Longer
Amy Grant's song "I Have Decided" is a love song that expresses enduring commitment and devotion. The lyrics use vivid imagery of nature—oceans, birds, stars, mountains, and forests—to convey the depth and longevity of love. The song speaks of a relationship that grows stronger over time, with references to seasons and the aging process, yet the love remains constant. While it is a romantic song, it carries a spiritual undertone, reflecting themes of faithfulness and steadfastness that resonate with Christian values. The song is not explicitly religious but is performed by a Christian artist, and its message of enduring love can be interpreted in both human and divine contexts.
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings
Through the years, as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you
