The first single off the album, "This Is Amazing Grace," has embraced its own ascension, making its way up the charts to the No. 1 spot Billboard's National Christian Audience Chart this week. The No. 1 is the first of Wickham's career.
"This Is Amazing Grace was written to give the church a new song to both worship through and sing together," said Phil Wickham. "It's been awesome to see the way that this song has been impacting Christian radio listeners, and I'm honored to be a part of the work God is doing through it."
"This Is Amazing Grace," which was penned with the help of producer Pete Kipley (MercyMe, Matthew West) and Josh Farro, also landed the No. 1 spot on the Christian AC Monitored and Christian AC Indicator Charts. In addition, Wickham has achieved an impressive presence on iTunes®, consistently holding a Top 5 position on the iTunes® Christian & Gospel Songs Chart. The Ascension reveals a compelling compilation of powerful and melodic tracks inspired by the Songs of Ascent passages found in the book of Psalms.
