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. Tomlin has toured with many contemporary Christian artists, such as Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, and MercyMe. Tomlin left sixstepsrecords in 2015 and signed to Capitol Records CMG and River Music Holdings in 2016. 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.

Never Lose Sight is the ninth studio album by Christian singer/songwriter/ worship leader Chris Tomlin, released on October 21, 2016 by sixsteps- records/Sparrow Records/Capitol Christian Music Group. Tomlin's long- time producer Ed Cash produced five tracks with Jeremy Edwardson producing a majority of the album and Ross Copperman producing two tracks. The album's main highlight is the lead single "Good Good Father." It was originally released as a stand alone track on digital platforms and sent to Christian radio on October 2, 2015. The track was original recorded by the American Christian worship band Housefires and was written by its members Tony Brown and Pat Barrett and produced by Copperman. Tomlin recorded his version and it became a very popular worship song. The lyrics focus on the character of God as a loving, perfect parent and the identity of believers as children who are unconditionally loved. "Good Good Father" climbed to the top of the Christian music charts on Billboard, where it was No. 1 on the Hot Christian Songs chart for 7 weeks in February 2016 and at No. 1 on the Christian Airplay chart for a week. The song also charted on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart where it peaked at No. 13. "Good Good Father" was certified Gold in 2016, Platinum in 2018 and then Double Platinum in September 2021 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of two million downloads. It is Tomlin's top streamed song on Spotify with more than 260 million. At the 47th GMA Dove Awards, "Good Good Father" was named Song of the Year and awarded to Brown and Barrett for writing the song. It was also nominated for Worship Song of the Year. Despite its success, the song has been criticized for being "not identifiably Christian, completely narcissistic, and poor poetry." Other singles were also released including "Jesus," which was released in July 2016, just three months prior to the album's release date and "Home," which was released after in October 2016. The song "Home" peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart for 3 weeks in June 2017 and was later Gold certified in January 2023. Featured guest artists on Never Lose Sight are American Christian singer and American Idol finalist Danny Gokey, Christian singer/worship leader Kim Walker-Smith, Matt Maher, Matt Redman and Jason Ingram. The album was released in two variations: the regular 11-track standard version and the deluxe version with three extra bonus tracks including the final track "Kyrie Eleison," which in Greek means "Lord, have mercy" and features vocals by Tomlin, Maher, Redman and Ingram. Never Lose Sight was Tomlin's seventh No. 1 album on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart where it topped for a week and it peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. The album sold 32,000 copies in its first week, with 30,000 of it based on pure album sales. Never Lose Sight was Tomlin's most recent Gold-certified album on August 29, 2022. On October 20, 2017, the album was named Worship Album of the Year at the 48th GMA Dove Awards. Track listing on the Deluxe Edition 1. Good Good Father (Tony Brown, Pat Barrett) -4:53 2.

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. In August 2026, Third Day announced the final leg of their 30th Anniversary Tour with special guest Zach Williams plus Scout And The Saints for 24-city spring dates. It will kick off in Clarksville, Tennessee on April 1, 2027 and will wrap up in Beaumont, Texas on June 9, 2027.

