The 15-track album (track listing below) features seven No. 1 hits, all of which are in CCLI's Top 120 Chart. How Great Is Our God: The Essential Collection also includes new renditions of "Forever," "We Fall Down" and a new version of the title track and fan favorite, "How Great Is Our God [World Edition]" featuring the international languages and voices of worship leaders Tomlin has met all over the globe on Passion world tours. This track is also the project's first single, spinning on over 19 AC stations, currently at No. 28 on the AC Indicator chart.

"I've been thinking for a while if I ever did a 'Best Of' I'd want it to be called 'How Great Is Our God' just because of what that song has done and what that song has become globally," explains the GRAMMY ® nominated artist. "It just seems to translate universally, as people have picked it up in their own countries and own languages. It's the most special thing I've ever recorded. It gives you a sense that this is the whole world worshipping God."

Critics are finding themselves amazed as they listen and witness the universal impact these songs have had:

"What can possibly be said about Chris Tomlin to emphasize the impact he's had on modern worship music, let alone the contemporary church as a whole? Perhaps the most sung artist anywhere on the planet, the singer/songwriter/worship leader's career crests are aptly summarized on this compilation alongside three equally momentous new cuts, all of which give listeners plenty of reasons to praise."-CCM Magazine

"Tomlin is literally one of the best, and this essential album collects the best on one disc for our listening, and worshiping enjoyment."-HollywoodJesus.com

The Billboard Music Award winner will also be featured on ChristianityToday.com next week, along with people from around the globe telling how these songs have impacted their lives. In addition, the December issue of CCM magazine will feature an exclusive interview with Louie Giglio speaking one-on-one with Tomlin, and an upcoming podcast with Relevant magazine will also delve deeper into Tomlin's thoughts about these songs and their undeniable influence on the worldwide church.

Performing in front of sold out crowds everywhere; Tomlin will draw the fall leg of his "And If Our God Is For Us..." tour to a close in Birmingham, AL this weekend. Also featuring Passion visionary and pastor, Louie Giglio, and labelmate, Christy Nockels, this was the follow-up to the very successful spring leg earlier this year.
