Arriving is the third studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Chris Tomlin, released on September 21, 2004 by sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Ed Cash. Arriving is Tomlin's breakthrough release and is considered a successful album as the contemporary worship boom of the 2000s thrives. The album contains two covers: The lead single "Indescribable" was originally recorded by its writer and Christian singer and songwriter Laura Story in 2003 and "Your Grace Is Enough" was originally recorded by Christian singer/songwriter/worship leader Matt Maher, though Tomlin rewrote the chorus compared to Maher's original version. But it was Tomlin's second single "Holy Is the Lord" that really put him and Arriving on the musical map as it served as the centerpiece of the album. Tomlin co-wrote it with songwriter and pastor Louie Giglio as the song's lyrical theme center entirely around adoration, divine majesty, and communal reverence. "Holy Is the Lord" climbed to number one on both Billboard and Radio & Records Christian AC charts and even topped R&R's Christian Inspo chart. The song would stay on the charts throughout 2005 and then was Gold certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2023. The third single "The Way I Was Made" peaked inside the Top 10 on R&R's Christian AC chart while "Holy Is the Lord" was still in the Top 5 on the same chart. However, it did not chart on the Billboard Christian music survey. The album's final single "How Great Is Our God" was a career defining contemporary worship song that was released at the beginning of 2006. The song’s verses and chorus draw deep inspiration from scripture, heavily echoing the descriptive language of Psalm 104. The lyrics weave through central Christian theology, touching on themes of eternity ("Age to age He stands"), the Trinity ("The Godhead Three in One"), and the dual nature of Christ ("The Lion and the Lamb"). It was number one across both Billboard and R&R's Christian music charts. The song has since been covered by numerous artists. Tomlin performed a new edition of the track entitled "How Great Is Our God: World Edition" at the 2012 Passion conference. This new version included the original lyrics sung in several different languages: English, Hindi, Indonesian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Zulu, Afrikaans and Mandarin. The song has also been adapted to be sung by small Christian choirs. It has won two Dove Awards taking the top prize for Song of the Year and Worship Song of the Year in 2006 and winning it again for Worship Song of the Year in 2008. "How Great Is Our God" was certified Double Platinum for sales of 2 million downloads by the RIAA in March 2026. Arriving arrived on the Billboard Top Christian Albums survey peaking at number 3 and at number 39 on the Billboard 200. It was one of the biggest selling albums throughout 2005 and 2006. It was Gold certified in 2006 and then Platinum certified in 2008. It was Tomlin's first million selling release. Tomlin won Dove Awards for this album in 2005 and 2006. As of 2008, "How Great Is Our God" is No. 1 and "Holy Is the Lord" is No. 7 on Christian Copyright Licensing International's (CCLI) Top 100 songs used in churches across the United States.

Christopher Dwayne Tomlin (born May 4, 1972) is an American contemporary Christian music singer, songwriter and worship leader from Grand Saline, Texas. Tomlin is one of the biggest selling acts in Christian music of the 2000s and 2010s. His recordings of some of the best well-known worship songs have become Gold-selling titles like "How Great Is Our God," "Holy Forever," "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)," "I Will Follow," "Holy Is the Lord" and many others. According to the Christian Copyright Licensing International, Tomlin is the most sung Christian artist in the United States. He was awarded Male Vocalist at the 2006 and 2007 Gospel Music Awards, and was named Artist of the Year in 2007. At the age of 13, Tomlin began singing at the Main Street Baptist church in Grand Saline. He wrote his first worship song at age fourteen. During high school, Tomlin learned to lead worship in his youth group. After graduating from Grand Saline High School in 1990, he entered Tyler Junior College (TJC) planning for a medical or physical therapy career. Tomlin graduated in 1992 and enrolled in Texas A&M University to study medicine. He grew active in a campus Christian group called Breakaway, where he became the worship leader. In 1994, Tomlin graduated from Texas A&M with a bachelor's degree in psychology. After college Tomlin participated as a worship leader at various camps in Texas, including Dawson McAllister Youth Conferences. While at Breakaway, Tomlin participated in a Bible study led by Choice Ministries founder Louie Giglio. In 1997, Tomlin partnered with Giglio to found Passion Conferences. Tomlin began his recording career in 1995 with his first independent album Inside Your Love. His next release was a collaboration with Todd Proctor entitled Shepherd Praise Volume 1: Fill Me Up in 1997 and then Authentic in 1998. In 2000, Tomlin signed with Sparrow Records through its association with the worship label sixstepsrecords which is a subsidiary of the Passion Conferences. His first nationally released album was The Noise We Make in 2001 featuring the song "Forever." Tomlin's second album Not to Us was released in 2002. His breakthrough third album was Arriving in 2004. The second single "Holy Is the Lord" climbed up to number 2 on the Billboard Christian music charts and then was Gold certified in 2023. Arriving was Tomlin's first album to chart on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and the Billboard 200 charts. Tomlin continued to release albums in the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s including three live albums and four Christmas albums. In 2013, Tomlin released Burning Lights and it debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200. It was the third number one album from a contemporary Christian artist top that chart.

