Christ Is Mine Forevermore - From One Degree to Another

In the month of May at Crestview, we’re going to be learning/singing the CityAlight song Christ Is Mine Forevermore by Jonny Robinson and Rich Thompson (CCLI # 7036096). Scott Cornish arranged this for us. Part of the reason in choosing this song is to be honest about the realities (and struggles) we have living life in this fallen world. Further, the heavenly vision that this song ends with is so helpful in stirring up our affections (in a good way) to really live the life we’ve been called to. I hope you resonate with it and it encourages you. Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus 3

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

Chorus 4

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

Bridge

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