Love Ran Red is the eighth studio album by Christian singer/songwriter/ worship leader Chris Tomlin, released on October 27, 2014 by sixsteps- records/Sparrow Records with distribution by Capitol Christian Music Group. The album was produced by Ed Cash. Love Ran Red features with a blend of guitar, keyboards, and drums that captures his signature modern worship style while incorporating elements of minimalist pop and gospel-funk and pretty much continues his themes as heard from his previous best seller, 2013's Burning Lights. The album's centerpiece is the third single "At the Cross (Love Ran Red)." The track focuses heavily on redemption and grace and is an airplay favorite during the Easter season. It topped Billboard's Christian Airplay chart for two weeks in October 2015. "At the Cross" was Gold certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in October 2019. Prior to "At the Cross," two other singles were released: "Waterfall" was the lead single released to Christian radio and digital formats in April 2014 and was a Top 10 hit on both Billboard's Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts. The second single "Jesus Loves Me" was a Top 5 hit on both Billboard Hot Christian Songs and Christian AC Airplay charts and hit No. 1 on the Christian Airplay chart for two weeks in February 2015. Love Ran Red gave Tomlin his fifth chart topper on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart for two weeks. Over on the Billboard 200, it peaked at No 8. It is Tomlin's third Top 10 album on the latter chart. After five straight Gold and Platinum releases, plus his Gold-selling compilation album How Great Is Our God, Love Ran Red was not certified, but has contributed significantly to Tomlin's career total of 7 million albums sold worldwide. Tomlin kicked off the Love Ran Red Tour in February 2015 with the Irish Christian worship folk band Rend Collective and the American Christian pop/rock band Tenth Avenue North. The second leg of the tour featuring Rend Collective started in Nashville, Tennessee in late 2015 and included 20 other cities and wrapped in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the fall of 2015, Tomlin was nominated for four Dove Awards including Contemporary Christian Artist of the Year and in 2016, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. Love Ran Red was available in three variations: the regular 12-track standard CD, a deluxe edition containing four extra tracks and an exclusive edition that was sold at Target stores containing the four extra tracks from the deluxe edition and one exclusive track "Hymn for America." An exclusive edition was also sold on 2 CDs with the second disc featuring eight live tracks from the Burning Lights Tour. Track listing for the Deluxe Edition 1.

Burning Lights is the seventh studio album by Christian singer/songwriter/ worship leader Chris Tomlin, released on January 8, 2013 by sixstepsrecords/ Sparrow Records. After the release of his 2010 album And If Our God Is For Us... and subsequent tour, Tomlin took a year off in 2012 to record his next project Burning Lights. The album was produced by Jason Ingram with Dan Muckala co-producing on a couple of tracks and Ed Cash producing three songs. Tomlin continues to write songs that connect people to the heart of Jesus and lead them to a greater worship of Him. Only two singles were released to promote Burning Lights: "Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)" and "God's Great Dance Floor." The former was released back in November 2012 and serves as a signature song and is now sung in churches worldwide. Written by Tomlin, producer Cash and his brother Scott Cash, "Whom Shall I Fear" is heavily rooted from scripture, particularly Psalm 27:1 ("The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?"). The song focuses on God's ultimate protection. It serves as a reminder that no matter what darkness, enemies, or challenges a person faces, the "God of Angel Armies" is always standing by their side. "Whom Shall I Fear" was an immediate hit on Christian radio and topped the Billboard Christian music charts across the board, also peaking at No. 11 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 and at No. 15 on the Heatseekers Songs charts. The song stayed on the charts for well over a year. The latter single, "God's Great Dance Floor," was another Top 10 hit on the Billboard Christian music charts. The track was written by Tomlin, former Delirious? lead singer Martin Smith and Nick Herbert. Unlike the typical slow- building worship ballads, "God's Great Dance Floor" was heavily influenced by Electronic Dance Music (EDM). The lyrics tell the story of someone running far away, breaking down, and returning to a welcoming father who responds not with anger, but by throwing a massive celebratory party. The "dance floor" represents the immense freedom, life, and joy found in experiencing total forgiveness. Inspired by the biblical parable of The Prodigal Son. The album also features Christian hip hop artist Lacrae ("Awake My Soul"), Kari Jobe ("Crown Him (Majesty)"), Christy Nockels ("Jesus, Son of God") and Phil Wickham ("Thank You God For Saving Me") as guest artists. Burning Lights not only topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums, it topped the Billboard 200. It is the third CCM album to top the latter chart, following Bob Carlisle's 1997 release Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace) and TobyMac's 2012 album Eye On It. Burning Lights sold 73,000 copies in its first week. It fell to No. 22 a week later, making it the 7th album to drop from No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as of January 2017. In October 2013, Tomlin won a Dove Award for Praise & Worship Album of the Year at the 44th GMA Dove Awards, in addition to nominations for Song of the Year, Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year. In 2014, Tomlin was nominated in two Grammy categories: Best Contemporary Christian Music Song for "Whom Shall I Fear" and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded Tomlin with a Gold record in 2016 and his single "Whom Shall I Fear" with a Gold certification in 2014 and then a Platinum certification in 2019.

