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.

Phil Wickham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all you're left with is a tired and broken heart
I can tell by your eyes you think you're on your own
But you're not alone
Have you heard of the One who can calm the raging seas
Give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet
With a love so strong it never lets you go
No you're not alone
You will be safe in His arms. You will be safe in His arms
The hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made, He will be with you always
When everything is falling apart, you will be safe in His arms
Did you know that the voice that brings the dead to life
Is the very same voice that calls you now to rise
So hear Him now, He's calling you home. You will never be alone
You will be safe in His arms. You will be safe in His arms
The hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made, He will be with you always
When everything is falling apart, you will be safe in His arms
Cause these are the hands that built the mountains, the hands that calm the sea
These are the arms that hold the lame and they are holding you and me
These are the hands that heal the leper pull the lame up to their feet
These are the arms were nailed to the cross to break our chains and set us free
You will be safe in His arms. You will be safe in His arms
The hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made, He will be with you always
When everything is falling apart, you will be safe in His arms
You will be safe
You will be safe
When everything is falling apart, you will be safe in His arms
Phil Wickham's song Safe is a comforting reminder to those who feel alone and brokenhearted that they are never truly alone. The song is meant to inspire hope by reminding someone that there is always someone who is there for them, even in their darkest moments. The lyrics suggest that there is a divine force that is forever present and can help calm any extreme emotional storms that one may face.
The first verse of the song speaks directly to those who are feeling lost and brokenhearted, encouraging them to keep their faith even when everything seems uncertain. The second verse highlights the power of the divine force by describing a voice that can bring the dead back to life. This representation helps emphasize the idea that whatever hard times and struggles someone may be facing, they can find refuge in the strength of a higher power.
The chorus states that those who keep their faith and trust in the divine force will be safe in their arms. This imagery of a divine embrace is meant to provide solace and a sense of relief; it's as though the listener is being cradled and protected from the outside world. These arms, according to the lyrics, are capable of healing, bringing the lame up to their feet, and breaking chains. The song encourages listeners to believe in the power of the divine force and how it can help them overcome even the toughest obstacles.

Para aquele cujos sonhos desapareceram
E você saiu com um coração partido e desgraça
Posso dizer que você acha que está sozinha
Mas não está sozinha!
Você já ouviu falar daquele que acalma os mares
Dê a vista aos cegos, faça o bojo levantar-se
Com o poder do amor ninguém pode conter
Você não está sozinha
Você estará seguro.
Você estará seguro.
Essas mãos posso teu segurá-lo, não apenas o mundo.
Esta é a promessa, Com você, Deus estará.
Quando tudo é desmoronado, você estará seguro.

My rap verse be like:
Where there's smoke, then there's fire.
Where there's cold blood, a hot wire.
Where god resides in heaven, ONE DESIRE:
LOVE! And it can last forever, admire it!
Divine sorrow, drift on away,
I'll be safe on god's arms, like a child who waits
until the time has come to rise!
I'll never be alone, all right?
David Akers
Full First Part being like:
Para aquele cujos sonhos desapareceram (To the one whose dreams have disappeared)
E você saiu com um coração partido e desgraça (And you've left with broken heart and doom)
Posso dizer que você acha que está sozinha (I can tell you're alone)
Mas não está sozinha! (But you're not!)
Você já ouviu falar daquele que acalma os mares (Have you heard of the one whom calms the seas)
Dê a vista aos cegos, faça o bojo levantar-se (Give the blind Sight, make the lame stand up)
Com o poder do amor ninguém pode conter (With a power of love no one can contain)
Você não está sozinha (You won't be alone)
Você estará seguro.(You'll be safe)
Você estará seguro.(You'll be safe)
Essas mãos posso teu segurá-lo, não apenas o mundo.(These can hold you, not just the world.)
Esta é a promessa, Com você, Deus estará.(This is a promise, God will be with you.)
Quando tudo é desmoronado, você estará seguro.(When everything falls apart, you'll be safe.)

My version of the chorus would include extra lyrics used as counter-chorus:
The counter-chorus will be heard at the same time the chorus will be (a la Baby, It's Cold Outside's lyrics and formula) and it went a little like:
On through the night,
Into the daylight,
everything will be alright!
All through the days,
I will be safe!
God bless me, I will be safe!
Here's how the refrain would sound like: (counter chorus in parenthesis)
You will be safe in his arms (On through the night)
You will be safe in his arms (Into the daylight)
The hands that hold the world (Everything)
Are holding your heart (Will be alright)
This is the promise he made (All through the days)
He will be with you always (You will be safe)
When everything is falling apart (God bless you)
You will be safe in his arms (You will be safe)

This song is keeping me together.. My girlfriend Elizabeth is only 22 and has had to deal with more problems than people twice her age hardly have to make. She's been battling breast cancer, and it's something so easily taken for granted. Cherish your loved ones, and never forget to thank God for every small thing. Especially the answered prayers.
DDrummer
I hope everything is well. It's been 5 years now. Stay strong, David.

today's devotional said to "listen to your favorite worship song 3x's." I choose this song not only because in battling with depression and anxiety, but because when I'm alone with my own thoughts I feel so disconnected and alone. This song makes my day so much brighter. And that God is always with me.
