Worship leader, artist and singer/songwriter, Chris Tomlin has always wanted to do a Christmas record.
“It’s a time when people who may not have sung a song the whole year, or their entire life, begin to sing,” he says. “There is something about a Christmas song, whether it’s sung at church or heard by carolers on the street, that gets people to join in song. They sing the songs proclaiming that God has come, has entered this world and made a way for us.” This is the spirit that Tomlin wanted to capture with the recording of Glory In The Highest.
Produced by Ed Cash, Glory In The Highest features familiar classics including “Angels We Have Heard On High,” “O, Holy Night,” “Joy to the World ,” to which Tomlin wrote a new refrain, and four new songs that will be Christmas favorites for years to come. With special guests Matt Redman, Christy Nockels and singer/songwriter, Audrey Assad, the album succeeds in its purpose of transforming familiar carols into songs of worship. Recorded at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, TN, Tomlin filled the small room, formerly a church, with some of his closest friends, worship leaders and industry leaders including radio programmers and retailers from across the country.
Taken from the singer/songwriter’s fifth album, See the Morning (2006) the title-track, Glory In The Highest reflects how mighty God is. “When the angels came to the shepherds and said to them, “glory to God in the highest,” they were announcing the birth of Christ, the Almighty, and still today thousands of years later we are still proclaiming and celebrating the good news.”

Chris Tomlin is actually a prolific songwriter. Far more of his songs are sung by churches in the US, GB, and Australia/New Zealand than are sung by Chris himself. I got the chance to see him live, and I can tell you that his studio sound doesn't do justice to his true talent. God richly blesses us all, and in Chris Tomlin's case - the cup runneth over.

barrythebear, you're completely missing the point of worship. The greatest recognition a "worship leader" can get is absolutely none at all. Worship is NOT about us and we have this beaned up idea that it is. Worship is to God and God alone.

Don't get me wrong, I love Chris's music, and the whole Passion crew. I just wish they gave a little more acknowlegement to the original song writters and performers when they cover a worship song. Case in point: God of this city, I don't feel that Bluetree recieved nearly the recognition they deserved off this track. Many people I talk to actually believe that Chris wrote this song, when in fact he just performed it. Now I know worship isn't about competition or recognition, but I have to agree with falling up he is slightly overrated. Hes good and he has produced a couple of his own tunes but all and all he is a cover artist with a good voice.

I agree so much with the below comment. Worship isn't a competition at all. We're all here to praise God. :D that's it.

He is not the greatist worship artist by any stretch of the imagination, just really overrated. Jeremy Riddle, David Crowder Band, Something Like Silas and even The Glorious unseen are better.
