In 2008, after five solo album releases, and nine with Passion, Tomlin made the move from Texas to Atlanta to be a worship leader for Giglio’s new church, Passion City Church, with its first service being held in February of 2009. Tomlin has since released four solo worship albums, two Christmas albums, and one live album.
In 2013, Tomlin’s seventh album Burning Light debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart, becoming only the fourth album by a Christian artist to top that chart, along with Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace) by Bob Carlisle, You Light Up My Life by LeeAnn Rimes, both in 1997, and TobyMac's Eye On It in 2012.
Tomlin has recorded some of the most famous songs ever in Christian music, such as How Great Is Our God, Holy Is The Lord, Our God, and Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)
Throughout his successful career, Tomlin has won 22 GMA Dove Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, and a Grammy.

The lyrics of Chris Tomlin’s song “All to Us” echo the Christian belief that Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith, the foundation upon which we stand. The opening line of the chorus, “Precious cornerstone, sure foundation,” sets the tone for the rest of the song. Tomlin emphasizes the importance of Jesus’ faithfulness to us. As Christians, we believe in waiting on Jesus, relying on Him to guide us and protect us, because we believe “You’re all to us.” This last line is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing its importance and the centrality of Christ in our lives.
The second verse praises the glory of God and His righteousness, calling on the Church to be passionate about His name and to burn with holy flame for His sake. The song measures the love of Christ as “the measure of our lives,” underscoring the significance and power of that love in our individual lives, as well as in the Church as a whole. The bridge of the song is a powerful declaration of faith in Christ, claiming that He is the “Only Son of God sent from Heaven,” offering hope and mercy to all. Tomlin sings that Jesus is “everything,” and that He is the promise of God fulfilled.
The final verse reiterates that Jesus is “all to us,” that He is everything we need and want. The song concludes with a statement of hope and faith that even once this “passing world” is over, we will see Jesus “face to face,” and worship Him forever. These lyrics not only express faith and devotion to Christ, but also a longing for His presence and a belief in life beyond this one.

Hebrews 6:1-12( Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
"6 Therefore let us leave the elementary teaching about Christ( Jesus😊1st❤) and go on to maturity,
not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith❤ in God(😊100%❤),
2 instruction about baptisms, the laying on the hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
3 And God permitting, we will do so.
4 It is impossible for those who have been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,
6 if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
9 Even though we speak like this❤, dear friends❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ we are confident of better things in your case- things that accompany salvation.
10 God( 😊100%❤) is not unjust; he will❤ not forget your work and the love❤ you❤ have shown him as you❤ have helped❤ his people and continue❤ to help❤ them❤.
11 We want each of you❤ to show this same diligent❤ to the very end,
in order to make your hope❤ sure.
12 We do not want you to become lazy,
but😊❤ to imitate ❤
those😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
who
faith😊❤
and
patience😊❤
inherit
what has been promised."( Hebrews 6:1-12 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
