Phil Wickham returns with a new album The Ascension, focused on the forward movement we are all called to make in our personal walk of faith. Wickham's compelling vocals and spiritual sensibilities have a way of taking deeper concepts and making them instantly accessible.
Producer Pete Kipley returns, too, building on his long history of collaborating with Phil. Together they have created an album that features Wickham's soaring vocal range, skilled guitar licks, and unexpected yet sing-able melodies. Wickham creates beautiful word pictures, in this case drawing on the image of each of us ascending the mountain of God. Of course, it's not an easy climb. There are obstacles along the way and worldly distractions abound, clamoring for our attention. But if we persevere, we can find the life we were meant to have, a life in His presence that inspires a longing for Heaven.

Phil Wickham
Phil Wickham is a Contemporary Christian music vocalist/songwriter and guitarist from California.
Born in Orange County son of well-known worship leader John Wickham, Phil came to a point where he made his father's faith his own when he was 12 years old. He moved to San Diego in the middle of junior high school where his career as a worship leader was spawned when he was asked by his youth pastor to lead worship. Wickham accepted, encouraged by his father then a worship pastor at Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa.
By 18, Wickham had released his debut CD, Give You My World, which included the hit song "Shining." Surprised by its good reception, he began working on twelve new songs for his self-titled album, which was released in 2006.
The 10th track from his 2007 release Cannons, "Jesus Lord of Heaven", has been translated into seven different languages and several of his songs like "This is Amazing Grace" are sung the world over.
