Contemporary Christian singer Chris Tomlin has just released the single "Jesus" from his forthcoming studio album, which he wrote to provide comfort to people facing challenges in their lives.

"I hope you're encouraged no matter where you find yourself when you hear this song," Tomlin said. "Know that Jesus is with you, He is for you and He loves you."

The lyrics of the song go: "There is a truth/ Older than the ages/ There is a promise/ Of things yet to come/ There is one/ Born for our salvation/ Jesus."

Tomlin earlier asked his fans to be part of the music video for "Jesus" by submitting personal photos and videos of their praises and prayers for God.

"We've been receiving so many stories from all over the country and all over the world about people who are going through the hardest times or going through the best times and how Jesus has been right there," Tomlin shared. "They're reaching out to Jesus in the low days and the high days as well."

Meanwhile, Tomlin is currently busy travelling all around America to host the "Worship Night in America" events, which he hopes would bring people together to worship God and pray for the nation.

The string of events started on July 9 at The Forum in Los Angeles and then at the Pepsi Center on July 14. He will travel to Sears Centre Arena on July 16, then off to the American Airlines Arena on July 19. Tomlin will wrap up the tour on July 23 at the Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Last year's events drew in thousands of fans and sold out tickets in Madison Square Garden, Denver's Red Rocks Amphitheater, and Sacramento's Sleep Train Arena. Tomlin is optimistic that more people would attend this year's worship events and break previous records.
