This week’s featured song story comes to us from Phil Wickham. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Song In My Soul (feat. Hollyn).”
“There was a time where I was like is this gonna fit on my record? Cause it’s a great song but it’s got this more gospel, funky thing to it and musically I didn’t know if it was going to fit in or feel like a black sheep. But as we started working on this song in the studio me and my producer Jonathan Smith, we kind of were like we think we should have a girl sing on this, make it a duet kind of vibe.We racked our brains for a bit thinking well who could do it? So we kind of made a wishlist and this amazing young singer named Hollyn was on the top of that list and it was like, I wonder if she’s in town? She’s got this incredible voice and we knew she could nail this kind of vibe. So I texted her and she’s like ‘I’m there.’ And so she showed up, sang the song and killed it. This song is like the smile in the middle of the record. Some songs get kind of emotional or anthemic or cinematic, but this is one you can smile, clap along, and sing along to. I love that that’s what this song’s adding to the record and I hope you like it too.” – Phil Wickham

“Song In My Soul (feat. Hollyn)” Lyrics
There’s a song in my soul
And I feel it stirring in me
This I know for sure
That Your love is like a flood
And Your mercy never ending
I give my song to You
There’s a joy in my soul
And it rises like the morning
This I know for sure
That Your grace is enough
And Your promise never breaking
I give my song to You
CHORUS
All of Your goodness
Is like a well running over
Oh my soul it sings for You
For all of Your goodness
I will love You forever
All my songs I sing for You
All my songs I sing for You
There’s a hope in my heart
Burning bright in the darkness
This I know for sure
That I will look upon Your face
Forever dwell in Your presence
And always sing to You
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Let my life be to You a symphony
Singing out holy, holy
All my days every single breath I breathe
Singing out holy, holy
CHORUS
