Phil Wickham (Philip)



One of my favorite songs.
One of my favorite musicians.

I saw him at Heavenfest in June and it just blew me away, he's terribly amazing live. I can't say that very many artists sound the same or better performing live as they do on their cd's.
Even better than the hobros (Jobros)(Jonas Brothers) plus it was without the jumping and fire and screaming that allowed me to scream in my sister's ear yet neither one of us could hear any of what I said.
The screaming, it just, it became so loud and high that it simply reached the maximum decibel possible in the world and made all other sounds mute as it lingered there in a kind of white noise.

But enough about that sillyness



I had to listen to this song quite a few times before it really hit me. He talked about it at Heavenfest, about how he just put it on the album but later really started to love it and since it's what my t-shirt says I figured I should give it a try.
And one day last week I was driving to school with it on and tears just started streaming down my face.
And I got it.
I coudn't force it to happen earlier, or make myself love it. I've had the album for over a year but never gave it a second thought.
It's like we know all thse Bible verses but sometimes when we hear them at just the right time it's like discovering something brand new and painfully relevent in our life right at that moment or week or season.

  2. He is SO amazing.
    Divine Romance is and will always be one of my favorite songs - Phil Wickham is really re-inventing contemporary Christian songwriting.
    His songs are incredibly spirit-filled and amazing.
    A well-timed revelation is always the best kind.
    Love&Light, sweetheart!
