Background

"Till I Found You" was a song that came out of a really specific moment. I was leading worship at this church at lead at regularly called Harvest Christian Fellowship, one Wednesday night. At the end of these services sometimes the pastor Greg Laurie will give an opportunity to respond to the gospel. You know sometimes it’s four people, sometimes it’s fifteen. I just remember a flood of people started walking forward and getting hit by the beauty of that moment, where people are finding God for the first time and saying ‘Jesus I realize my need for you.’ The Lord spoke to my heart that these people were finding for the first time a love and a relationship that will last forever and never fail.

In partnership with Spotify, Phil Wickham released Spotify Singles, a two-song collection recorded at the Sound Stage in Nashville, Tennessee which included a re-imagined version of "Till I Found You" and a cover of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" on October 24, 2018.[9][10] The song was released to Christian radio on March 15, 2019.[2]