On September 21, 2025, Tomlin led worship for the memorial service of Charlie Kirk held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The assassination of Charlie Kirk occurred in Utah on September 10, 2025. On July 1, 2026, Tomlin's performance at the United States Semiquincentennial event in Washington, D.C. was met with widespread ridicule due to a lack of fans and a mostly-empty event established by the White House Task Force on Celebrating America's 250th Birthday. Tomlin married Lauren Bricken on November 9, 2010 and they have three daughters.

Move is the 10th studio album by the Christian rock band Third Day, released on October 19, 2010 by Essential Records/Provident Music. Move is Third Day's first album since original guitarist Brad Avery left the band after recording their 2008 best seller Revelation. After Avery's departure, the band were at a musical crossroads; although they considered replacing Avery, they ultimately decided not to. After playing a few concerts without Avery, Third Day felt they needed to step it up musically. It was a departure from the modern rock stylings of Revelation and showing more of their southern rock roots. Third Day chose to work with producer Paul Moak on the album and recorded it at their own studio, The Quarry in Kennesaw, Georgia, feeling it offered them more creative freedom. Move also has significant influence from gospel music. The album was also recorded at The Smokestack in Nashville, Tennessee. "Lift Up Your Face" was the lead single and was released to digital formats and Christian radio on July 11, 2010. Lyrically, it was written by lead singer Mac Powell, but was composed by Third Day with brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart of the American rock band Needtobreathe. Bassist Tai Anderson recalls that "We got together in their home studio and had a jam session that went with Mac's idea of a song based on the idea of 'lift up your head' from the Psalms... By working with another 'southern' rock band from South Carolina, we got to show our Georgia roots musically with a "gospel" sound"; he further noted that "the big message of the song is 'salvation is calling.'" The track features backing vocals by the American gospel group The Blind Boys of Alabama. The song peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Christian AC Airplay chart and at number 12 on the Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts. Move's other highlight is the title song "Make Your Move." Released as the third single, the song was sent specifically to Christian CHR radio. "Make Your Move" is a southern rock track that features a heavy kick drum and grunge-influenced chorus, while the vocals are distorted during the bridge and take on a muffled effect. Lyrically, the song depicts evangelism for the perspective of a non-believer. It only peaked at number 43 on the Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts. Both "Children of God" and "Trust In Jesus" went Top 10 on the Billboard Christian music charts throughout 2011. A deluxe edition of Move was also released as an enhanced CD containing a bonus track entitled "Come On Down," a Moak Mix of "Lift Up Your Face" and video content. Move was Third Day's fourth and final Top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number 10 while on the Top Christian Albums survey, it was their fifth chart topper. It also peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Rock Albums chart. In 2011, Third Day was nominated for two Dove Awards for Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year and Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for "Lift Up Your Face." The album cover won a technical Dove Award for Recorded Music Packaging of the Year, awarded to David McClister for photography, Beth Lee for art direction and Tim Parker for design. Third Day collected their ninth and final Gold certified album nearly seven years later in January 2017 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Third Day was an American Christian rock band formed in Marietta, Georgia in 1991. The band was founded by lead singer Mac Powell, guitarist Mark Lee and Billy Wilkins. The band's name is a reference to the biblical accounts of the resurrection of Jesus on the "third day" following His crucifixion. The band was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame on September 19, 2009. They have sold over 7 million albums in the United States and had 28 number one Christian album chart radio hits. Their fans are known as "Gomers" after a song on their second album about Gomer, who is the wife the prophet Hosea, mentioned in the Bible in the Book of Hosea. They dissolved in 2018 following a farewell tour and reunited in 2025 for a 30th anniversary tour in 2026. During their career, Third Day has won four Grammy Awards and 25 Dove Awards. In 1991, high-schoolers Mac Powell and Mark Lee formed Third Day as a Christian music group with pianist Billy Wilkins. At a 1992 event at Lee's Church, Third Day performed alongside a band called the Bullard Family Singers, which featured David Carr and Tai Anderson. Third Day invited Carr and Anderson to join them shortly after. In 1993, the band started playing more frequently in the Atlanta region in order to make money to record an album. Wilkins left the group in order to pursue his teaching career. Third Day recorded at Furies Studios in Atlanta and with the production help of Carr, Long Time Forgotten was released in 1993, producing and selling 2,000 copies. In 1994 the band brought on a second guitarist, August McCoy on electric guitar. That same year, the band's second album, Contagious, was self-financed for $3,000 and recorded at Furies Studios. 