The 12-song project produced by Ed Cash is available in stores and digitally today and will also be released on vinyl on November 19. Download or stream Emmanuel: Christmas Songs of Worship HERE.

“I have always been inspired by ‘Christmas classics.’ Songs like “O Come All Ye Faithful” and “O Holy Night” that have been passed down for generations. These were all songs that were not written to be Christmas classics but as worship songs for the church,” shared Chris. “When it came time to do this album, I wanted to capture songs that remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. Emmanuel, God with us. If there was ever a time that we needed to be reminded that God is with us, it is now and that is the spirit behind this third Christmas record. My prayer is that God uses these songs to touch lives for generations and reminds us that He is close to us.”

Emmanuel: Christmas Songs of Worship is the fifth release in Chris’ ‘Christmas Songs of Worship’ series: Miracle Of Love: Christmas Songs of Worship EP released in 2020, Christmas Day: Christmas Songs of Worship EP from 2019, 2015’s highly regarded Adore: Christmas Songs of Worship, and his gold-selling Glory In The Highest: Christmas Songs of Worship from 2009. Collectively his Christmas projects have tallied more than 111,000,000 streams.

The new Christmas album follows two highly successful collaborations projects, 2020’s #1 debuting Chris Tomlin & Friends which includes his second longest running #1 song “Who You Are To Me” with Lady A that topped the charts for six consecutive weeks, and Chris Tomlin & Friends: Summer EP released this July.

Grammy award winner Chris Tomlin is celebrating summer this holiday weekend with the debut of new music, Chris Tomlin & Friends: Summer EP. The project contains three new songs featuring Chris with country music superstar Tyler Hubbard (Florida Georgia Line/FGL), who also served as executive producer, Jimmie Allen and Russell Dickerson as well as two tracks that appeared on last summer’s #1 debuting album Chris Tomlin & Friends. Get the EP here.

One of those previously released songs, “Thank You Lord,” featuring Chris with FGL and Thomas Rhett, is Chris’ newest single and is headed to Christian radio immediately. The artists performed it together last summer on the Today Show and The Late Late Show with James Corden. “Thank You Lord” was written by Chris, Thomas Rhett, Tyler Hubbard, Corey Crowder and David Garcia and is the most consumed song from the album. To date, Chris Tomlin & Friends has more than 150 million global streams.

Chris spoke to USA Today/Tennessean last week about his excitement for the new EP, his growing relationships in Nashville, and the new wave of cross genre collaboration that is founded in faith and brings a message of unity and hope to an even greater audience. “The heart of (‘Friends’) has been — more than anything — a bridge builder. There are people of faith, people who really have a strong faith in God and are living that out in a really great way, in all genres.”

“I’ve loved working with Chris and find what he’s doing to be very bold and courageous,” said Tyler. “I’m not only inspired by the brotherhood we’ve created, but his want to expand his powerful message of hope, love, and Christ. Our meeting was such a God thing, and what a cool opportunity for us to team up again, be able to create music together, and unite our two worlds even more.”

“‘Talk To Him’ was the first song we ever wrote together, and we knew it was the start of something special,” shared Russell. “It’s about how talking to God is like talking to a friend. No matter where you are or what it is, He is always listening!”

“I have been a fan of Chris Tomlin since his first album,” said Jimmie. “His music reaches beneath the surface. It’s been a dream of mine to do a song with him for years, and I’m glad it finally happened. I look forward to watching how this song connects with people.”Chris Tomlin & Friends: Summer EP– track listing

Grammy award winner Chris Tomlin revealed the track listing and country collaborations today for his upcoming Chris Tomlin & Friends: Summer EP releasing July 2. The EP, produced by Corey Crowder, contains three new songs featuring Chris with superstar Tyler Hubbard (Florida Georgia Line), who also served as executive producer, Jimmie Allen and Russell Dickerson. The project also includes two previously released tracks featuring Russell, Florida Georgia Line and Thomas Rhett from Chris Tomlin & Friends, his #1 debuting album released last year. Chris spoke to USA Today/Tennessean about his excitement for the new music, his growing relationships in Nashville, and this new wave of cross genre collaboration, one that is founded in faith and brings a message of unity and hope to an even greater audience.

“There is incredible power in collaboration and to be able to come together again with some of the biggest names in Country music and write songs about our shared faith is something that could only be orchestrated by God,” shared Chris. “I am so grateful for Tyler, Russell, and Jimmie’s willingness to use their platform and influence for something that has the power to change people’s lives. This project has always been about smashing up the genres and allowing music about faith and love to meet people where they are and be right in the center of our lives. My hope and prayer are that these new songs will have a lasting impact that goes beyond anything we could ever see or know.”

Grammy award winner Chris Tomlin is celebrating the beginning of summer with the announcement of new music and a new tour.

