Some love stories are too beautiful to keep to yourself. That’s exactly why Steven Curtis Chapman chose to share his newest song, “Forever the Love of My Life,” with the world—starting with an intimate, unforgettable first performance at Colorado Christian University (CCU) on February 7.

Written as a tender tribute to his wife, Mary Beth, this song was originally a birthday gift—one filled with gratitude, memories, and the deep, abiding love that has carried them through nearly 40 years of marriage. But as Chapman reflected on their journey together, he realized this song wasn’t just for them. It was for anyone who has ever known the gift of a love that stands the test of time, a love that echoes God’s faithfulness.
As Chapman took the stage at CCU, the room fell silent. Then, with every lyric, every note, he painted a picture of devotion—of laughter and tears, of promises kept, of a love story written by God Himself. When he strummed the final chord, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.
“Forever the Love of My Life” is more than a song—it’s an anthem for every husband, every wife, every couple who believes in love that lasts forever. And in its melody, we hear a greater truth: this love is a reflection of Christ’s unwavering, everlasting love for us—a love that never fades, never fails, and never lets go.
