Check Out the New Lyric Video of Chris Tomlin and Pat Barrett's “As for Me”

Chris Tomlin has joined his friend and worship leader Pat Barrett for the new song "As for Me." The song was originally released on Barrett's Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly, (Bowyer & Bow / Capitol Christian Music Group). Barrett and Tomlin have just released the lyric video of "As for Me" which you can check out here.

"I loved getting to write and record 'As For Me' with my friends Chris Tomlin and Jason Ingram," recalls Pat Barrett. "Actually, it was one of the last songs to arrive for this project and feels so important to it. The verse from Joshua that the song is based on is one of the most famous verses in the scriptures...a refrigerator verse...so many people have it in their house somewhere that it can be almost 'too familiar' (if you know what I mean).

We can see and hear something so often that we forget how simple and profound it is. For me, it deals with the question: 'What do you do with the things that you can't control in the world?' We are advertised to and bombarded with countless philosophies and 'ways' that we can live and improve our lives. I have reached the age now where I've seen a lot of people choose a different way than Jesus. Joshua 24:15: But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Everyone has a choice to make, and I've made mine."

Your love oh Lord is strength to my soul

Hope for tomorrow it won't let go

Your presence is the joy of my life To You I lift my eyes  

As for me and my house we will serve the Lord 

We will sing of Your love forevermore

As for me and my house we will serve the Lord

Serve the Lord   

"Personally, Pat is not only one of my closest friends but one of my favorite artists and worship leaders today," shares Chris Tomlin. "He is extremely talented and an incredible voice for the modern church. I have been waiting in great anticipation for the world to be able to hear and experience this music and what it represents and I couldn't be more excited."
