Massively talented and hugely popular Christian musician Phil Wickham turned in an utterly captivating and stunning live rendition of “Back to Life.”

Death is sadly something that all will experience. It’s likely that it has already touched and impacted our lives in one way or another. Whenever those instances of death do occur in our lives, when we lose a loved one, it’s a season filled with immense pain, hurt and heartache.

However, whenever someone thinks about death, they immediately think of a physical death. Yes, all will experience a physical death. Our bodies are temporary and will eventually wear out and waste away. But there is another type of being dead, one that can and does happen when someone is still alive. It’s called being spiritually dead. 

In his song “Back to Life,” Phil Wickham sings about being brought back to life by the life-changing power and love of Jesus Christ. The song is about being dead spiritually, living in sin and leading a life contrary to Christ's teachings and commands. 

However, Christ does spiritually bring people back to life. He freely offers forgiveness, hope, love and a future. He can take someone dead in their sin, the absolute worst sinner and bring them back to life, giving them a purpose and future.

Phil’s beautiful lyrics capture the significant change that takes place when someone turns to Christ, and He brings them back to life spiritually.

“Where was dead religion

Now, there is living faith

All of my hope and freedom

I found in Jesus name”

As Phil adds in the song, when we are brought back to life by Him, it is no longer us but Christ who lives in us. The Bible mentions that if we are in Christ, we are actually made new and become an entirely different creation.

Praise His excellent name!
