Bethel Music Releases 'All The Glory' Live as World Tour Continues

It started as a voice memo on a phone — the kind of rough idea musicians record late at night and never open again. Instead, John Wilds' little melody survived, grew teeth, and became "All The Glory (Live)," the new Bethel Music single that dropped on October 9 with a live performance video. It is the first release from a forthcoming 2027 live album, and it has already become the anthem of the collective's world tour.

Wilds is the worship leader at the center of it all. He did not set out to write a global worship song; he set out to capture a moment of praise. What came out of that voice memo has now traveled from a quiet writing room to packed arenas across two countries.

Bethel Music New Song 2026: The Voice Memo That Became an Anthem

Here is how a voice memo becomes a worship anthem. Wilds took his rough idea into a writing retreat with Brooke Ligertwood and Josh Baldwin — two of the most trusted songwriters in modern worship. Baldwin, whose own new album just called the church to deeper worship this year (see Josh Baldwin Releases 'Worth Everything' — New Worship Album Calls Hearts Home), helped shape the song into something thousands could sing.

The result was recorded during Bethel's 2026 Worship School in Redding, California — a gathering where worshippers and students filled the room while the microphones rolled. That live setting is baked into the recording: the energy in the room was palapble — you can hear the crowd, the hunger, the sense that something bigger than a studio session was happening.

And the song arrived with a clear purpose. Bethel Music CEO Dominic Shahbon described the single as "a beautiful declaration of what we believe: that Jesus alone is worthy of all honor, glory and praise." That is the message now ringing out from arena to arena as the fall tour rolls on.

"If this is what Heaven is singing, then I think it's important for us to join in." — John Wilds (via NewReleaseToday)

All The Glory Live: Rooted in Revelation 4 and 5

The song's backbone is Scripture — specifically Revelation chapters 4 and 5, where the apostle John describes the throne room of heaven: creatures crying "Holy, holy, holy," elders laying down their crowns, and every voice in heaven declaring the Lamb worthy of all glory. Wilds' instinct, as he put it, was simple: if that is what heaven is singing, we should be singing it too.

This is a season where worship music keeps pushing toward the throne room. Chris Tomlin's latest album just broke his own streaming record and topped Billboard, proof that the hunger for new worship songs is as strong as ever (see Chris Tomlin's New Album Breaks His Streaming Record, Tops Billboard). "All The Glory" lands right in that current — a song built for big rooms and bigger moments.

It also keeps good company. New worship anthems are arriving thick and fast, and the playlists can barely keep up with how warmly they are being recieved by worshippers everywhere — from Andy Riemersma's "I PRAISE YOU," which has been turning heads all season (see Andy Riemersma's 'I PRAISE YOU': The Worship Anthem Everyone's Talking About), to the wave of testimonies pouring in from healing services. The worship world is having a moment — and Bethel just gave it a new song.

Nights of Response Tour October 2026 Dates

The song is not living on streaming platforms alone. Bethel Music kicked off the fall leg of its 2026 Nights of Response world tour on the same day the single dropped — October 9 — and the tour runs through October 25 across the United States and Canada. The stops read like a cross-continent pilgrimage: Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Washington DC, Norfolk, New York City, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Kitchener, Detroit, and Nashville.

Fourteen cities, two countries, one anthem. Night after night, thousands of voices are joining in on a song that began as one man's voice memo. That is the quiet miracle at the heart of this story: a worship leader hummed an idea into his phone, and now whole arenas are singing it back.

So what comes next for John Wilds and Bethel Music? The full live album arrives in 2027, and if "All The Glory" is any indication, it will not be a quiet one.

The tour still has dates to run, the single is still climbing, and somewhere a worship leader is humming the next voice memo. Keep your ears open.

But the most surprising part of this story is yet to come — keep reading.
