View all articles by Ryan DahlGod Of This City is a powerful new song featuring the voice of Chris Tomlin from the recent Passion worship album. Only a week after adding this chart to our catalog (by special request from a desperate customer who just couldn't wait), it took less than a week to rise into the Top 25. There is a powerful build to the chorus, "for greater things are yet to come, and greater things are still to be done in this city." Not a Chris Tomlin original, but it seems that when Chris give his touch to a song like this, it just soars. This is a song for our new generation to sing.

I am that desperate customer...
There's actually a really beautiful story about the origin of this song. A team from our church went to the Passion conference in L.A. and was deeply moved by this song and the story of how it was written. Our Executive Pastor came back and said, "This is going to be a theme song for our church this year..." and he was right. Our congregation LOVES it. They are telling all of their friends about it...they are buying CD's for missionaries and sending them all over the world. It's very powerful. Not to mention--the arrangement here is spectacularly fitting and beautiful. Our instrumentalists love the song as well--not just the meaning in the lyrics, they love to PLAY it also. It is rare that a song this great comes around. I live in Los Angeles/Hollywood...and as you may know, it's a pretty seedy place. I constantly drive around the streets of LA thinking to myself--"God. You are the GOD of this city. Greater things are yet to come..." |
