Discography

Commercial releases

Always

In 2022, Tomlin released Always. The title track is one he considers the eternal, everlasting song. According to Tomlin, “Hebrews 13:8 says, ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever,’ and that's really the heart of this song. I love how it speaks to the miracles that we’ve read of Jesus when he walked this earth. Our faith is not a faith that’s just 30 minutes old, or the faith of just our parents, but it’s generations before us and generations after us. It’s a long line of those who’ve run the race.”

The album's “Holy Forever” is the one that Tomlin considers the anchor of this anthology. “It’s a song that sounds like Heaven to me. It has this transcendence about it.” For him, worship music usually has two distinct lanes—song of transcendence, and songs of deliverance and rescue. “This one takes you into the spiritual realm. It takes you into a place of worship where your spirit’s connecting to something eternal.”

Featured guests on Always include Elevation Worship, Brandon Lake, and Steffany Gretzinger. Producers included Ben Glover, Bryan Fowler, Ed Cash, Jeff Sojka, Jonathan Smith and Lady A’s Dave Haywood. [34]
