ANTHEM – “The Forever Filter”

[Intro]The world shakes, the headlines scream,But my heart won’t lose its dream.Through every shadow, through every fear,Heaven’s truth is crystal clear.

[Verse 1]When the headlines start to howl,And the world begins to spin,Fear creeps in with a smile,Whispering doubt beneath the din.But I lift my eyes to Heaven’s plan,Where faith outlasts the night,What looks like chaos down belowIs kingdom order in His light.

[Chorus]I see through the forever filter,Not the panic of the day.I choose faith when fear gets louder,I hear Heaven when the world’s afraid.Eternity is my perspective,And trust is my defense —Through the forever filter,I see His providence.

[Verse 2]They talk of shortages and storms,Of systems bound to fail,But manna still falls for the faithful,And grace still tips the scale.When the world runs on anxiety,And headlines steal the view,I rest in holy certainty —My God will see me through.

[Chorus]I see through the forever filter,Not the panic of the day.I choose faith when fear gets louder,I hear Heaven when the world’s afraid.Eternity is my perspective,And trust is my defense —Through the forever filter,I see His providence.

[Verse 3]When reason starts to crumble,And hearts begin to fade,The ones who live for foreverWill shine through the shade.The Helmet guards my vision,The Shield deflects the flame,I march beneath His banner —Unmoved, unashamed.

[Verse 4]Through trials, through the trembling,Through the dark before the dawn,My soul remembers victoryAnd sings, “The war is won.”The cross still casts its shadowAcross each fear and fight —Eternity keeps calling meTo walk in Heaven’s light.

[Bridge]No power, no panic, no policy can stand,Against the God who holds it all in His hand.Though nations tremble and kingdoms fall,Forever stands — above it all.

[Final Chorus]I see through the forever filter,The world can fade away.My heart beats to Heaven’s rhythm,My hope is here to stay.Eternity is my perspective,And faith is my defense —Through the forever filter,I see His providence.

[Outro]So when fear knocks, I won’t answer,When doubt calls, I won’t bend.For my life’s already hiddenIn the One who has no end.Through the forever filter,My heart remains steadfast and sure —For what is seen is fleeting…But what is unseen endures.

BATTLE CRY – “The Forever Filter”

I will not bow to fear or feed on panic.My mind is guarded by salvation,my faith raised like a shield.The world may shake, but Heaven stands firm.I live through the forever filter—seeing promise where others see pressure,purpose where others see pain.My focus is eternal, my footing secure,and my victory already written in Christ.
