About “Forever - Live”
The song walks through Christ's crucifixion, the silence of the grave and the triumph of resurrection morning, ending in sustained praise. Jobe has said it grew out of a conversation with co-writer Brian Johnson about how Jesus will be lifted high and worshiped forever, an idea the writers connected to the throne-room scene of Revelation 5. This live version was recorded at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas in November 2013 and released on her album Majestic in March 2014.
