"Our small family at sixstepsrecords continues to be humbled by the ways God is using Chris and these songs all around the world," says Shelley Giglio, Chief Strategist for sixstepsrecords / Passion Conferences. "Simply being recognized with these nominations is a huge honor and something for which we are incredibly grateful."

The news of the GRAMMY ® nominations follows the release of How Great Is Our God: The Essential Collection on sixstepsrecords. Having recently celebrated his most recent RIAA Gold Certification for his 2009 Christmas recording, Glory In the Highest, bringing his total to one platinum and three gold albums, Tomlin entered the Billboard Top 200 at No. 40 with his latest record. Tomlin's first single from the project, "How Great Is Our God [World Edition]," features the international languages and voices of worship leaders from all over the globe.

Performing in front of sold out crowds everywhere, Tomlin recently finished the fall leg of his "And If Our God Is For Us..." tour in Birmingham, AL. 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.
