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 Giglioโs 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, Tomlinโs 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.

Galaxies all in motion
Praise Him you thunderclouds
Ringing throughout the Heavens
From every mountaintop
To every wild ocean
Oh, hear all the universe sing praise
Let everything that breathes
Let all the earth proclaim
Great is the Lord our God
Praise Him forever
Let all that is within me
Magnify His name
Great is the Lord our God
Praise Him forever
Praise Him forever
Praise Him you beating hearts
Sing for the life He's given
Praise Him you rescued ones
Join in the sound of Heaven
From every mountaintop
To every wild ocean
Oh, hear all the universe sing praise
Oh, sing praise
Let everything that breathes
Let all the earth proclaim
Great is the Lord our God
Praise Him forever
Let all that is within me
Magnify His name
Great is the Lord our God
Praise Him forever
Hear the holy roar
Hear this anthem rise
In the house of God
All creation cries
Hear the holy roar
Hear this anthem rise
In the house of God
All creation cries
Hear the holy roar
Hear this anthem rise
In the house of God
All creation cries

The lyrics to Chris Tomlin's song "Praise Him Forever" express the idea of all of creation joining in a worshipful chorus to give praise to God. The song begins by calling on the stars, galaxies, and thunderclouds to praise God for His greatness and power. The chorus, "Let everything that breathes, let all the earth proclaim, Great is the Lord our God, Praise Him forever," emphasizes the idea that all of creation is called to worship God. The song also acknowledges the life that God has given to each individual, and the joy that comes in being rescued by God.
The bridge of the song repeats the phrase "Hear the holy roar," which may be a reference to Revelation 4:8, where the angels in heaven are described as constantly saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty." The repetition of this phrase in the song reinforces the idea that all of creation is joining in this worshipful chorus to praise God. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus, "Praise Him forever," solidifying the idea that God deserves eternal praise from all of creation.
Overall, the lyrics to "Praise Him Forever" are a powerful reminder that all of creation is called to worship and give praise to God, who is worthy of all honor, glory, and majesty.

Oh, it will be nothing like our worship services here on earth. Remember, we believers only know and understand just a bit of who Jesus is and what He did for us. What awaits the redeemed of the Lamb is beyond compare in this world! 1 Corinthians 2:9 "but just as it is written, โThings which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.โ
