Third week of song recommendations – this week’s pick is my favorite “worship song discovery” for 2010 (looking for new songs to lead next year). This song is a little obscure – definitely not very popular right now, but I think its an amazing song.
I can’t find the lyrics/chords for the song online, and I can only find a live recording of the song at a worship conference, and it only has verse 2, but here it is: Eddie Kirkland – Forever Changed

An album release of the song can be found on the North Point Live 3 Awake CD. (North Point is a church in Atlanta… Steve Fee’s church)
Since I can’t find chords for the song I guess ultimately I’ll have to tab it out myself… so I may as well start with the lyrics, and you guys can double check for me 😉

Verse 1:
I have built with my hands all the walls that hold me in,
I have wandered my way in the desert.
I have struggled against all the blessings you have sent,
and I am back to the place of surrender.

Pre-Chorus:
Lord You meet me here in my darkest hour
And You stirred my heart with Your love

Chorus:
Forever, I am changed by mercy
Forever my heart is alive
Forever, I am Yours my Savior
Forever my hope is Christ

Verse 2:
Tears are sweet as they fall, mercy rushes through my soul
Bowing low as you wash me with healing.
Lord, you’ve sealed me with grace
Life eternally sustained, by the hope in my soul You’re revealing

Bridge:
The power of sin is broken I have been set free
For I have died and Jesus is alive in me
