23 July 2021 - Brentwood, TN - Today's the day -- Phil Thompson's album Lion of Judah, his 11-song project with Integrity Music, is out now. Also releasing today is his music video for the track "Redeeming the Years," which can be viewed here or below.

It was in 2017 when Phil Thompson stepped forward from behind the songwriting pen and committed to one goal - worship. Since then, the Gospel and worship artist has crisscrossed the globe worshipping throughout Ghana, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, the Caribbean Islands, and the U.S., and with the songs found on Lion Of Judah, he is still sharing the same heart of passionate devotion with the world.

Writing these songs on the hope and faith rising out of the ashes of the past year, Lion Of Judah is his response to the anxiety and troubles that we all face and reminding the body of Christ of the solid hope found in Jesus.

"These are songs I wrote during the pandemic, which was a stressful time for us all," Thompson explains. "From standing on His promises when we’re full of fear to surrendering and welcoming newness and freshness... from sinking in anxiety to overcoming and boldly proclaiming who we are it felt like everything burned to the ground but now, the ground is more fertile than it’s ever been."

To celebrate the album's release, Thompson will hold two album release concerts - the first this Sunday, July 25 in Durham, NC followed by a show in Boston the following week on Sunday, August 1. Tickets can be found at LionOfJudahLive.com.
