Phil Wickham, Leeland, Vicky Beeching, Kathryn Scott + more - Publishing Royalties

Every week, worship teams put these songs on the screen, and congregations sing them. Churches license them through CCLI and report the songs they sing, and those reports produced about 62% of the last twelve months’ earnings. Some of these songs have been part of church services since Vineyard UK first recorded them in 1999.

Since mid-2025, the catalog has paid between about $290 and $375 per quarter. Print royalties, which include church lyric licensing, make up 58% of earnings. Streaming adds 29%, from church service streaming licenses and from Apple Music, Amazon, and Spotify. The United States accounts for 69% of earnings and the United Kingdom for 22%, with payments from 37 countries.

“Above All Else” leads the catalog, earning 63% of the last twelve months and drawing about 1.4 million streams. First released in 2002, it is still sung and licensed by churches every quarter. Most of the catalog’s income depends on this one song.

The four top songs, “Above All Else,” “Awesome God,” “At All Times,” and “There’s No One Like Our God,” earn 89% of the total. All four were first released between 1999 and 2002, and congregations still sing them today. Because church licensing pays on the songs churches actually use, these worship songs have kept earning long after their release.

These songs have been recorded by a wide range of worship artists. “Emmanuel” was recorded as a duet between Vicky Beeching and Phil Wickham on Beeching’s 2010 album Eternity Invades. Wickham is a Dove Award winner and Grammy nominee, has had multiple No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Christian chart, and has written songs with Brandon Lake. Nine more songs in this catalog come from the same album, with backing vocals from Leeland, a worship band nominated for both Grammy and Dove Awards.

“All That I Need” was recorded in 2000 by Kathryn Scott, a lead voice on Vineyard UK’s Hungry album. “There’s No One Like Our God” first appeared on Hungry in 1999, sung by Wendy O’Connell, and Beeching recorded it again on her 2005 album Yesterday, Today and Forever.

“Above All Else” also appears on Yesterday, Today and Forever. Gospel artist Juanita Bynum covered it on her 2006 album A Piece of My Passion, which reached No. 55 on the Billboard 200. The New York Times called Bynum “the most prominent black female television evangelist in the country.”

These songs are sung in churches around the world, with church licensing payments from 37 countries in the last twelve months.
