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.

Deborah Christ
Keep silent and listen ,
Declaring how many miracles and wonders GOD had worked through us among the Gentiles ,
DO NOT let the unbelieving stirred up and poisoned our minds
against the Almighty GOD !
From this Man's seed , according to the promise , GOD raised up who are HIS witness to the peoples , they found NO cause for Death in Him A --- Savior --- JESUS ---
As it is also written in the second Psalm :
' You are MY Son ,
Today I have begotten You . '
HE also says in another Psalm :
' I will not allow MY Holy One to see corruption .'
' Behold , you despisers ,
Marvel and perish !
For I work a work in your days ,
A work which you will by no means believe ,
Though One were to declare it to you .
I have set One as a light to the Gentiles ,
Should be for salvation to the ends of the earth !
Who knows the heart , acknowledged them by giving them
the Holy Spirit , and made no distinction to us , purifying
our hearts by faith .
Therefore , WHY do you test GOD by putting a yoke on the
neck ?! '
" O full of all deceit and all fraud , you sons of the devil , you enemy of all righteousness , will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the LORD ?
" And now , indeed , the hand of the LORD is upon you , and you shall be blind , not seeing the Sun for a time , and immediately a dark mist fell on you , and you shall be put into everlasting hell fire ! all of you !!!!!!! "
Those among you who fear GOD , to you the word of this salvation has been sent , all the righteousness on earth : )
GOD Bless all the children on earth
Love

What I love about Christian music is it makes you realize everyone's walking the same path to a different melody. With the Lord we are never alone including our brothers and sisters in the faith. It just always seems like there's someone who's been through what you have.
