Song Meaning

CityAlight's “Christ Is Mine Forevermore” is a hymn-style song in which each verse starts with something that belongs to the singer and ends with something that belongs to Christ. The first verse begins, “Mine are days that God has numbered, I was made to walk with Him, yet I look for worldly treasure and forsake the King of kings.” The turn is the line “But mine is hope in my Redeemer, though I fall, His love is sure.”

The second verse takes up sorrow: “Mine are tears in times of sorrow, darkness not yet understood,” answered by “peace that flows from heaven” and the confidence that “my pain will not be wasted.” The third describes life as “a stranger, pilgrim on a narrow way,” with armor “strong enough to last the war” and delivery “safely to the golden shore.” The last verse says the singer holds “keys to Zion city” where his heart “has found its treasure,” and the refrain repeats, “Christ is mine forevermore.”

Numbered days recall Psalm 90:12. Nothing separating the believer from Christ is Romans 8:38-39, and life as a stranger and pilgrim is Hebrews 11:13.

Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings

But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall, his love is sure
For Christ has paid for every failing
I am his forevermore

Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good

But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes his work in me

Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for his name

But mine is armour for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And he has said he will deliver
Safely to the golden shore

And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

Come rejoice now, O my soul
For his love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore

And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
Christ is mine forevermore
