About the Artist: Chris Tomlin
Chris Tomlin has shaped modern worship music for two decades, writing songs that balance theological depth with melodic accessibility. His catalog includes some of the most frequently sung contemporary Christian hymns in churches worldwide, and his arrangements consistently demonstrate how a strong melodic idea can work across ensemble sizes and skill levels.
Why we love this
Marty Hamby's arrangement respects the song's essential character while giving both choral and instrumental forces genuine musical work to do. The contemporary sound arrives without sacrificing singability, making this a practical choice for groups ready to expand beyond traditional hymnal settings but not yet equipped for complex jazz or pop idioms.
What to expect
This arrangement radiates confident assurance. The modern groove invites listeners into a spiritual space without irony or pretense; the sound is warm, accessible, and genuinely congregational in spirit despite its contemporary sonic palette.
Who it's for
Worship teams, contemporary choral ensembles, and youth choirs seeking material that bridges traditional music ministry expectations with current praise and worship styles. Works equally well in All Saints services or general praise settings where familiar contemporary song meets fresh arrangement.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the steady pulse early in rehearsals; the song's effectiveness hinges entirely on confident rhythmic foundation from your rhythm section and choir alike.
- Balance the message with the groove; singers should feel the drive without letting percussion or instrumental accompaniment overshadow the lyrical content.
- Shape phrases through dynamic control rather than tempo variation; the 'steady purpose' works best when tempo remains consistent throughout.
How to use it
Pair this with a more traditional hymn or spiritual to create programming contrast that highlights both the timelessness and immediacy of the message. It works especially well as an opening number that establishes a contemporary vibe for the entire service or concert.
Skills your students will build
