GOD OF MY YOUTH I REMEMBER
YOUR CALL ON MY LIFE TOOK ME O'ER
YOUR LOVE HAS SEEN ME THROUGH ALL MY DAYS
I STAND HERE BY YOUR GRACE

ON THIS ALTAR I'VE WRITTEN MY LIFE
TELL OF THE STORY I HAVE WITH YOU
MY LORD I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW

GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I'M WITH YOU
MY LIFE IS SAVED WITH A PRICE
YOUR SACRIFICE REDEEMED MY SOUL
GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I WILL SING
MY GREATEST HONOR WILL ALWAYS BE
TO SERVE MY LORD AND KING

GOD OF MY LIFE I SURRENDER
MY HEART FINDS ITS REST IN YOUR WORD
PRAISES WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO SHOW
HOW MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS GROWN

NOTHING MATTERS WHEN YOU'RE HERE WITH ME
IN THE END JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY “WELL DONE”
BOWING BEFORE YOUR THRONE

FOREVER AND EVER
JESUS YOU ALONE IN GLORY REIGN
FOREVER AND EVER
WITH YOU I'LL WALK THIS NARROW WAY

The first time i hear this song, iwas so touched by it that i almost wept. Wad a beautiful song it is, though the lyrics are simple without using any bombastic words, but this song truly express how a person long so much for the presence of God and how wonderful He is in our life.

There are two phraes that truly touches my heart when i hear this song; firstly, its the verse 'IN THE END JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY “WELL DONE” '. During our walk with God, we know that whatever things we done, His will for us is to walk in His ways and obey His commandments, and how wonderful a feeling it is when at the end of the day, after puttin in so much effort and hard work, when God finally praise you by saying "well done son, u have done a grt work in ur life". Truly, pleasing and glorifying God is the aim of my life, but at times, it is so difficult to do things to its best, but able to hear a 'well done' from God will motivate me to use my talents and gift to do His work even though the future may seem bleak and do not know what it holds.

The 2nd verse that touches me is "GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I WILL SING". Even though this verse may seem so simple where we always say God is our forever, but how many of us really mean it in our heart?Do we really place Him at the top of our priorites in lives and that whatever things we do, we place Him at the top and other things come in 2nd?To me, God plays really a very impt part in my life and it is He who make me who i am today, but at times, i find it hard just to forsake some things that is so impt to me juz to place Him as my priorities. And how do we sing forever that He is God of our forever?When we begin to sing, it is not just pure voices coming out of our mouths, but as we begin to sing, it is out of our inner being, for out of the inward comes the outward and the inward truly reflects who we really are and what our beliefs are. So in our everyday lives as we begin to sing that He is our foever, it is really living the life that God wans us to live; by making full use out of everyday, by living the purpose that He has for us, by doing things that at the end of the day will bring glory to Him. This song has really moivate and convict me to live a life that is really for God, not just passing by each day without purpose, but instead to live a life that bear fruits that as the bible says, whatever things i do, gif due thanks and glory to Him.
