Hello Love is Chris Tomlin's fifth worship album and as usual it is packed with well crafted, uplifting songs that are already becoming popular in congregations across the world.
'We need to introduce ourselves to love again.' Says Chris Tomlin. With each new record, Chris continues to strive to create songs that will help people voice their worship to God.
If you saw Chris Tomlin lead worship at this year's Passion event in London, then you will have already heard some of these songs. If you didn't, then here's an opportunity to catch up and be inspired by Tomlin's well crafted worship songs. From the beautiful refrain of Jesus Messiah to the uplifting I Will Rise and Sing, Sing, Sing, Chris Tomlin has a knack for creating songs that catch the heart. He can also spot songs that deserve a wider impact so Bluetree's God Of This City is reworked in fresh Tomlin style. With a fresh pop rock production, inspiring words and fabulous melodies, Hello Love is destined to be one of the significant releases of 2008.
' I hold this as a great responsibility when I begin to think about what the overall recording will look like. Worship is a massive word with a very broad scope, but in the end, it is very simple. It is love! It's our response in love to our great God who loved us first. As well, it's our love for others.
Hopefully these songs will renew in some way or stir up again your love for God and His people.
It's pretty exciting these days to see the Church awaken to the portion of it's calling where it serves the 'least of these,' where we carry those less fortunate than ourselves not just in a special place in our hearts, but in our finances, our energy, our life. And the motive and heart behind all of it is love. That's it. More simply put, worship is 'love with legs.' It's on the move! It's not just words and melody.
As Paul says so well in 1 Corinthians. 13:13
'And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.'
Chris Tomlin
