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 Let God Arise express tremendous joy and adoration towards God. The opening line "Hear the holy roar of God resound" creates a cinematic image of a majestic God who is powerful and full of life. The image continues as the lyrics talk about the waters parting before us, as if God is splitting seas like he did for Moses in Exodus. The song calls on us to come and witness God's wonder and greatness and to spread his love to the world.
The chorus repeats "Let God Arise" as a call to action, urging the listener to join in exalting God. The bridge calls out God's power over death and triumph over His enemies. The lyrics emphasize God's saving power, which is a central theme in many of Chris Tomlin's songs.

"And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:3-4 (ESV) ❤🙏
