In a year when the family of God couldn't physically gather in houses of worship around the world, Phil Wickham wrote songs primed for communal praise. 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 the homes and hearts. As his heart longd for eternity, Wickham set out to express this universally experienced awakening, resulting in his eighth studio album, 'Hymn of Heaven' (Fair Trade Services).
