Background
Weeks before its official release, Wickham teased "The King Is in the Room", slating its release for February 21, 2025.[5][6] The song first premiered to Air1 radio stations.[7] Upon release, it was supported by both a music video and lyric video.[8][9] On March 13, a "chapel sessions" video was released.[10]
On April 11, 2025, Wickham released the song "What an Awesome God", a reimagination of the 1988 song "Awesome God" by Rich Mullins.[11] "What an Awesome God" features the chorus of Mullins' original song, with Wickham adding verses, "modern beats", and a "big choir sound".[12][13][14] Wickham had described the song, explaining that,
It's hard to even describe what it means to me to share a small part of the legacy of this song. What started as a fun idea in the studio grew into an unexpected new take on the "Awesome God" story. It has quickly become one of my favorite songs to sing with the church, proudly declaring each night how awesome our God is![12]
The song was supported by the release of both a lyric video as well as a music video.[15][16] On May 2, 2025, Wickham released a live performance video of the song being performed at Chris Tomlin's Good Friday concert in Nashville, Tennessee.[17]
On May 30, 2025, "Homesick for Heaven" was released as the album's third single.[18] Wickham mused that,
I’ve written several songs about Heaven over the years, but "Homesick for Heaven" may be the one that moves me the most. It all started with a line that came out while writing:
"I want to see my children run to Your arms."
That image lit something inside of me—a deep ache and a deeper hope. The thought of my kids experiencing the presence, joy, and healing of Jesus—it undid me. And it reminded me: every human heart was made for that. We were created to walk with God, to live in the fullness of His love, forever. Heaven isn’t just a distant dream—it’s the truest home, where Jesus reigns, sorrow is no more, and death is gone for good. That promise stirs me—not just for the future, but for how I live right now. I pray this song breathes hope into the brokenhearted and puts wind in the sails of those who are longing for more. This one carries eternity in it.[19]
"Homesick for Heaven" was supported by both a lyric video and music video.[20][21] On June 12, 2025, a live performance video was released, and on June 16, a piano performance video was released.[22][23]
On July 2, 2025 Wickham announced "Song of the Saints" for release as the title track for his upcoming album, which he slated for release in September.[24] The song was released as a promotional single on July 12, being supported by a lyric video and music video.[25][26][27] On August 11, 2025, an acoustic version of the song was released to YouTube.[28] On August 29, Wickham released a live video of his performance of the song at the Summer Worship Nights Tour.[29]
Predating the official release of the album, Song of the Saints was made available for preorder.[31] On September 12, 2025, Wickham performed a sold-out album release show in Nashville, Tennessee. The performance was livestreamed by K-Love.[32]
