(Nashville, TN)– Sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records lead-worshiper Chris Tomlin was named the 2007 Gospel Music Association (GMA) Artist and Male Vocalist of the Year for the second consecutive year during the 38th Annual GMA Dove Awards held at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.
Receiving nine nominations to lead the field of artist nominees for the second consecutive year, Tomlin became the evenings most honored recipient with six awards: Pop/Contemporary Album and Praise & Worship Album of the Year for his current acclaimed album See The Morning, Worship Song of the Year for “Holy is The Lord” from his RIAA Certified Gold album, Arriving, and Special Events Album of the Year for Passion: Everything Glorious.
“It’s an incredible honor to receive these GMA Dove nominations and awards. What a humbling gift to be honored by friends and peers...thank you,” says Tomlin. “I pray I can remain focused on carrying the message of a huge and loving God and his unending fame to the ends of the earth. I want to join my voice to that end.”
Tomlin, along with a gospel choir, also sang “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)” during the awards show, which is his adaptation of the famous hymn featured on See The Morning and penned in advance of the Amazing Grace feature film released in February by Samuel Goldwyn Films/Roadside Attractions/Bristol Bay Productions. Last night’s live rendition of the song will also begin airing in national television syndication in May as part of the GMA Dove Awards show.
