Bluegrass Family Band Performs ‘Forever And Ever, Amen’ - Christian Music Videos

A group of skilled musicians expertly performed a beloved country track from Randy Travis.

Covers are always hard to do. Listeners will instinctually judge them against the original version. Most people already have deeply, fully formed and entrenched opinions on songs. Changing those long-held thoughts and ideas will be difficult, if not impossible. 

But one group of musicians – The Petersens – may have pulled off the impossible. Their version of a classic country track is different enough and is likely to win over people who still enjoy the original. 

In a video posted on YouTube, The Petersens play Randy Travis’s love song, “Forever and Ever, Amen.” Instead of playing a karaoke-type version of the 1980s country song, The Petersens changed the tune up a bit, making it their own. They play a bluegrass version, complete with a banjo, violin, guitar and cello. 

The young man playing the guitar also provides the lead vocals as the two young women on the banjo and violin lend their voices as well. They all turn in a terrific performance of the sweet love song, which promises to remain faithful forever.

Others who commented on the YouTube video also expressed their love of the Randy Travis cover.

“A wonderful way to continue my day was to listen to your fabulous rendition of this song. Made my day and lifted my spirits. May the Lord bless you all,” one person wrote.

“A lovely song performed by a wonderful family,” another person added.

“Excellent as always,” a third person posted. 

Regardless of whether you prefer the Randy Travis original or you are partial to The Petersens’ cover, most can agree the lyrics are moving and eloquently expresses a deep, enduring commitment to one person.

“Oh baby, I’m gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men”

Genesis 2:24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
