Editor's note

Phil Wickham writes church songs that stick.

A California songwriter whose acoustic pop worship tunes became Sunday morning staples.

For a good sense of his lane, try 'House Of The Lord' or 'Your Love Awakens Me'. They're pretty much the blueprint.

Songs like 'House Of The Lord' and 'Your Love Awakens Me' are sung in churches every week. They're built on simple acoustic arrangements and direct lyrics that aim for a communal feeling. That kind of consistent, unadorned presence matters in contemporary Christian music.

He started playing guitar as a teenager in San Diego and joined a church band. His debut 'Heaven and Earth' arrived in 2006, and he's kept a steady output of albums like 'Cannons' and 'Living Hope' since.

Archive material and source history

Phil Wickham grew up in San Diego, California, where he started playing guitar and writing songs as a teenager. He joined a church band during those years, which gave him his first real outlet for music. His debut album 'Heaven and Earth' came out in 2006, setting the tone for what would follow.

His songs like 'House Of The Lord' and 'Your Love Awakens Me' have become staples in many churches, built around acoustic pop arrangements and straightforward worship lyrics. He's released several albums since, including 'Cannons,' 'Response,' and 'Living Hope,' maintaining a consistent presence in contemporary Christian music without much stylistic departure.

In his early twenties, Wickham dealt with a period of depression that affected his work and outlook. He's spoken about coming through that time with support from his community and faith. More recently, his 2015 appearance at the Passion Conference drew some criticism over the event's stance on LGBTQ+ issues, which led Wickham to clarify his personal views on inclusion.
