Song Meaning

Gaither Vocal Band ties eternal value to ordinary daily choices in "Now Is Forever" — "God's will for tomorrow may seem vague and grand, but it's built of the moments I hold in my hand." The song refuses to separate a large, abstract future from the small decisions actually available right now.

"My treasure in heaven is what I hold dear, the things that I value will show in the mirror" ties an internal priority directly to something externally visible, treating values as self-evident rather than private. "I'm building forever with choices I make" keeps the construction metaphor active and ongoing rather than a project already finished.

"The kingdom of heaven, I see wide awake" closes the song's central claim plainly — not a distant hope reserved for later, but something already in view now, built one present moment at a time rather than arriving all at once at the end.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Now is forever, forever starts here

My treasure in heaven is what I hold dear

The things that I value will show in the mirror

For now is forever, forever starts here

God’s will for tomorrow may seem vague and grand

But it’s built of the moments I hold in my hand

The kingdom of heaven, I see wide awake

I’m building forever with choices I make


Now is forever, forever starts here

My treasure in heaven is what I hold dear

The things that I value will show in the mirror

For now is forever, forever starts here


The things that I value will show in the mirror

Now is forever, and forever starts here
