About “Hymn Of Heaven”
Wickham wrote the songs for Hymn of Heaven during the 2020 season when congregations around the world could not physically gather, and he framed the album as praise that declares what is true even when it is unseen. Of the title track, co-written with Bethel's Brian Johnson, Bill Johnson, and Chris Davenport, he explained that the song is all about bringing heaven to this moment, with the way we act, speak, and live, letting Jesus be the king. It became one of the defining worship songs of his eighth studio album, released in June 2021.
