  • Catching up with Chris Tomlin


    The well-known worship leader has an aw-shucks, wide-eyed wonder that has survived commercial success, industry accolades, and worldwide popularity. Millions sing his songs in churches every week, but he remains in awe of God's faithfulness. We talked to Tomlin about his new album, See the Morning, and more.

    Do you sit down and say "I'm going to write a song," or is it more of waiting on the Spirit?

    Chris Tomlin: I can't just sit down and write. Songs come to me in pieces. Some come right away. Others take a long time. It's usually inspired by a Scripture I've been reading.

    Is it a worshipful experience when you are recording in the studio?

    Tomlin: Work is our own worship to God. How we go about our lives is worship. It is a worship process. I think that's very biblical.

    Do you always feel worshipful when you are up front leading?

    Tomlin: I don't know how you lead people where you're not going. But worship is not just how we feel at the moment.

    How do you lead worship when you're not feeling it?

    Tomlin: That's the sacrifice of praise. Those are the times you know what your relationship is about. That's when you find out how true it is.

    Is there room for biblical lament in modern worship songs?

    Tomlin: There is so much pain in the world, and there is lament in so much of the Scriptures. I think that's why Matt [Redman]'s "Blessed Be Your Name" really connects with people. People need the opportunity to cry out. That's the whole idea of See the Morning. The Bible keeps talking about the morning. The morning is a symbol of hope for a new day. Psalm 35 says, "Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Lamentations 3:23 says the Lord's "mercies are new every morning."

    How can a worship leader help people lament and work through their pain?

    Tomlin: It's one thing if you're leading a different group night after night [on a concert tour], because you're not in a community of people. It's different when you're leading a church body, where you have a better sense of the people and what they're struggling with.

    Do you think about how we worship with our bodies? Some raise their hands, some dance, some stand still, and so on.

    Tomlin: It has a lot to do with our culture. We're pretty bad at our bodily expression of worship. It can be a bit frustrating when people are standing there with their arms folded.

    How do you deal with being a celebrity and a worship leader?

    Tomlin: I don't really concern myself with that. I want to be where God wants me. When the spotlight is on me, it's on God. I just want to be a reflection of God's light. It's like the moon—it doesn't give off its own light; it's a reflection of the sun's light.

    How do you maintain your humility?

    Tomlin: I come from a very humble place. I come from a small town. I also can't get caught up in what other people think. In the Bible, everyone who saw God was humbled. Isaiah and Moses and Paul—they were all humbled. You can't help but be humbled.

    How have you changed as your popularity has soared?

    Tomlin: The more this has grown, the more I've realized this is from God. There is a greater sense of responsibility.

    What do you want people to get out of listening to your records?

    Tomlin: My hope is that the songs would find their way into churches, that maybe some of the songs would last for years and be meaningful for people.

    How can Christian artists get their music out and not give into crass marketing campaigns?

    Tomlin: That's stuff I really don't worry about. I do know the motives of people in our camp. They're not trying just to make money. They're trying to get the music out to minister to people.

    No company, no amount of marketing can make a song reach into these poor areas of Asia and Africa and the rest of the world. They can't do it. It has to be of the Holy Spirit.

    I first heard CT at Frenzy in 2007. I fell in love with his voice and his music, even though I was not Christian. I was blown away by the energy and emotion, and when he sang "Amazing Grace", I had to leave because both myself and my friend were crying. I'd been so overwhelmed by the song. It was the most amazing thing I'd ever experienced.
    May I just ask, but what's the name of the keyboardist who performed with CT at Frenzy? The blonde guy? Was his name Matt?
