Tree63 is a Contemporary Christian Music band from Durban, South Africa.
The band was formed in 1996 and originally, it was unnamed. In 1997, the band had to come up with a name before performing at North Beach, Durban, and came up with "Tree". They added the "63" part of their name in 2000 due to a naming conflict with an American band.63 had been the name of their second album, which was named in reference to Psalm 63.
Their first album released in the United States, Tree63, won the GMA Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year in 2001.
Tree63's recording of Matt Redman's "Blessed Be Your Name" helped to spark the song's popularity. This recording was featured on the 2005 edition of WOW Hits and was nominated for two Dove Awards. On a 2 February 2007 broadcast of 20, The Countdown Magazine (special edition, Praise and Worship), guest Chris Tomlin described Tree63's rendition of "Blessed Be Your Name" as "...the definitive recording of one of the most all-encompassing songs in the entire world of Christian music." The song was then announced as the number 3 Praise and Worship song of all time.
Come on in and take me on an override
Stuck inside and up all night at Dave's
Trouble's far away, Mother's in the cage
Nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
Close the door and pull the shades and climb the walls
Feel medicine heal the lines of age
I'm here and now I'm gone, I'm there and far beyond
Nothin's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
And nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
I'm on the wire, over and higher
Over the pretense, over the spire
On and connected
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Breathe and take in and gently blow it on
Drink it down and swallow hard and gaze
Hold the potion up, stare your shadow down
Remember to forget and then rename your shame
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
I'm on the wire, over and higher
Over the pretense, over the spire
On and connected
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating
