Nancy Gordon is a well published modern song writer with over 300 published songs to her credit since 1987.  Dennis Allen and James (Jimbo) Stevens have a multitude of published arrangements and compositions.  All three artist have at various times been teamed with other well known modern artists to churn out usable and doable arrangements for church services.

As is the case with many modern texts it is a poem that appears to have grown out of the writer’s personal life and experiences with the Lord and is drawn from scripture or scripture themes.  A search at Biblegateway.com for the phrase “Eternal Praise” did not turn up a direct match, but the following was found utilizing the search words “praise forever”.  I encourage you to use these verses in meditation upon eternal praise to our Lord.
