Weeping is used to express the emotion of pure heartbreak and sadness. When the moon and stars weep, what could have happened that made something so powerful gloomy. The essence of “Forever” is ,”... a song that would bring glory to Jesus and paint the picture of the crucifixion again,” as stated by Kari herself. Born in Texas, Kari Jobe is a christian singer and songwriter. She poured her heart in the song, which was released back in 2014, to give it deep meaning. She was inspired by many worship songs she listened to at the time. It is evident to see that there are some verses that connect to the meaning of the song. One of them being Revelation 5:11-13, “ Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand …show more content…
Kari Jobe easily met the aims of her purpose by her poetic style of “Forever.” Kari communicated her conceptions in a poetic, yet materialistic style. She used the Bible, as well as her beliefs as a solid foundation for this song. A couple of the motives the song focused on,was giving a connotation of her thoughts of the crucifixion. These points were weeping, defeat, and forever. Her word choices were extremely accurate in illustrating the crucifixion’s significance. The world wept as the son was buried. Days later He had defeated darkness, and broke hell. Now He shall forever be glorified as our Father in heaven always and eternally. These words are more of points of agreement of what it means to listeners. Moving onto the chorus of “Forever,” it seemed that it was interpreted fairly. Kari’s points were clear and unbiased, meaning they could be backed up by primary sources, such as the Bible. She revealed her beliefs in more of a praise than argument. To explain the assimilation of the song, you know that
For instance, Mary Rowland believed God was omniscient because at times when they traveled through the wilderness, God continued to “renew her strength” and Mary Rowlandson was affirmed by His presence and power (73).

In the last stanza it is explained how, even when she was a child, she
She allows us to understand the duality of God. This concept was not new. The Old Testament prophets portrayed God as a loving mother nurturing, caressing, and comforting her children. Isaiah invokes God in labor giving birth while Psalms compares the femininity of the body and the creator.
The lyrics are very straightforward, and all the voices have similar texts which are dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Then, the poetry written on the piece by De Vitry has some biblical context as well; however, it seems to be more about a personal argument.

...uality, nature, anti-materialism and self-reliance. His music was purposed towards encouraging people to believe in their choices and decisions rather than believing in the teachings of societal institutions. Bob Marley criticized religion is an institution which instead of uniting people ends up separating them. He also warns people not to suffer in the name of going to even and live an afterlife. Rather, they should live in heaven on earth that is, they should be happy in their lives. Bob Marley’s song corresponds to transcendentalist who believed that people should not conform to the normal life patterns. Transcendentalists, just like Bob Marley, believed that one derives happiness from what he/she believes is right no matter what people think or the consequences. When one stands up for his/her rights, he/she does not follow what has been stipulated or instructed.
The second stanza starts off saying much the same thing. It expands upon the idea of wanting the Lord to mold his heart an...
Many subjects have been spoken of over the history human beings. For some time it may have a world war, at other times a great recession, in another day it would have been a very fast athlete, at others the final match of Champions League and many more. Yet in all these occurrences that grip the human mind for some time there is no occurrence more spoken than the crucifixion of a man called Jesus Christ (Zugibe 33). His crucifixion has even been a study for the entire lifetime of many people. Institutions have been built primarily for the purpose of studying this crucifixion. Some have said this crucifixion has changed their lives. Others have retorted that it has lifted off their worries. It is widely known and embraced. However, aside from all this, with all the goodness this man Jesus Christ is preached to have, many wonder why he would be killed on a cross.
Music has been relevant in Christianity since its beginnings. Some of the first music was written in Latin and they were called Hymns. “Hymn is a song of praise” (Van Camp) and were sung only by catholic churches. When Martin Luther led the Protestant Reformation and helped create Protestant Christianity, he began translating hymns into German. All around Europe people were translating hymns into different languages. These translations were brought over by European settlers coming to America and were used frequently in both Catholic and Protestant churches.
