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.

One Word, and the blind will see
One Word, and the sinner's forgiven

The song "Impossible Things" by Chris Tomlin is a worship song that reminds us of the power of God and how He can do impossible things. The lyrics emphasize that God's power is enough to do anything we can imagine or ask. The song starts by acknowledging that with just one word, God can cause walls to fall, heal the blind, and forgive sinners. The chorus repeats the phrase, "You do impossible things," highlighting the fact that only God has the power to perform miracles that are beyond our understanding.
The second verse emphasizes God's position as the "Lord our maker" and "King of kings." The lyrics point out that there is no other healer but God and no one who can match His power. The bridge reminds us that God is with us always, and we need not fear because He can do impossible things. The song ends with a declaration of faith: "You heal the brokenhearted, You set the captive free, You lift the heavy burden, And even now, You are lifting me."
Through its powerful lyrics, "Impossible Things" encourages us to have faith in God's power and to trust that He can do more than we could imagine or ask.
