#26: Chris Tomlin: See the Morning

Details: Chris Tomlin (b. 1972). See the Morning. Sparrow, 2006. Total time: 46:19.

This album is a follow-up to the smash hit,  Arriving,  previously written about here (#25). It is noticeably different in tone and tempo, much more subdued and stripped-down.

It sounds more like an album from a worship leader than an uptempo rock style CCM album in the vein of U2 or Coldplay, although there are still a few uptempo energetic numbers here and there, e.g. Rejoice.

Unchanged is Tomlin's earnest vocal delivery and skilled songwriting. Standout tracks are  the first three (How Can I Keep From Singing, Made to Worship,  and Let God Arise) and the final one, Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone), an excellent partial remake of the classic hymn.
