MARTIN SMITH, JOSH BALDWIN “I COULD SING OF YOUR LOVE FOREVER”

Artist, songwriter, producer and modern worship pioneer Martin Smith is joined by Gold-certified singer, songwriter and worship leader Josh Baldwin on the new expression of “I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever.” Available now at streaming and digital outlets worldwide from The Fuel Music via https://slinky.to/ICouldSingOfYourLoveForever, the song is the third single from the full-length, Billboard-featured House of Worship album, slated for release in January 2026.

Helping to define an entire era of modern worship in the ’90s, “I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever” continues to bridge generations today. The reimagined worship anthem continues to champion the message of God’s endless love for people while introducing a new sound accessible to listeners worldwide.

The story of the song began in the small village of Littlehampton on the south coast of England, where Smith led worship for a monthly youth event called Cutting Edge. Not knowing anything about the burgeoning Christian music industry in America, his focus was on the 1,000 kids who showed up every month. “That was our world,” he remembers. “And every month it was like, ‘Okay, God, what are you going to say? What do you want us to sing next month? I need another song to put on the lips of these kids that are coming.’ And they weren’t just church kids; it was open for everybody.”

It was out of this movement that drew as many as 10,000 young people for special events that “I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever” was birthed. “I remember getting this plastic swimming pool and kids were coming down front, getting baptized in the moment,” shares Smith. “We’re worshipping and like, right, you’ve just got saved, in you go. … amazing memories.”

“I started playing guitar in high school, and there were all these songs that were just very piano-driven,” says Baldwin. “And I remember, specifically, ‘I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever’ opened the door for me. It was the first time I’d heard spontaneous worship recorded … and I was like, ‘we can do that?’ It just gave me permission to worship that way.”

“I think now we’re in an interesting moment in history in the church where that permission needs to be given again,” responds Smith. “I don’t think God’s ever said once, ‘This is the sound that I like.’ And yet, we’ve tricked ourselves into thinking we’ve found what He really likes. But I don’t think you find that in scripture. It’s like, ‘Make a holy noise.’ So I think there’ll be some new things that come along. And I think we’ll be glad for that.”

The ‘holy noise’ of “I Want To Sing Of Your Love Forever” follows the House of Worship lead single and video, “Shout To The Lord – Live,” a duet of this global worship anthem by original writer and Dove Award-winning, RIAA Gold®-selling Australian worship pioneer Darlene Zschech and 17-time GRAMMY® Award-winning gospel icon CeCe Winans. The second single and video from the project, released last month, “Here I Am To Worship – Live,” the No. 1 most popular song sung in churches for two consecutive years (2003 and 2004), features the song’s Dove Award-winning writer, Tim Hughes, and four-time GRAMMY®-nominated Cody Carnes.

Following the release of the album, a one-of-a-kind House of Worship event is set to stream Feb. 1, 2026, in partnership with The Fuel Music and in:ciite® Events.
