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.

I considered the question... "What is 'Pure Joy'?" and came to the conclusion it is in nature.
"Pure Joy" - For me the landscape is somewhat remote; and incredible.
Add to this an extraordinary sunset, God's miracle paint brush, colors lighting up the sky.
Then capture the 1 - 2 minutes where the Sunset and the Landscape capture you completely. That narrow peak.
Before the peak the colors are developing. After the peak you are remembering you need to get home to make dinner.
But for 1 minute, while completely captivated, that is "Pure Joy".
Add to this
relationship, holding hands with the one you love. Sharing this Joy. And through this enhancing it...You have what I would define as "Pure Joy"
I question whether this, "Pure Joy", is what the Seraphim of Isaiah chapter 6 have found.?.
In this, "Pure Joy", I find God. Or perhaps in seeking Jesus Christ, I am able to find this, "Pure Joy".
God is good, All the time... All the time, God is good.

I agree! Is anyone ready for Jesus second coming? If you feel like not, pray to him to help you to be ready and do God’s will even you are afraid or doubting or feel depressed or lonely or hopeless. Praise the Lord for his goodness, and for His wonderful works. Psalm 107:8
