Primarily focusing on Christian worship music, Wickham's music style has been likened to that of Chris Tomlin. He normally fronts the band himself, playing a mixture of keyboard/piano and guitar while providing lead vocals. His wife, Sandy, herself a talented vocalist, often sings with him. They frequently lead worship services locally and in churches throughout the United States.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beautiful as who You are
Sweeter than all things
I long fo You
I will be the one
Satisfied in who You are
Lord, with all my heart
There is life, there is life
In who You are
There is love, there is love
In who You are

Jesus, this is my heart's desire
Less of me, and all of who You are
There can be no one
