Chris Tomlin Releases "See the Morning" Sept. 26

Closing the album is “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone),” a new rendition of the classic hymn. After researching the song, Tomlin discovered that the famous last verse was actually written 100 years after John Newton wrote the hymn. Tomlin also discovered an original verse to the song that we no longer sing, but is as relevant today as when it was written. So, Chris took that original verse and, together with Passion founder/director Louie Giglio, co-wrote a new bridge featured on See The Morning:

My chains are gone/I’ve been set free/My God, my Savior has ransomed me. And like a flood His mercy reigns/Unending love, Amazing grace
