Reception



Critical response

"Safe" has received extremely positive review from most critics.

Kevin Davis from 'Christian Music Review' writes that 'Safe' "serve[s] to encourage, strengthen and remind listeners that they are not alone as [the lyrics] say, 'You will be safe in His arms, You will be safe in His arms, the hands that hold the world are holding Your heart, this is the promise He made He will be with You always, when everything is falling apart you will be safe in His arms.' "

"The first time I listened to Phils single 'Safe', I was amazed over how the message connected and really appreciate its relevance to all that is going on in the world these days," says WAY-FM Network Program Director, 'Tate Luck'. "The sound is fresh and Bart Millards participation is a great touch!"

" 'Safe' certainly does live up to its name in terms of being a song that will tickle the fancies of Contemporary Christian radio programmers looking for something different to play. Dont get the song wrong, though; Wickhams bright baritone overflows with passion as he sings about how safe we are in the arms of our Savior." '-Gannsdeen.com'
