Chris Tomlin – And If Our God is For Us

Chris Tomlin - and if our God is for us.jpg Chris Tomlin returns with his much-anticipated new album And If Our God Is For Us..., which features the new single “I Will Follow” and a new studio recording of “Our God,” the anthemic declaration of faith that has already spent nine weeks on top of the Christian radio charts. The new songs on And If Our God Is For Us... came from Chris’s experience as a worship leader over the years, and currently at Passion City Church in Atlanta, led by communicator and pastor, Louie Giglio. As the songwriter behind the worship favourites “How Great is Our God”, “Jesus Messiah”, “Holy is the Lord” and “Forever”, Chris continues to write songs that connect people to the heart of Jesus and lead them to a greater worship of Him.

ABOUT CHRIS TOMLIN

Referred to by Time Magazine as “the most often sung artist anywhere,” Tomlin additionally has 15 Top 100 CCLI songs with 6 in the Top 25. ASCAP’s 2007 Songwriter of the Year, Tomlin’s “How Great Is Our God” was his first No. 1 on the CCLI Top 25. The award-winning song moved to No. 1 after becoming one of the fasting rising modern day hymns in CCLI chart history. His current #1 single “Our God” spent 9 weeks at #1 on the Christian AC Monitored chart. Tomlin continues to tour many dates every year and plays regularly at Passion Conferences in the States and worldwide.

Passion: Here For You
Passion -here for you.jpg Passion: Here For You was recorded live at the Passion 2011 conference with more than 20,000 university-aged students in Atlanta, GA January 1-4, 2011. Set to release March 8th, 2011, the much-anticipated collection of new songs will feature sixstepsrecords artists Chris Tomlin, David Crowder*Band, Charlie Hall, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels and Kristian Stanfill. The album and new song offerings will reflects the desire of a generation to lay down their lives to live for the renown of Christ. Since the first release in 1998, Passion albums have sold more than 1.8 million albums and introduced the newest and up-and-coming worship songs, including “Better Is One Day”, “How Great Is Our God”, “God Of This City”, “Holy Is The Lord” and last year, the #1 radio single “Our God” (from 2010’s Passion: Awakening).

About the Passion 2011 Conference:
At the heart of it all, Passion exists to see a generation stake their lives on what matters most - the fame of the One who rescues and restores and our opportunity to amplify His name in everything we do.

Given the fact that the University landscape changes every fall with a rush of new freshmen faces, the Passion Movement continues to engage the “university-moment” with the compelling message of Jesus…and the challenge to make it all about His fame.

To that end, Passion 2011 is more than another event. Rather, it is another step in a journey that is all about finding true meaning as we take our places in a story that is so much bigger than ourselves. It’s about trading in small dreams for a role in a grand epic that is shaping history and has no end. And it’s a rare chance for tens of thousands of university-aged young people to gather from across the US and around the world to celebrate their common faith and purpose.
