Now Is Forever
Lauren Daigle's song 'Now Is Forever' is a reflective worship piece about surrendering control and longing for deeper union with God. The lyrics express a desire to see God's transformative power, to release both treasures and trials, and to hold only to the cross. The repeated plea to 'let forever end' and to know where the self ends and God begins captures a yearning for eternal perspective in the present moment. The song encourages the soul to awaken and remain in God's presence until time feels eternal, emphasizing themes of surrender, faith, and dependence on divine love.
I need to see You turn this water into wine
I need to see Your kingdom come with my own eyes
Take anything You want, I'll hand it over
Now what to hold and what to leave behind
I wanna let forever end
Show me the moment where I end and You begin
I wanna be where heaven is
Oh stay with me until now is forever
Take the treasure and the trial I cast them off
Till I am holding on to nothing but the cross
Depending on the love that won me over
Surrendering the right to keep control
I wanna let forever end
Show me the moment where I end and You begin
I wanna be where heaven is
Oh stay with me until now is forever
Awake, awake my soul
Awake 'til now
'Cause I have known
I wanna let forever end
I wanna let forever end
Show me the moment where I end and You begin
I wanna be where heaven is
Oh stay with me, stay with me
I wanna let forever end
Show me the moment where I end and You begin
I wanna be where heaven is
Oh stay with me until now is forever
