I would say in his defense on this vid here, it sounds a little flat b/c he's not projecting his voice very much.
As for those who are saying this should be a Hillsong United song instead of Tomlin, listen to them talk in this vid. With most of these worship artists, it's not about a Tomlin song, or a Redman song, or a HU song...as they did here, they often work together to compose music to lift up praise and worship to God. That's what it's about, not who gets to produce it and sell it.
I don't know what you're talking about. The tune isn't really flat at all. and its pretty moving. I feel on the record it has a lot more feeling. That's about it.
@xaznguitaristx That's because there's a choir behind him, electric guitars, cymbal "shimmies" or whatever they're called, and basically more texturing of sound. This is more stripped down; that's why I think it seems like it has less feeling here.
Thank GOD for gifts like Chris Tomlin to the Body of CHRIST. Ohh how true the words to the song. AWAKENING....it's what the Body of CHRIST needs today. If we are going to see true change in our nation and world today. We need to awake from our sleep and shine the light of the Gospel to a lost and hurting nation and world. LORD JESUS awaken us today, we pray in JESUS Name. Amen...
man...good thing you have NO idea what you are talking about...the song is amazing and the song is powerful and maybe you don't like it because you need its message the most!
It's just my opinion. As a worship leader, I would never pick this song. You have to have a good melody, too. It shouldn't wait until the Bridge to get interesting. Chris Tomlin is one of my favorite songwriters. by the way.
This song made me cty when I heard it.

I think it doesn't really matter if he's flat or sharp or whatever. He's singing to praise and glorify God, which is really what matters.

They have a great heart, and a great message--but the song, the tune is flat. Musically its not very moving.