Hello Love is the fifth studio album by Christian singer/songwriter/ worship leader Chris Tomlin, released on September 2, 2008 by sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Ed Cash. Hello Love features a collection of praise and worship anthems designed for both personal reflection and congregational worship. The lead single "Jesus Messiah" was released to both Christian radio and on digital formats on July 2008 to precede to album. The song made history upon its release, capturing 97 radio station adds on its first day—marking the biggest add date in Christian radio history at the time. "Jesus Messiah" is widely praised by theologians and worship leaders because it condenses heavy scriptural truths—such as Christ's humility, substitutionary atonement, communion, and redemption—into an accessible, singable melody. The song climbed to the Top 5 on both Billboard and Radio & Records (R&R) Christian AC charts, and on R&R's Christian Inspo chart, it hit number one where it stayed there for nine consecutive weeks. In 2009, "Jesus Messiah" was nominated for Worship Song of the Year and in May 2020, it was Gold certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Another highlight single is "I Will Rise." Released in early 2009 as the second single, "I Will Rise" was written by Tomlin, Passion Conferences founder and pastor Louie Giglio, Matt Maher and Jesse Reeves. The song was born out of a lunch conversation between Tomlin and Giglio. Giglio expressed a deep desire for a worship song specifically tailored for people walking through intense seasons of struggle, loss, or looking over the grave of a loved one. Giglio brought the anchor phrase, "The grave is overwhelmed," to the table. Tomlin took that powerful line and structured the rest of the song around it to provide Christians with an ultimate declaration of hope—reminding believers that physical death is not the final end. It was another Top 5 hit on the Billboard Christian music charts and it also appeared on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs chart at number 50. In 2013, it was Gold certified and then Platinum certified 10 years later. In 2010, "I Will Rise" was nominated for two Dove Awards for Song of the Year and Worship Song of the Year. Hello Love debuted at number 2 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart on September 20, 2008 and one week later, it hit number one where it stayed for three weeks. On the Billboard 200 Albums chart, it debuted and peaked at number 9 with combined sales of 52,000 copies sold in its first week, besting his first-week numbers of his previous release See the Morning. The album was Gold certified by the RIAA in July 2010. In 2009, Tomlin earned his second Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album and at the Dove Awards, Tomlin was nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year and Artist of the Year and Hello Love was nominated for Praise & Worship Album of the Year. In addition to the 12-track standard CD version, there was also an iTunes version of Hello Love with a 13th track "My Beloved." The album was also available as a Worship Leader Limited Edition on 2 CD's. The second CD contains sheet music, chord charts and a special greeting from Tomlin himself.

And If Our God Is For Us... is the sixth studio album by Christian singer/songwriter/ worship leader Chris Tomlin, released on November 16, 2010 by sixstepsrecords/ Sparrow Records. Tomlin's long-time producer Ed Cash produced seven tracks and Dan Muckala produced four tracks. The album's title comes from the lead single "Our God." It was released to Christian radio and on streaming platforms back in March 2010 to precede the album and also serves as the opening track. The lyrics center around God's unmatched power, miraculous nature, and ultimate protection. The verses reference Biblical miracles, like turning water into wine and opening the eyes of the blind. "Our God" was originally included on the 2010 Passion Conference release Passion: Awakening, a live recording from the Passion 10 gathering. "Our God" is in the Top 25 on Christian Copyright Licensing International's (CCLI) list at No. 5. It topped the Billboard Christian music charts on all formats in July 2010. The song also charted on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs chart climbing to No. 9. "Our God" was named Worship Song of the Year at the 42nd GMA Dove Awards in 2011 and was also nominated for Song of the Year. In 2012, the track was Gold certified and then Platinum certified in 2014 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "I Will Follow" was released as the second single in September 2010 and climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs, Christian Airplay and Christian AC Airplay charts and at No. 14 on the Heatseekers Songs chart. "I Will Follow" was another Gold-selling single in 2013 and then Platinum ten years later. The third single "I Lift My Hands" topped the Billboard Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts and peaked at number 4 on the Christian AC Airplay chart. Tomlin collected his third Gold single for this track by the RIAA in 2024. And If Our God Is For Us... was released in two variations: the regular 11-track standard CD and a limited edition deluxe version on a CD/DVD combo with four additional acoustic tracks on the audio CD and a DVD containing a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the album recorded at White Cabin Studio and live performance clips of "Love" and "I Will Rise" (both tracks are from his 2008 release Hello Love). And If Our God Is For Us... topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart becoming Tomlin's second No. 1 album and it peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. In April 2012, the album won Praise & Worship Album of the Year at the 43rd GMA Dove Awards and in September 2012, it was certified Gold by the RIAA. At the Grammy Awards, Tomlin was nominated for Best Gospel Song for "Our God" in 2011 and in 2012, Tomlin won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album at the 54th Grammy Awards.

