Christian worship leader Chris Tomlin directed hearts toward God at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, seeing evidence of spiritual awakening across the nation.
Standing before leaders and the world’s eyes, Tomlin sang “How Great Is Our God,” affirming faith’s place at the center of American public life.
“For Jesus to be proclaimed so boldly throughout this whole day by everyone … what an awakening moment in our nation. It feels like a shift; it feels like this real awakening that so many people have been praying for,” he shared.
Erika Kirk’s Christlike forgiveness offered to her husband’s killer deeply impacted those present, illustrating the transformative power of living faith.
“Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ That young man … I forgive him,” she said.
“I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.”
Tomlin described this demonstration of grace as a worldwide testimony, one inspiring faith in thousands, and prayed it would mark a turning point for the nation.
He shared his own sense of humble dependence on God to lead, finding solace in praising the name above all earthly powers.
“I kept thinking about the words that I was singing over our nation, over the world: ‘Above all thrones and dominions, positions and positions, Your name stands above them all.’”
Encounters like meeting a former soldier moved by Kirk’s witness reinforce Tomlin’s confidence that God’s Spirit is stirring hearts throughout America.
His soon-to-release album, “The King Is Still the King,” boldly reminds believers of Christ’s enduring authority and victory, both sacrificial and triumphant.
“When Jesus was on this Earth, He wore a crown of thorns … a crown of mockery, of shame, of taking on the forgiveness of the world. And yet today, He wears the crown of King of Kings,” Tomlin explained.
Tomlin’s testimony and music continue to point the next generation toward forgiveness, unity, and unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ.
Join us in praying for a spiritual renewal in our nation, confident that only God can bring true healing and freedom.
