Today (Mar 25), celebrated worship artist Phil Wickham shares new music with his latest project Hymn of Heaven (Acoustic Sessions). The 12 track collection re-imagines songs Wickham shared in 2021 in a new, intimate, stripped-down setting. Hymn of Heaven (Acoustic Sessions) is available now to download/stream. Wickham’s Hymn of Heaven tour runs through June with an updated tour schedule here.

“There’s a cliff near our home that overlooks the ocean. It’s become my families ‘sunset spot’. We’ll pile into the van and head there to watch the sun come down over the Pacific, usually with some In-N-Out or ice cream in hand. It’s always a beautiful time together,” Wickham posts on social media when speaking about the inspiration behind the new collection. “I recorded ‘Hymn Of Heaven – Acoustic Sessions’ with that exact scene in mind. I actually have a photo of my kids at our ‘sunset spot’, and throughout the project I kept coming back to that photo. I wanted to make a version of ‘Hymn Of Heaven’ that would be a soundtrack to those kinds of moments…I hope and pray this album is a blessing. That it brings peace and focuses your heart on Jesus.”

Throughout the process of crafting new music during a global pandemic that created unprecedented obstacles for the local church, Wickham saw an opportunity – the church wasn’t relegated to a building. It was happening in our homes and in our hearts. “Hymn of Heaven is full of praise and thankfulness, just lifting up the name of Jesus and speaking what we really know the reality is even though we don’t see it,” he says. “All I want to do is facilitate moments where people can encounter the presence of God.”
