Here as in Heaven by Elevation Worship

Here as in Heaven is the 2016 live album from Elevation Worship, the team from Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was recorded before a large arena crowd in the band's full, modern style. The theme comes from the Lord's Prayer: the longing for heaven to break into the here and now.

Why listen?

The sound is bold live worship, driving drums and bright guitars under a wall of voices. The production is polished and roomy, built to carry an arena. The lyrics dwell on mercy, resurrection, and the call to come as you are. There is a clear movement from invitation to triumph across the set. It is music made for a crowd that wants to sing.

Favourite song: O Come to the Altar

The song that reached far beyond the album, a steady call to bring your burden and find mercy. Its plain invitation lifts it above the rest.

O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

The song moves from a gentle question to a full throated welcome home. It feels like the last turn of a long trail when the lights of home come into view. That open door at the end of a hard road is what stays with me.

Key takeaway

Here as in Heaven is a bold live worship record about mercy and homecoming. A lifting, singable listen.
