The chart-topping single "O Come To The Altar" from the GRAMMY Award-winning and multi-platinum group Elevation Worship has been certified Double Platinum by the RECORDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (RIAA). This is their first double-platinum single.
"I'm completely blown away by the news that 'O Come To The Altar' has touched this many lives," shares Elevation Worship's Chris Brown, who co-wrote the song with Pastor Steven Furtick, Mack Brock, and Wade Joye. "I think it's amazing that a song about the open invitation Jesus offers all of us to come just as we are to Him has meant so much to so many."
Listeners will be able to experience "O Come To The Altar" live beginning October 3, when the group will embark on the next leg of their Elevation Nights Tour with Pastor Furtick. Kicking off in Miami, some of the eight tour stops have already sold out. To find a city near you, visit Elevation Nights Tour for more information.
