About I Could Sing of Your Love Forever

"I Could Sing of Your Love Forever" is a popular Christian rock and worship song by the English contemporary Christian band Delirious?. The song's popularity has reached far beyond the band's; CCLI places the song among the 30 most-sung worship songs in the United States and has been called a "modern worship classic". According to Martin Smith, the author of the song: "That song just wrote itself in about five minutes. The same chords the whole way through the song. I mean that's embarrassing really! It was just a little ditty. Did it at church. It was good but I don't think it really blew anybody away. It wasn't like, 'Oh Martin's written the most amazing song!' I still don't really think it is. But yes, that song, that moment changed our lives really. It's been one of the most sung songs in America and around the world. It's crazy really, this little ditty that we don't really do anymore. It's been great."Delirious? have released it several times in different forms. It was first recorded as the last track on Cutting Edge 2; in this incarnation, it was a six-minute soft pop song featuring extensive use of eBow and choir. Later, it was re-recorded for Deeper, the band's "d:finitive worship collection"; here, it became a full-blown rock ballad with gospel influences. A radio edit of this version was released as a single (see Single Release, below). A Spanish version of the original, translated as "Cantaré de Tu amor por siempre", appeared on the band's album Libertad.

Over the mountains and the sea
Your river runs with love for me
And I will open up my heart
And let the healer set me free

I'm happy to be in the truth
And I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing 
Of when our love came down

Over the mountains and the sea
Your river runs with love for me
And I will open up my heart
And let the healer set me free

I'm happy to be in the truth
And I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing 
Of when our love came down

I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever 

Over the mountains and the sea
Your river runs with love for me
And I will open up my heart
And let the healer set me free

I'm happy to be in the truth
And I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing 
Of when our love came down

I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever 

I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever 

Oh, I feel like dancing
It's foolishness I know, yeah
But when the world has seen the light
They will dance with joy 
Like we're dancing now

I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever 

I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever 

Just the church
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