1,000 CDs and cassette copies of the demo were released. Later that year, August McCoy exited the band to go to college. Also, later that year, while playing in Marietta, at the Strand Theatre, the owners offered the band a contract to sign with new independent record label Gray Dot Records. The band released the album Third Day, which sold 20,000 copies. Shortly after, Reunion Records bought out their Gray Dot contract and signed the band to a multi-album deal. In 1995, the band started looking for another second guitarist. After hearing Brad Avery play with singer Chris Carder, Avery was asked to audition. After playing "Consuming Fire" during the first rehearsal, Avery was officially asked to join the band. Reunion Records released the now official version of Third Day, which has sold over 300,000 copies and was well received by critics. The album also yielded their only mainstream rock radio hit in the U.S., "Nothing at All," which peaked at No. 34 on the Billboard rock charts. Later in 1996, Christian music headliner Newsboys asked Third Day to open for them at five West Coast shows. The band also launched their own 65-city tour with All Star United and Seven Day Jesus opening for them. In 1997, the band was nominated for a Dove Award in the category of New Artist of the Year and their video for "Consuming Fire" directed by Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer won a Billboard Music Award in the category of Best Christian Video. The video was shot on location in Bombay Beach, California and other places around the Salton Sea. This experience and discovering Leonard Knight's Salvation Mountain nearby later inspired the album artwork for the band's album Revelation. In 1997, the band started working on their second album, Conspiracy No. 5. The album was produced by Sam Taylor, who had previously worked with King's X and other Christian bands. The album was nominated for a Grammy and won Dove Awards for Rock Album of the Year and Rock Recorded Song of the Year for the track "Alien." The following year, the band toured around the United States, both alone and again opening for Newsboys. Also in 1998, the band recorded a cover of Michael W. Smith's "Agnus Dei" for his Dove Award-winning compilation worship project Exodus. In 1998, Third Day started work on their next album Time with producer Monroe Jones. Time earned the band their second Grammy nomination and won them another Dove Award. Some of the songs that were recorded for possible inclusion in the album, but left out during production, are on the EP Southern Tracks. During the band's live shows they included a significant portion of worship music, prompting the band to release an album made up exclusively of worship songs. The subsequent album Offerings: A Worship Album took about a week to record. In 2000, to support both Time and Offerings, Third Day went on tour alongside female rock singer - songwriter Jennifer Knapp. Later in the same year, the band collaborated on the project City on a Hill: Songs of Worship and Praise with FFH, Caedmon's Call, SonicFlood, Jars of Clay, and others. In 2001, the band played in Australia and New Zealand on the heels of the success of the Offerings album. While touring in the US, Third Day recorded a concert attended by 15,000 fans at the HiFi Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta to be released as their first DVD, The Offerings Experience. Third Day won more Dove Awards and, additionally, Grammy Awards throughout the 2000s. More albums were released in the 2000s: Come Together, Offerings II: All I Have to Give, Wire, Wherever You Are, Christmas Offerings and Revelation. The band entered the 2010s with Move, Miracle and Lead Us Back: Songs of Worship. Then in 2017, Third Day celebrated their 25th anniversary with their final studio album Revival. On March 2, 2018, Third Day announced a farewell tour with 12 shows and then later expanded to 20 shows. They performed their final show in Denver, Colorado on June 27, 2018. In June 2025, the band announced that they would regroup with the lineup of Powell, Lee, Carr, and Anderson to celebrate their 30th anniversary with a tour which began March 2026, emphasizing that the tour would not produce a reunion, just the band playing their greatest hits of their Christian radio and worship songs. On June 12, 2026, Third Day was featured in a new re-imagined recording of TobyMac's track "Campfire (That Very Love)" and released as a non-album digital track.
