Today, platinum-selling singer/songwriter Josiah Queen offers up a joyous expression of faith with his soulful new single "when I see You." A spellbinding reflection on the promise of meeting Jesus in Heaven, "when I see You" is the latest glimpse at the 23-year-old rising star's massively anticipated new album Damascus Road, due out October 23. Go HERE to listen to "when I see You," and pre-order/pre-save Damascus Road HERE.

"I think about Heaven a lot, and especially what it'll be like to finally see Jesus face to face," says Queen. "I've always wondered what that moment will actually feel like -- what I'll say, what I'll do, or if I'll even have the words. I wrote this song imagining that moment and how the hope of seeing Him one day changes the way I want to live my life right now."

Produced by Dylan Thomas, "when I see You" marks a sonic departure from the larger-than-life folk-rock of songs like "demons" (a gold-certified hit also featured on Damascus Road). In a testament to his tremendous songwriting talents, the beautifully unhurried "when I see You" retains all the raw emotional power that's fueled his unstoppable momentum over the past year -- including emerging as the No. 2 most- streamed Christian artist globally, with more than 2.1 billion career streams to date.

Led by a laid-back but potent drumbeat and graceful acoustic guitar, "when I see You" opens with Queen contemplating an encounter he can only imagine, rendering his vision in exquisite detail ("Sometimes I will sit and wonder what You look like / I heard Your hair is white as wool and eyes are like fire / Heaven knows what I'll do"). With his vocals channeling both quiet wonder and aching urgency, the chorus unfolds in a wide-eyed cascade of questions: "Will I dance, will I sing / Will I bow before the King? / Only Heaven knows what I'll do / When I see You." As the lushly textured track builds to a soaring intensity, Queen fully illuminates its underlying message: the notion that anticipating an eventual encounter with Jesus can transform the way that faith is lived in the present.

"when I see You" arrives as Queen continues the U.K./European leg of his Mt. Zion Tour -- a hugely successful headline run that began with a sold-out U.S. trek and closes out in Brussels on September 27. Next spring, he'll embark on his biggest headline outing to date: the fast-selling Damascus Road Tour, launching on April 8 at BOK Center in Tulsa. Just three years after playing 400-capacity rooms, Queen will take the stage at arenas across North America, including marquee venues like Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis (4/10), Spectrum Center in Charlotte (4/17), Target Center in Minneapolis (4/24), Honda Center near Los Angeles (4/29), and more.

Along with "when I see You" and "demons" (a No. 1 hit on Christian radio that also topped Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart) , Damascus Road includes the previously released "judas,"" make heaven crowded," and "sundays " (recently hailed by Holler as a "powerful , uplifting anthem"). His third studio album, the 14-song LP follows 2025's Mt. Zion -- a chart-topping release nominated for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year at the 2026 GMA Dove Awards, where Queen picked up seven nominations total (including Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year). Expanding on the finely honed songcraft and far-reaching impact of hits like his platinum-certified Billboard Hot 100 smash "Dusty Bibles," Damascus Road ultimately finds Queen revealing entirely new dimensions of his faith-centered songwriting.
