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 opening line "Where You go, I'll go, Where You stay, I'll stay" sets the tone for this song - that is, to follow God wherever he may lead us. The next line, "When You move, I'll move," is a declaration of obedience to follow Him wherever He leads, and to move as He moves, whether that means going somewhere new, doing something in a different way, or uprooting and changing plans. The refrain "I will follow You" reinforces this commitment to follow God's plan, no matter what it entails.
The next part of the song focused on the goodness of God's ways and the trustworthiness of his character. The lyrics state that God's ways are good and sure, and that the singer trusts in Him alone. The phrase "Higher than my side, high above my life" acknowledges that God's ways are beyond our own understanding and that we need to trust in Him alone. In this sense, the song encourages a personal relationship with God rather than a rigid adherence to rules or dogmas.
The final verse talks about the joy, freedom, and everlasting life that can be found in God. The singer states that they will follow God because in Him alone, there is joy and unending joy. In this way, the song encourages a sense of comfort and security in the presence of God.
