Background

Elevation Worship first released a live performance video of the song recorded during a worship service at Elevation Ballantyne on December 28, 2017. [3] The song was released by Elevation Worship on Hallelujah Here Below on September 28, 2018. [4] Chris Brown spoke of the song, [4] saying: "I love the message the Christmas season carries –– that 2,000 years ago God entered into our broken, messy lives. "Here Comes Heaven" is a joyful declaration that He's still doing the same today."

Writing and development

Chris Brown had an interview with Kevin Davis, a lead contributor at NewReleaseToday about the song and the inspiration behind it. [5] Davis asked about the personal story behind the song, to which Brown responded, saying:

We've always found it an interesting dynamic at church when we enter the Christmas season. In our church, we like to play some traditional Christmas hymns in our services on the weekends. But, those songs don't always engage people in worship. It's nice to hear Christmas hymns in December, and we like to draw people into the presence of God. We've always had an interesting dynamic where we sing upbeat versions of "Joy to the World" and "Angels We Have Heard on High." We've been looking for a way to write a piece about the Christmas season where it's a worship song first, as well as a Christmas song. We attempted it once before with "Let Us Adore," a song on one of our prior albums. And, it served us well. That was about four years ago. Within that context, about a year ago, we got together to write "Here Comes Heaven." We wrote it on a Monday and performed it in church the following Sunday. The song started with the lyric "Here Comes Heaven." Our pastor Steven Furtick was once a worship pastor and is an avid worshipper. When he prepares his Christmas sermons, he's always thinking about which phrases and themes from his sermons could translate into worship lyrics. That's how his mind works. He was thinking along the lines of "Here Comes Heaven" as an interesting way to approach a Christmas message.
