There are several Christian bands and artists that have released different version of songs called "Forever." Chris Tomlin and Michael W. Smith are the only ones that have released the same version.

The artists are ...

1. Chris Tomlin

If you're ready to listen to some old-style black gospel music with a sweet contemporary twist, Darwin Hobbs is just the man to deliver.

Found on the CD A Better Place

    From the ver moment I first met You
    I was captured by Your every word
    Lord, I'd be such a fool to forget You

While this entire CD had Third Day's Mac Powell sitting in as Executive Producer, it doesn't sound like a Third Day knock-off.

    I held on to the world too tight

    Front on your man T O N I to the C, don't even try to lie to me

Gospel Hip Hop is the style and beautifully done is the verdict. Full of life and love is how The Cross Movement delivers their version of "Forever."

    I see a hand reaching out to help me
    But I don't understand all of Your ways
    You are still the potter and I am just the clay
    And though I know at times I am too proud
