MultiTracks Now Available from Children of God by Phil Wickham Friday, April 22, 2016 In 2014, doctors discovered a vocal polyp on Phil Wickham's vocal cord and though it could be removed, there was a chance that he might never be able to sing professionally again. After accepting the treatment, he was faced with a very uncertain future. He shares, "I remember a few days after the diagnosis, I was on my knees asking God for some peace and clarity and a sense of Him in it all. All of the sudden I had this strong sense of God's presence there with me. There have only been a few times in my life where I felt, undeniably, His voice speaking to me. This was one of them. I felt, undeniably, His voice speaking to me. He said my identity is not in what I do, but it's in who He says I am. He said 'I'm your father. You're my child. Trust me.'" With a newfound peace and a renewing of his passion, Phil sat down to write songs and the result was Children of God, his new studio album that released worldwide today.

The songs have been crafted out of an understanding of our dependence upon Jesus, that we live and move in Him. When our fractured walls crumble at His feet and all of running faults come to a standstill, we take a hold of the the life that was meant to be lived in Christ - it’s no longer us who are living but Christ who lives in us." We previously released the MultiTracks from the album's first single, "Your Name," and now we are excited to bring you the rest of the album.
