Nashville, Tenn. (September 24, 2013) - Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Phil Wickham has been widely embraced for his compelling vocals and vibrant lyrics, and the release of his latest project The Ascension continues to showcase that. Released today, September 24, The Ascension was inspired by the Songs of Ascent passages found in the book of Psalms. Ten years and nine records in, Phil shows no signs of slowing down with his modern Songs of Ascent bringing together powerful, melodic hymns that carry throughout the 11-track record. His current single "This Is Amazing Grace" leads the pact anchoring the project as a "solid worship album." See who else is applauding The Ascension:
