"I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever" is a popular Christian rock and worship song by the English rock band Delirious?. The song's popularity has reached far beyond the band's; CCLI places the song among the 30 most-sung worship songs in the United States of America[1]. According to Martin Smith, the author of the song:

"That song just wrote itself in about five minutes. The same chords the whole way through the song. I mean that's embarrassing really! It was just a little ditty. Did it at church. It was good but I don't think it really blew anybody away. It wasn't like, 'Oh Martin's written the most amazing song!' I still don't really think it is. But yes, that song, that moment changed our lives really. It's been one of the most sung songs in America and around the world. It's crazy really, this little ditty that we don't really do anymore. It's been great."[2]

Delirious? have released it several times in different forms. It was first recorded as the last track on Cutting Edge Two; in this incarnation, it was a six-minute soft pop song featuring extensive use of eBow and choir. Later, it was re-recorded for Deeper, the band's "d:finitive worship collection"; here, it became a full-blown rock ballad with gospel influences. A radio edit of this version was released as a single (see Single Release, below). A Spanish version of the original, translated as "Cantaré de Tu amor por siempre", appeared on the band's album Libertad.
