Behind The Song: Phil Wickham Shares The Heart Behind His Song “Till I Found You”

This week’s featured song story comes to us from Phil Wickham. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Till I Found You.”

“’Till I Found You’ was a song that came out of a really specific moment. I was leading worship at this church at lead at regularly called Harvest Christian Fellowship, one Wednesday night. At the end of these services sometimes the pastor Greg Laurie will give an opportunity to respond to the gospel. You know sometimes it’s four people, sometimes it’s fifteen. I just remember a flood of people started walking forward and getting hit by the beauty of that moment, where people are finding God for the first time and saying ‘Jesus I realize my need for you.’ The Lord spoke to my heart that these people were finding for the first time a love and a relationship that will last forever and never fail.” – Phil Wickham

“Till I Found You” Lyrics

I searched through the earth
For something that could satisfy
A peace for the hurt
I had buried deep inside
Knees on the floor
I finally found everything I needed
You lifted my soul
And opened up my eyes

CHORUS
I never knew anything lasts forever
Till I found You, till I found You
I never dreamed anything could be better
Till I found You, till I found You
You’re rewriting my story
And I’m brand new like a morning
I never knew anything lasts forever
Till I found You
Till I, till I found You

Gone are the days
I’m chasing after what won’t last
I’m done with building these castles
That crumble like sand
Knees on the floor I finally found
That everything I needed
Was always right in front of me
You gave me a name
And you change everything I am

CHORUS
