Chris Tomlin
Chris Tomlin was born and raised in east Texas and he grew up listening to country music. His dad taught him to play guitar and he wrote his first song at the early age of 14. Saved as a youngster, he always knew that God had a specific plan for him, but he couldn't see much beyond following the Lord. He finished high school and enrolled in college, graduating with a degree in Psychology. It was at that point that he started spending a lot of time with Passion founder, Louie Giglio. He took a big step of faith and became involved in the first Passion conference in 1997. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Chris Tomlin’s latest release “Praise The Father Praise The Son,” from his soon to be debut album “Hello Love.”
By the time Hello Love actually releases, Jesus Messiah will have been in our Top Five for almost a month. When we at PraiseCharts first heard "Praise the Father," everything else stopped (song details). Our hearts and minds were locked into the meditative vertical prayer that was sung to God. Chris’s new song “Praise The Father Praise The Son” is a hallmark quality song that expresses great theology in a simple way conveyed through a captivating melody. This song is a fantastic power anthem of praise for a variety of uses: call to worship, intimate prayer, message in song, reflection and offering. This song is a must have for your congregation in which you can download and print right here on PraiseCharts.

Here’s the prayer-like lyrics:
Verse 1
O sovereign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To You belongs the highest praise
Verse 2
These sufferings, this passing tide
Under Your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory
Chorus
Praise the Father, Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power and in grace
The name above all other names
Verse 3
To the valley, for my soul
Thy great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows
Bridge
Yours is the kingdom and the power
Yours is the glory
Forever

Watch the New Video or Read the story behind “Praise The Father, Praise The Son” from Chris Tomlin!“There are always those songs that you hold an extra special place in your heart. This is one of those for me. Ed Cash and I wrote this song on the last night of recording my vocals for the record. All of the songs were already recorded and we were happy with where we were. But I am always open to God possibly breathing another song along the way. On this night, Ed grabbed his guitar and told me he wanted to play this melody that he felt was special and that he had been using in some times of ministry with his church family. It kind of reminded me of how the Bible teaches that David would play and it would bring peace and healing.
Ed sang a few lyric ideas for the verse and I immediately just began to sing out the chorus you hear on the record. It was one of the moments where you knew you were not in charge, and we both just sat there with tears in our eyes, stunned at what was happening. I do feel this song, in particular, is one that any church, with any style of worship can sing. It continues to be my heart to write songs that give voice to the generations now and the ones that are to come and I sense this is one of those songs.” Watch New Video
