From Song of the Saints (2025). Song of the Saints is the eleventh studio album by American contemporary Christian singer Phil Wickham, released on 12 September 2025 by Fair Trade Services and Columbia Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Morgan AC20 Deluxe, the nearest rig we use for Phil Wickham's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
