Songs of Ascension – A Live Recording by Nqobile Shika (Nqo)

Songs of Ascension is more than just a live recording—it is a prophetic sound, a sacred moment of worship, and a divine collaboration between Great Light Church and Nqobile Shika, the worship pastor of Great Light Church. Born from a place of prayer, revelation, and deep intimacy with the Spirit, these songs capture the heart of victory and ascension, echoing the triumph of Jesus Christ as He conquered death and took His rightful place above all.

At its core, Songs of Ascension is an embodiment of the songs of heaven—the songs of victory that resounded in the courts of glory when Christ ascended. The scriptures give us glimpses of such songs, most notably in Revelation 5:12, where the heavenly host sings:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” (Revelation 5:12, NIV)

These are Songs of Migration, melodies that proclaim the journey from suffering to glory, from the grave to the throne, from the earthly to the heavenly. They are not only about the ascension of Jesus but also about the ascension of the believer—our rising with Christ, as scripture declares:

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:6, NIV)

Songs of Ascension is a call to live from above, to worship with the awareness that we are no longer bound by the limitations of the earthly realm but are positioned in victory with Christ. Through this live recording, Nqobile Shika ushers us into a realm where worship is not just sung but experienced, where sound becomes an instrument of transformation, and where heaven and earth converge in divine harmony.
