Eventually I’m going to write a whole post dedicated entirely to how wonderful Phil Wickham’s music is and how grateful to God I am that he isn’t using his talent to make meaningless songs that would probably make him ridiculously famous, screaming girls and all.
Because Instead! He is a modern-day David singing love songs to Jesus.
His lyrics, his voice, his passion…they are beyond compare. Every song is magical. He is the real deal.
BUT
this particular post is just about one song of his that is just overwhelmingly beautiful. I had to get it out here because it’s that good.
You know those songs that you can turn up to a ridiculous volume, close your eyes, and it takes you right to Heaven, face to face with the King?
Yup, this is one of those for me.
You raise me beyond the skies, into a city of eternal light
Looking down on the stars, I fly into heaven, caught up in Your arms
I breathe Your fragrance, taste Your goodness,
Crumble to pieces into Your love
Now, in Your presence all my existence
Crumbles to pieces into Your love
I’m speechless what can I say
Words become tears as You wipe them away
All my kisses and crowns at your feet
Fire of heaven burn love over me…
I breathe Your fragrance, taste Your goodness,
Crumble to pieces into Your love
Now, in Your presence all my existence
Crumbles to pieces into Your love…
It’s such a beautiful story
I’m face to face with the King of glory
You rescued someone unworthy, I know this is love.
