Phil Vassar Releases a Re-Imagined Version of His Hit "There is God"

Multi-platinum selling Phil Vassar reminds us, all I'm asking for is love, on "This is God." The re-imagined song is emotionally-charged with Vassar's meticulous piano melodies complimenting his haunting verses that echo a warning for God's creation to permanently unite in peace and love.

Hey, this is God
Can I please have your attention
There's a need for intervention
Man, I'm disappointed in what I'm seeing
Yeah, this is God
You fight each other in my name
Treat life like it's a foolish game
I'd say you've got the wrong ideaOh all I'm asking for is love
I've seen you hurt yourselves enough
Oh I've been waiting for a change in you

First released in 2003, "This is God" was a Top 20 hit for Vassar, peaking at No. 17 on Billboard's 'Hot Country Songs' chart. The Christian Broadcasting Network exclusively premiered the re-recorded track writing, "Phil has taken the favorite of 17 years and updated the sound with even more layers of instruments, while his velvety and sometimes gritty vocals easily fly from deep bass notes into tenor heights. (CBN.com/ Kimberly Carr)"    

2020 marks an important anniversary for Vassar, 20 years since his first No. 1 single, "Just Another Day in Paradise," was released. To celebrate, Vassar released his long-awaited 10th studio album, Stripped Down. The album's effortless production puts the songs front and center. It features songs written over the past 20 years but never-before recorded and new music, including "This is Where The End Starts", co- written with daughter, Haley Vassar and Vassar's take on "Postmarked Birmingham," a hit he wrote for Blackhawk.
