Minnesota's St. Paul Pioneer Press recently interviewed artist-worshiper Chris Tomlin prior to his local appearance on the How Great Is Our God Tour for a story called "Five Questions with Mr. Hymn."
"Tomlin's songs are sung more often in U.S. churches than any other contemporary artist," the newspaper reports. "His catchy, acoustic guitar-driven Christian rock songs such as "Famous One," "We Fall Down," "Forever," and "Holy Is the Lord" are sung by millions of Christians who attend contemporary worship services every Sunday."
Answering a question about this huge response to his efforts, Tomlin says, "It so overwhelms me that God uses these simple little songs of mine, that he uses somebody like me, who is far from perfect or having it all together."
The Pioneer Press later reported on the concert: "Rolling through one hit after another, Tomlin and his band's tight, power-packed performance was a testament to the power of God's music to move the masses. The crowd drowned out Tomlin on many of the songs, shouting out the lyrics, arms thrown skyward in praise and hands clapping to the beat."
The How Great Is Our God Tour also features a spoken message from Passion worship conferences founder Louie Giglio and a performance by Matt Redman. Learn more at ChrisTomlin.com.
