Forevertree's name is inspired by Psalms 1:3, "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."

Forevertree have been around since the late 90's in some form or another...having seen a tremendous positive response with their first cd "Turning"....endorsements from Jackson guitars, Seymour Duncan pickups and more...the band quickly started touring Canada in support of that CD gaining fans across the country......the band came off the road and started to work on their next CD "Alien"....at the time Forevertree went through some personal changes and "Alien" was put on hold.

Fast forward to 2009, with many avenues and situations explored one of the original members(Geoff) had felt in his heart that it was time to see if Forevertree could be once more!...Geoff, Dwayne and Jeff were back with new Drummer Ron Mellegers it was time for Forvertree to rise!....or was it?....unfortunately Jeff Miller was unable to commit anymore due to his current position as guitarist for Blissed. through an onslot of possible new guitarists and auditions Forevertree came to a halt......but not for long!!!

Long time friend and fellow musician Sean McGowan was eventually offered the spot as new guitarist for Forvertree, being in contact off and on over the years Geoff and Sean still had history together and lo and behold FOREVERTREE was reborn! Forvertree finally completed "Alien" in the year 2009 after almost a decade......fans eagerly gobbled up the new cd....they had been waiting a long time for this!!!. For the last half of the year Forevertree saw some amazing things happening within and around the band, Being on the NUMBER 1 Spot for over 3 mnths on the Christian hard rock radio station and finishing the year(2009) as the third most requested band of 2009 above such groups as skillet, flyleaf, Brian Head Welch (ex-Korn) this was an amazing accomplishment....not to mention being played on as many radio stations as possible in the states....with radio tracking in Nashville, opening for Stryper in Toronto september of 2009 and much more.

The new single "higher" has just been launched to radio and is progressively climbing the charts..Forvertree, now back better and harder than ever have begun production on their newest cd "ZOMBIE" with all the new members and are very excited and hopeful for the future. With "ZOMBIE" being more aggressive and in your face the band has also maintained the commercial side of the music always maintaining and uplifting their positive message......FOREVERTREE a new and fresh experience for the masses!!

GOD
Forevertree Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was your grace that undid me
I was lost but you found me
I hide my face and I look to you
I run the race I want to be like you

I want to fade away

All I say and all I do

God
Less of me and more of you
God
All I say all I do less of me and more

More and more and more and day by day
More like you in everyway
In my songs and in my words
The name of jesus will be heard

In his image I wanna be
Like the man from Galilee
