Additional nominations Tomlin received today include Pop/Contemporary Album and Praise & Worship Album of the Year for See The Morning, Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song for “Made To Worship,” Worship Song of the Year for “Holy Is The Lord,” and Special Events Album for Passion: Everything Glorious.

“Wow! I am so humbled to receive these GMA Dove nominations in recognition of this music,” says Chris Tomlin after receiving the news of the nominations today. “In our world and culture of music that seems to be all about making a name for yourself, it's an honor to carry the message of the everlasting God and His unending fame. I will continue to try to write songs that give people a voice to worship God.”

Leading all artists last year with 10 nominations, Tomlin walked away from the 2006 GMA Music Awards with five Dove awards, including the top honors for Artist, Male Vocalist and Song of the Year for “How Great Is Our God,” which was also named Worship Song of the Year.
