Born in Orange County son of well-known worship leader John Wickham. He moved to San Diego in the middle of junior high school, which spawned his career. Asked by his youth pastor to lead worship at the age of 12, Wickham accepted, encouraged by his father then a worship pastor at Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.
By 18, Wickham had released his debut CD, Give You My World, including the hit song "Shining." Surprised by its good reception, he began working on twelve new songs for his self-titled album, which was released on April 25, 2006 with Simple Records.Wickham's second release with Simple/INO Records, Cannons, was released in 2007. Cannons was inspired by cannon explosions and C.S. Lewis's book, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader from The Chronicles of Narnia series. Wickham stated in an interview with ChristianityToday.com that the album is "about how the universe is exploding with the glory of God, and how we are compelled to join in with its song." The 10th track from Cannons, "Jesus Lord of Heaven", has been translated into seven different languages. On August 8, 2008 Wickham released a live worship album titled singalong, recorded at Solid Rock Church in Portland, Oregon with 3000 fans present. The album was released as a free download, only available from his website, and received over 8,000 downloads within a week of being released. After the release of his singalong album, his self-titled debut climbed to No. 25 on iTunes Top Christian Albums chart (2 years after its initial release).
Wickham visits churches across the nation to play his music.
He recently (June 2008) performed at the Frenzy one-day Christian music festival, in Scotland.

The mountains shake and crumble
At Your name
The oceans roar and tumble
At Your name
Angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out
Lord of all the earth
We shout Your name, shout Your name
Filling up the skies
With endless praise, endless praise
Yahweh, Yahweh
We love to shout Your name, oh Lord
At Your name
The morning breaks in glory
At Your name
Creation sings Your story
At Your name
Angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out
Lord of all the earth
We shout Your name, shout Your name
Filling up the skies
With endless praise, endless praise
Yahweh, Yahweh
We love to shout Your name, oh Lord
There is no one like our God
We will praise you, praise you
There is no one like our God
We will sing, we will sing
There is no one like our God
We will praise you, praise you
There is no one like our God
We will sing, we will sing
There is no one like our God

At Your Name by Phil Wickham is a worship song that describes the unimaginable power and greatness of God. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “Lord of all the earth, we shout Your name,” emphasizing the all-encompassing sovereignty of God over the entire world. The first verse describes how even the natural elements, such as the mountains and oceans, tremble at the sound of God’s name. The second verse speaks about the beauty and wonder of creation and how it testifies to the glory of God. The song culminates in a declaration of praise to God for his unmatched greatness, as the worshippers sing “There is no one like our God.”
The use of poetic language in the lyrics of At Your Name adds to the depth and intensity of the song’s message. The personification of nature in the first verse (“mountains shake and crumble” and “oceans roar and tumble”) helps to convey the idea that God’s power is so great that it can affect even the non-human parts of creation. The repetition of the phrase “Yahweh, Yahweh” throughout the song emphasizes the Hebrew name for God, which means “I am who I am,” and highlights God’s self-existent nature. The song reminds us that God is not just a distant deity, but a personal God who desires to be worshipped and praised by his people.

There is no other name greater than the name of Jesus. He is my life. All of my days I will praise the Lord who gratefully serves me. This song proclaims that God is worthy of all of our praises. Forever I will worship him with all my heart.

I remember hearing my dad sing this song around the house like my whole life. Then years later Phil Wickham became like my favorite singer and it was so awesome to learn that that song that I’d heard my dad sing as a kid was sung by one of my favorite singers