“Over the last year I’ve come to realize that I have taken for granted the ability to gather together as the church in worship,” shared Chris. “Ever since I was young, I have felt a calling on my life to help give people a voice to worship God and for me, I can’t think of a more critical moment in time for us to come back together and worship… unified and as one voice. Worship is more than a concert, it’s about your soul connecting to God, it’s eternal and an opportunity to join in everlasting praise. To not only worship outside amidst God’s creation but to do it alongside some of the most influential worship leaders in the church right now is something I am honored to be a part of. This is truly going to be a moment of impact and one we will never forget.”

Chris previously spoke to Billboard about the friendships he built while making Chris Tomlin & Friends and his hope to take a step towards breaking down walls and smashing up the genres. The project featured 13 tracks with some of country music’s biggest superstars, including executive producers Florida Georgia Line, Lady A and Thomas Rhett as well as Russell Dickerson, Chris Lane, RaeLynn, Cassadee Pope and Brett Young in addition to Bear Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE, Blessing Offor and We The Kingdom. Chris performed one of the tracks of the project, “Thank You Lord”, which featured Florida Georgia Line and Thomas Rhett, on the Today Show and The Late Late Show with James Corden as part of promo for the album.

GRAMMY winner Chris Tomlin releases the official lyric video for “Power” featuring Bear Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE.

This track was featured on Tomlin’s latest project Chris Tomlin & Friends, which released last year.

“This is more than just an album with featured artists, those types of albums have existed forever, this record is new and is all about coming together and working together. I have always felt a calling to help give people a voice to worship God and for me this record is a step towards breaking down walls and smashing up the genres. One of my goals is for this music to be accessible to a wider audience. The way I look at it, music about faith, God, salvation and forgiveness doesn’t only have to come from any one genre,” Tomlin said.

LYRICS

Some people think Your distant just some words on a page
That You’re nothing more than fables handed down along the way
But I’ve seen You part the waters when no one else could pull me from the deep
That’s who You are to me
Some people think You just live in cathedrals made of stone
But I know You live inside my heart, I know that it’s Your home
And I’ve seen You in a sunset and in the eyes of a stranger on the street
That’s who You are to me

You’re amazing, faithful, love’s open door
When I’m empty You fill me with hunger for more
Of Your mercy, Your goodness
Lord You’re the air that I breathe
That’s who You are to me
Who You are to me

Sometimes I have my doubts I’m sure that everybody does
And I wonder when I stumble am I still worthy of Your love
But I know that I get stronger when I’m talking to You down on my knees
You’re everything I need

You’re amazing, faithful, love’s open door
When I’m empty You fill me with hunger for more
Of Your mercy, Your goodness
Lord You’re the air that I breathe
That’s who You are to me
Who You are to me

You’re forever Holy
You’re the Lamb who is worthy
My forgiveness, my healer
The Messiah, my Redeemer

You’re amazing, faithful, love’s open door
When I’m empty You fill me with hunger for more
Of Your mercy, Your goodness
Lord You’re the air that I breathe
That’s who You are –

You are greater, higher over it all
In Your presence, Jesus, I stand in awe
Of Your mercy, Your goodness
Lord You’re the air that I breathe
That’s who You are to me
That’s who You are to me
That’s who You are to me

LYRICS

Thank You Lord for the small things
Like me and her on the porch swing
For summer nights and fireflies
And the sound of my old sixstring
Blessings on blessings on blessings on blessings
If I still got breath in these lungs
And that’s all I need to get down on my knees
And be thankful for all that He’s done

For my mama for my friends
For Your love that never ends
For the songs that make us dance
On this ole dirt floor
For my babies for my girl
For the way they changed my world
Waking up today
I just gotta say
Thank You Lord
I just wanna say
Thank You Lord

Thank You Lord for the hard times
For lighting the way in the dark times
For pulling me in forgiving again
The times that I took it too far
God I thank You for keeping me humble
For picking me up when I stumble
And although I change, You stay the same
And I don’t say thank You enough

For my mama for my friends
For Your love that never ends
For the songs that make us dance
On this ole dirt floor
For my babies for my girl
For the way they changed my world
Waking up today
I just gotta say
Thank You Lord
I just wanna say
Thank You Lord

Praise up
Eyes closed
One thing I know
I just wanna thank You Lord, thank You Lord
Praise up
Eyes closed
One thing I know
I just wanna thank You Lord, thank You Lord

For my mama for my friends
For Your love that never ends
For the songs that make us dance
On this ole dirt floor
For my babies for my girl
For the way they changed my world
Waking up today
I just gotta say
Thank You Lord

Praise up
Eyes closed
One thing I know
I just wanna thank You Lord, thank You Lord
Praise up
Eyes closed
One thing I know
I just wanna say
Thank You Lord
