As Redman's first No. 1 single and with its impressive 16 week-long run at No. 1, "10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)" gains momentum with its two GRAMMY® nominations in the categories for Best Contemporary Christian Music Song and Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance. The widely popular song was written by Redman along with songwriter Jonas Myrin. In addition to the song nominations, Redman receives a third GRAMMY® nod this year for Best Contemporary Christian Music Song as a songwriter on the song "White Flag."

Internationally acclaimed recording artist and worship leader Chris Tomlin earns his eighth GRAMMY® nomination with the announcement of a nod to "White Flag" for Best Contemporary Christian Music Song.
