Best known for their hook infused pop-rock sound and refreshing lyrics, Fervent Records' Dove Award-winning band By The Tree released their highly anticipated fifth album entitled World On Fire on September 26th.
Following the success of the group's previous album, Hold You High, which featured the No. 1 radio hit "Beautiful One," World On Fire showcases By The Tree's signature style and delivers the band's most mature work to date. Produced by Dwayne Larring (formerly of SONICFLooD), the album lyrically centers on the need for God and allowing His light and love to radiate through people to share with the world.
"The past year and a half has been a time of growth for us," shares Aaron Blanton, lead singer for By The Tree. "We have seen God build, protect, restore and cover us. With the release of World On Fire, there is a coming message of desperation: The need for God."
The first single and title track from World On Fire released to radio on July 14th and the music video for their first single was released in August.
At the retail level, the enhanced CD includes features such as a guitar instructional video, the "World On Fire" music video as well as B-roll footage of the band in the studio.
Hey Guys!!! Thank you for adding me as your friend! When are you guys coming to California? Cause I haven't been to one of your concerts and I really want to go.
Just wanted to drop in and say thanks. I met some amazing friends through the old bythetree. org boards and I just got back from California after being in one of those friends weddings! Through you guys, my life has changed in so many positive ways. Thanks!
Hello friend We just wanted to share a prayer and encouragement your way! Dear Lord, help us to learn to rejoice in our sufferings, because we know suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Today we pray that we will become a people of extreme perseverance, not letting difficulties and delays discourage us. We ask especially for persistence that will build our character and give us hope when we are in a “holding pattern” of waiting for things to happen or improve. Help us see that it is actually easier for us to persevere than to live with the regret of having given up hope. Thank you for your gift of perseverance. Amen
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. ROMANS 5:3-4 Have a blessed and persevering day In love and prayer, Arlene and Rick
