“Rebuild The Altar” brings together Jamaican gospel singer Chevelle Franklyn, South African worship minister Dr Tumi, and American gospel singer Phil Thompson in a worship song centred on restoring a life of devotion to God. Released as part of South Wind, Vol. 1 in August 2024, the collaboration calls believers to renew their commitment to global worship and seek God above everything else.
The song’s central call to rebuild the altar is a picture of returning to a place of worship, surrender, and fellowship with God. Its lyrics declare a desire to seek Him continually and honour Him through the many names that reflect His character, including El Elyon, Jehovah Shalom, and Jehovah Rapha. The declaration of freedom from slavery to sin also points to the Christian message of redemption and a life no longer controlled by sin. Through this shared worship expression, Chevelle Franklyn, Dr Tumi, and Phil Thompson encourage listeners to examine their spiritual lives and make room for renewed devotion. “Rebuild The Altar” will resonate with Christians who desire a deeper relationship with God and a more consistent life of worship.
