“You Are My King (Amazing Love)” is available now ahead of Easter Sunday
Grammy-winning artist Chris Tomlin releases “You Are My King (Amazing Love) – Spotify Singles” as part of the first-ever Spotify Singles Easter campaign, just days ahead of his sold-out Good Friday Nashville concert at Bridgestone Arena.
“You Are My King (Amazing Love),” originally written almost 30 years ago by Billy James Foote, became a timeless song in churches around the world. Centered on the powerful lyric ‘Amazing love, how can it be, that You, my King, would die for me?,’ the song captures the heart of the gospel and Easter.
“Worship music is unlike any other- it’s not just recorded and released, it’s carried. From worship leader to worship leader, church to church, playlist to playlist, and generation to generation. These songs are bigger than any one artist – they belong to all of us,” said Tomlin. “‘You Are My King (Amazing Love)’ was deeply impactful for me early in my career, and it’s an honor to shine a new spotlight on it through the Easter Spotify Singles release. My hope is that this powerful song moves people today the way it moved me all those years ago.”
The annual Good Friday Nashville event began in 2017 and has continued each year, including virtually through a worldwide stream during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
Good Friday Nashville is the largest ticketed Christian concert ever at Bridgestone Arena. The event continues its reign as the longest-running annual charity-related concert at Bridgestone Arena as each year proceeds have gone back to the community. The event continues to benefit the foster care and adoption crisis through ‘For Others,’ a non-profit organization created by Tomlin and his wife Lauren. For Others is a collective of donors, nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies holistically addressing the crisis plaguing our nation’s most vulnerable through local and nationwide initiatives.
Good Friday Nashville is promoted and produced by Awakening Events who have enjoyed a 20-year touring relationship with Chris and generously donate their time, energy, and resources to this concert each year. Good Friday Nashville is presented by K-LOVE, Air1 and WAY-FM.
Last week, prior to Good Friday Nashville, Chris released “The First Hymn,” a song he co-wrote with friend Ben Fielding using the lyric and musical notations from the oldest surviving Christian hymn ever found. The two award-winning songwriters turned the 1,800-year-old song into a piece of modern worship music that is now being given back to the world almost two millennia later. The First Hymn Documentary was released on April 14th and is available for streaming on wonder.watch. “The First Hymn” song – both Studio & Live versions – are available now across all digital platforms, along with a lyric video and live video.
The First Hymn follows on the heels of his involvement in the The Last Supper movie, where he not only executive-produced but also recorded, mixed, mastered, and released (all in seven weeks) his song “No Greater Love,” as the end credits song for the film. This achievement was preceded by Tomlin’s involvement in Amazon Prime Video’s series, ‘House of David’ with his song, “After Your Heart” included in the soundtrack.
Tremendous achievements in 2024 included a record-breaking tour and the global success of the song “Holy Forever.” Tomlin recently announced a first-of-its-kind concert series taking place this year Worship Under The Stars inviting people to a breathtaking celebration of faith, worship, and the vast beauty of creation at hand-selected, spectacular outdoor venues -including Central Park in New York City, Red Rocks in Colorado, and Pier Six Pavilion in Baltimore.
