Just Another Melodic Monday - Forever Jesus

"Forever Jesus" is the newly released song from writers Matt Papa and Stuart Townend.  

Here are the words from the video's description on YouTube:

"Little did we know, when we were crafting the last verse of this new hymn, how relevant the lyric would be to the times we are living in:

“My final breath shall be forever Jesus

When shadows lengthen before my eyes;

My Lord and Friend, companion through the valley

When dearest ones are left behind,

His hand will lead me to the light.”

Not only are so many of us facing the prospect of battling this awful virus that has claimed so many lives already. But loved ones, relatives and friends are literally having to "be left behind" as the ill are taken into hospital, because of the dangers of passing on the virus. How important, then, to be reminded that Christ is there to "lead us to the light" - whether that is the light of eventual recovery, or (and this is the reality) the light of His eternal presence.
Perhaps we are not keen to be reminded of the awfulness of the times in which we live in a song! But to know that we are completely held in His loving arms, and guided by His all-powerful hand, is so vital for every single one of us right now."

Just Another Melodic Monday - Worthy, Worthy

It's interesting that, in response to lockdown restrictions, so many churches are now recording songs of worship and putting them on YouTube.  It's an opportunity to hear Christian hymns and songs that are new to us.  "Worthy, Worthy" is a song I've not heard before which draws us to praise an infinite and awesome God who has made himself known to us.
