In these weeks of summer, we are returning to the theme of “Sing Your Way Through the Summer.” Today we reflect on the words to the popular song by Chris Tomlin, “Holy Forever.” Take some time to listen to this song. (You can find it HERE.) Then, turn the lyrics into expressions of personal, specific prayer during your time with the Lord. You can also use this guide in your family time, small group, or even an upcoming church service.
