GRAMMY®-nominated and multi-platinum modern worship artist Phil Wickham releases a brand new single, "Homesick For Heaven." This song paints a beautiful picture of longing for our time in Heaven. Co-written with Jonathan Smith, listen to "Homesick For Heaven" now.

"I've written several songs about Heaven over the years, but Homesick for Heaven may be the one that moves me the most," shares Phil Wickham. "It all started with a line that came out while writing: "I want to see my children run to Your arms." That image lit something inside of me-a deep ache and a deeper hope. The thought of my kids experiencing the presence, joy, and healing of Jesus-it undid me. And it reminded me: every human heart was made for that. We were created to walk with God, to live in the fullness of His love, forever. Heaven isn't just a distant dream-it's the truest home, where Jesus reigns, sorrow is no more, and death is gone for good. That promise stirs me-not just for the future, but for how I live right now. I pray this song breathes hope into the brokenhearted and puts wind in the sails of those who are longing for more. This one carries eternity in it."

This year, Wickham has released new music to his listeners, generating momentum on social platforms, streaming, and Christian radio platforms. His first release, "The King Is In The Room," was his largest debut to date. Last month, Wickham surpassed this career-high with his second release, "What An Awesome God." On the heels of his two largest debut singles, both of which have already reached the Top 15 at Christian radio, "Homesick For Heaven" is his third release as Wickham works toward a fall album and continues to create excitement for what's next.
