It’s interesting in the world of music to see who listens to what and who avoids certain genres like the plague. Chris Tomlin is a Christian music artist and from a young has been devoted to the word of God and all His teachings. He’s been particularly skilled at bringing that word to others through music, which seems to be a much more dynamic and entertaining way at times since it touches people in a very different way and allows them to feel his devotion and passion for the teachings of God on a level that goes a bit beyond the regular sermons. He does seek to spread the good word and has been involved in various church camps across Texas, where it’s pretty obvious that peoples’ beliefs are quite strong and help to bind them together. So whether you like the music or not you can’t deny that it does have a great deal of importance to the local culture.
Here are a few of his songs that have touched a great number of people.
5. Chris Tomlin – Amazing Grace
It kind of seems that trying to count how many ways this tune has been sung and how many different versions there are of it would be hard to pin down since this song has been a favorite of both those that worship and those that don’t. When hard times come upon people and they need something or someone to believe in a lot of folks will raise their eyes towards the heavens and begin to ask for help, as much as they can get and as quickly as it can come. That’s when songs like these start to pour forth from the mouths of those that remember them, and that’s when many worshipers remember that there’s someone looking out above.
4. 42nd Dove Awards – Our God
Gospel music is a lot bigger than some people might think and they do have their own awards show for those that show outstanding talent in this genre. Obviously Chris Tomlin has been among the best for a while and he’s shown it by performing at the GMA’s and even accepting an award as he’s been deemed to be an outstanding performer. It might not be that a lot of people know enough about contemporary Christian music to really get into it, but there is a market for said music and it’s been around for a little while. These aren’t the old hymns that you might remember from Sunday school, but they’re every bit as powerful.
3. Chris Tomlin – Good Good Father
In this world that’s becoming increasingly unbalanced songs like these can add a bit of peace to the moments in which we live, peace of mind which is sorely needed now and again since things tend to get a bit crazy now and again. Chris Tomlin has kept to his style and his faith throughout the years and has managed to spread his belief to many people during his career. He’s become one of the more popular Christian artists in the mainstream and has won a lot of people over to his side when it comes to music and even when it comes to faith. People need something to believe in at this time and bringing them to God is a good start.
2. Grace Unplugged – Our God
Grace doesn’t realize that the fears her father has of Hollywood are well-founded and decides to go off on her own to the big city where she tries to get her music career started. While there she does manage to get that career started, but can’t go much further as she comes to realize that the lies and the deceit that go on in the big city and the constant pressures are just too much. Eventually she goes back home to a simpler place and finds her path once again as she accepts that the big time isn’t what she thought it would be. At one point she is invited to a Chris Tomlin concert to perform, and life has begun to make sense again.
1. Chris Tomlin – How Great is Our God
This song is featured on the movie Concussion, a Will Smith movie about a doctor that discovered the reason why football players, who were still fairly young after retiring, were beginning to experience severe mood swings and even violent outbursts that led to bodily harm, either on themselves or others. When it was discovered that these men had serious brain trauma caused by repetitive blows to the skull Dr. Omalu’s research was initially ignored by the NFL, and Omalu was discredited as making up the story in order to scare people. Unfortunately as the problem worsened the NFL could no longer cover it up and measures had to be taken to protect their players.
Chris Tomlin is a firm believer, and a great musician.
