Chris Tomlin Releases Live Version of ‘Holy Forever’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Chris Tomlin recently released a live-performance recording of his Grammy-nominated song “Holy Forever.”
This live recording, posted to Tomlin’s YouTube page, was filmed during this year’s Good Friday Nashville concert. Tomlin is joined in the performance by Bethel Music’s Jenn Johnson and Brian Johnson.
“Holy Forever” has remained popular since it was released last Fall. It has since topped 4.5 million streams on Spotify and has been sung by churches across the world every week.
“Song are like arrows out of the bow… reaching places far beyond what I would imagine,” Tomlin said. “I definitely feel that Holy Forever is one of those arrows. It’s an honor to be a part of a song like this… that reminds us all of the greater story… the song of heaven! I love hearing how this song is finding its way among gatherings large and small around the world.”
This year’s Good Friday Nashville continued to bring hope to the Nashville area for the seventh consecutive year. This year’s concert included special guests Jenn and Brian Johnson, along with Blessing Offor, CeCe Winans, and the Tennessee State University choir. Pastor Max Lucado also delivered an Easter message.
Movieguide® previously reported on Tomlin’s music:
Chris Tomlin recently shared the details behind his upcoming album, Always, and what he hopes the music does for its listeners.
When asked about the title of the album, Tomlin replied, “I love that word. When I think about that word, when you think about worship, and the one word ‘always’ how powerful that…it says so much.”
“There’s not a lot of things in our life that are ‘always.’ Most things end. Many things fail in this world,” he explained. “What I love about this song of worship and this record is that, once again, pointing people and reminding people that there is an ‘always’ God. He is faithful.”
“One of my favorite scriptures says ‘God is faithful, even when we are faithless, because He cannot deny Himself,’” Tomlin shared.
Tomlin has shared three songs from the upcoming album: “Always,” “Holy Forever,” and “O Lord, You’re Beautiful.”
“This record is really full-circle, it’s the heart and core of who I am,” the artist said of his new music. “It’s just trying to help people sing and worship God and give a voice to help people worship God.”
When asked about what he hopes to achieve with his new music, Tomlin replied, “To me, music is about — and writing these songs, is helping people see, more than helping people sing.”
“That’s what I hope,” he concluded. “That their eyes are opened again, like, ‘Oh, I see God’s mercy. I see His holiness. I see that He is faithful when I am not.’ That’s what I hope these songs do.”
