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.

Chris Tomlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
Faithful Lord, fill my cup
With your grace and love, Your grace and love
The pleasures that this world's sure of
Will never be enough, can never be enough
Cause I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
Faithful Lord, fill my cup
With your grace and love, Your grace and love
The pleasures that this world's sure of
They will never be enough, can never be enough
Cause I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
You are my treasure
You are my treasure
You are my treasure
In Chris Tomlin's song "You Are My Treasure," the lyrics speak to the singer's devotion and commitment to God. The lyrics highlight the idea that the singer was created for God alone, and that they belong to Him, as evidenced by being "bought with a price." This phrase is a reference to the belief among Christians that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for our sins and redeem us. The song also speaks about being seated in the heavenlies and nothing else compares to the joy and contentment found in being in the presence of God.
Throughout the lyrics, the singer emphasizes the idea that their purpose and fulfillment is found in God alone. The world's pleasures may offer temporary happiness, but it is only in God that true satisfaction is found. The repeated declaration "You are my treasure" reinforces the idea that God is more valuable than anything else in the world.
This song is a testament to the Christian faith, which emphasizes the importance of placing God at the center of one's life. For believers, it is a reminder that despite the struggles and challenges of life, God is the ultimate source of comfort and security.

This song had always been played when I was kid. If I'm not wrong we had it on tape. But can't remember if Chris originally have sung and written this. I still remember how it sounded more of a choir of kids singing and I so much love that version. I can't even find it on web since we lost the tape. Did Chris originally wrote this? Because this song is sooooo old. Help me please 😭
