Phil Wickham Sings The Ache Of Eternity In New Worship Song “Homesick For Heaven (The Way Home)”

NASHVILLE, TN. Phil Wickham Sings The Ache Of Eternity In New Worship Song “Homesick For Heaven (The Way Home)” With eyes lifted and hearts stirred, Phil Wickham releases a melody that echoes from the edge of eternity. His newest single, “Homesick For Heaven,” arrived at midnight and instantly became more than just a song—it became a prayer, a homespun echo of heaven whispered across earth’s dust.

Wickham has been acclaimed for songs like “Awesome God” and “Living Hope,” drawing us upward once again with a lyrical masterpiece born from spiritual ache and holy imagination. “Homesick For Heaven” invites believers on a journey beyond the veil, painting vibrant scenes of walking with Moses on streets of gold and dancing with David before the throne of glory.

The song’s heartbeat lies in its chorus, a soul-stirring confession that captures the tension between the beauty of now and the promise of forever. It reflects Romans 8:23:

“We ourselves… groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.”

Produced by longtime collaborator Jonathan Smith, the single is wrapped in Phil Wickham’s signature ethereal sound—angelic vocals layered over a cinematic build that crescendos into worshipful triumph. It’s the sound of a soul reaching home.

In a world heavy with burdens, “Homesick For Heaven” offers weightless hope. It’s not just a worship song—it’s a beacon for the wandering, a reminder that this world is not our home. As Hebrews 13:14 proclaims: “For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.”
