Here as in Heaven

"Here as in Heaven" was recorded by Elevation Worship through the ministry of Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 2016 album captures the live, congregational worship experience of the church. Elevation Church is a prominent multi-site megachurch led by Pastor Steven Furtick.

The album features several tracks that became massive staples in contemporary worship, such as the title track "Here as in Heaven" and "Resurrecting." These songs were specifically written for congregational performance and combine devotional Christian lyrics with modern instrumentation. Many of these tracks charted highly on Christian music billboards.

The songs were collaboratively written by the Elevation Worship team, which frequently includes their lead pastor, Steven Furtick. The album features worship leaders like Chris Brown and Mack Brock, who contributed heavily to the songwriting process. This writing team is known for crafting lyrics focused on spiritual healing and the Holy Spirit.

The album firmly falls into the contemporary worship music genre, featuring grand atmospherics, driving electric guitars, and anthemic, singable melodies. It was recorded live to capture the energy and passion of the congregation. This style is heavily comparable to other modern megachurch collectives like Hillsong Worship and Bethel Music.