See the Morning is the fourth studio album by Christian singer/songwriter/ worship leader Chris Tomlin, released on September 26, 2006 by sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Ed Cash. Released two years after the success of his breakthrough third release Arriving, See the Morning continues Tomlin's contemporary worship pop sound. It was released just as Tomlin's previous worship tune "How Great Is Our God" was still playing on Christian radio. The title of the album comes from that idea that "our God is as faithful as the rising sun" and is the "Light of the World." See the Morning was originally released in two versions: one with 11 tracks, the other was an enhanced CD with 4 alternate versions of his songs (including acoustic and demo versions) and a special behind-the-scenes look at the recording of the album. Since then, another version, the tour edition, has been released, which features the standard version, along with music/live videos, along with a sermon by Louie Giglio titled "How Great Is Our God." The album's lead single "Made to Worship" was released on the same day as See the Morning was released. The song refers to a fundamental theological concept in Christianity stating that human beings were intentionally created to praise God. It was an immediate hit on Christian radio topping both Billboard and Radio & Records Christian AC charts. "Made to Worship" was nominated for three Dove Awards in 2007 for Song of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year and Worship Song of the Year, particularly the latter category where it lost to another Tomlin track "Holy Is the Lord" (from Arriving). The second single "How Can I Keep From Singing" is a modern adaptation of a 19th century American hymn. The modern version was arranged and rewritten by Tomlin, Matt Redman, and producer Ed Cash. The song focuses on finding joy, peace, and a reason to praise God regardless of life's circumstances. The third single "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" is another adaptation of the well-known historic hymn, originally written by John Newton in 1779. While Tomlin retains the iconic first three verses of John Newton’s original text, he fundamentally transforms the song with two major updates: The Chorus: Tomlin, along with co-writer and pastor Giglio, added a brand new, soaring chorus that gives the song its subtitle: "My chains are gone, I've been set free / My God, my Savior has ransomed me / And like a flood His mercy reigns / Unending love, amazing grace." The Final Verse: The song omits the famous "When we've been there ten thousand years..." stanza. Instead, Tomlin restores Newton's original, lesser-known final verse: "The earth shall soon dissolve like snow / The sun forbear to shine / But God, who called me here below / Will be forever mine." "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" was originally written at the request of film producers to serve as the flagship track for the 2006 historical drama movie Amazing Grace, which chronicled William Wilberforce's fight to abolish the slave trade in Britain. The song topped both Billboard and Radio & Records Christian AC charts in late December 2007 and in January 2008. In 2008, it was nominated twice for Song of the Year in 2008 and 2009 at the Dove Awards, in addition to being nominated for Worship Song of the Year in 2008, but lost to Tomlin's "How Great Is Our God," which also won in that category in 2006. The song was Gold certified in February 2014, Platinum in 2017 and as recent as 2023, Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of two million downloads. It is one of Tomlin's most streamed tracks by Spotify with over 116 million plays. See the Morning gave Tomlin his first number one album on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. The album also peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200. It experienced a 113% sales leap over Arrival's first-week numbers as it sold more than 47,000 copies. By June 2007, it has sold over 116,000 copies and was Gold certified in 2008. In 2016, See the Morning was Platinum certified selling over a million copies. In 2007, Tomlin, in addition to winning Worship Song of the Year for "Holy Is the Lord," won four additional Dove Awards for Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year (and again in 2008) and See the Morning winning Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and Praise & Worship Album of the Year. That same year, Tomlin earned his first Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album. An exclusive bonus track titled "Lion Became the Lamb" was made available on iTunes for pre-order of See the Morning. You can listen to the track posted below this article.
