
It has the power
To free the bound
As chains fall
Upon the ground
So pour it out and
To cleanse my soul
And let its liquid glory flow
Because it lives
To make me whole
I owe my life
I owe my soul……
So I come, to tell you He's alive
To tell you that He dries, every tear that falls
So I come, to tell you that He saves
To shout and to proclaim
That He is coming back for you,
This Life, This Price, This Blood, This One
The song "In This Forever" by Rita Springer is a powerful declaration of the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for the redemption of humanity. The lyrics speak of the blood that flowed from Jesus' wounds as the ultimate price paid for our sins, and how it washed away our transgressions, freeing us from the weight of guilt and condemnation. The grave that tried to hide Jesus' body is also mentioned, and how it was unable to hold back the power of the resurrection, which gives us hope that we too can overcome death and enter into eternal life.
The chorus of the song repeats several times, with the vocalist coming to tell us that Jesus is alive and that he dries every tear that falls. We are also told that he saves us and is coming back for us. The bridge describes the miraculous healing power of the blood, which can make the blind see, heal the sick, and free those who are bound in chains. The song ends with a declaration of faith and gratitude, as the singer acknowledges that their life and soul belong to Jesus.

This sure doesn't seem like the Rita . . . it reminds me of when Pizza Hut changed their pizza sauce. I noticed the difference, because it was my favorite!
