IN A WORLD where differences divide us, Chris Tomlin’s music is a rarity that unites people from a wide range of backgrounds. We’ve all worshipped to songs he’s written, co-written, or sung. In 2012 alone, Chris’ songs were performed more than 3 million times in churches around the world – making him, arguably, the most impactful worship leader of our time. Some of his greatest hits include “How Great is Our God,” “Forever,” “Holy is the Lord,” “We Fall Down,” and “Indescribable.” Every age group, ethnicity, and denomination has used Chris’ music to heal their brokenness, and draw closer to God.
