Australian Worship Leader Roma Waterman Releases 'When God Sings'
What does it sound like when God sings? When God Sings is Roma Waterman’s invitation into that sacred question — a worship experience where prayer becomes song. Known for her contemplative yet prophetic sound, Roma weaves spontaneous moments with crafted songs born in the secret place. With cinematic textures and tender devotion, each track carries the intimacy of a conversation between heaven and earth.
A worship leader, songwriter, and teacher, Roma’s heart is to help others hear the voice of God through creativity and song. When God Sings is more than music — it’s a holy dialogue that invites you to pause, listen, and let Heaven sing over you.
What does it sound like when God sings? Roma Waterman’s new album, When God Sings, draws from Zephaniah 3:17 to explore that mystery: a journey through sound and spirit that invites the listener to hear Heaven’s melody echo through the heart. Each track is both prayer and prophecy: songs birthed in the secret place and captured in live moments of worship where the boundary between earth and eternity grows thin.
Blending cinematic piano, ethereal vocals, and ambient soundscapes, When God Sings traces the journey of the worshipper who first sings a prayer to God — and then begins to hear Him sing back. The result is an atmosphere of worship that feels both intimate and expansive.
Roma Waterman is an Australian worship leader, songwriter, and teacher whose ministry spans more than three decades. Known for merging prophetic expression with theological depth, she has trained worship teams and songwriters around the world and founded creative, prophetic communities devoted to helping believers encounter God through artistry and stillness. Her music carries the same heartbeat as her teaching: to make space for people to be transformed by the presence of God.
Roma has devoted her life to shaping a sound of worship and creativity. This has often been forged in the quiet places of prayer tucked away in her music studio. Professionally over the years she has been a session vocalist for various TV shows, and a vocal coach for artists on The X Factor and Australian Idol. She is the founder of the renowned Melbourne Gospel Choir who can be seen on national television and is a predominant mainstay on Ch 7’s Carols by Candlelight. Her songs and books have received multiple awards, and through her online communities and podcast, she has taught thousands around the world how to hear God’s voice and engage deeply with Scripture.
In a noisy world, Roma’s music calls us back to the quiet — to the place where Heaven’s song can be heard again. It is worship as dialogue, sound as sanctuary, and a tender reminder that before we ever sang to Him, He was, and is, already singing over us.
When God Sings is a pilgrimage through sound and spirit. The opening track follows the soul’s first steps towards the secret place. A weary pilgrim sings the song Like A Child, walking towards God’s Presence. The worshipper coming desperately before God, quieting their heart to listen for His voice. Then, in that place of sacred stillness, Heaven responds — and the Father sings back. What unfolds is a divine dialogue between human longing and holy love, between our song and His.
This project is an exploration of what it might truly sound like when God sings (Zephaniah 3:17). It weaves together crafted songs birthed from prophetic vision, and spontaneous moments captured in real time — unfiltered encounters with the Holy Spirit. Each track is an invitation into intimacy, imagination, and awe: a sonic landscape where prayer becomes a melody. With orchestral depth and Renaissance-inspired tones, the music is both contemplative and cinematic.
The album’s progression mirrors a sacred rhythm - a welcome prayer, an encounter, and a response. It begins with humanity reaching for God, moves through divine conversation where Heaven’s voice sings over the soul, and closes in surrender.
When God Sings is Roma Waterman’s latest offering – deeply personal yet profoundly prophetic, it invites listeners into holy wonder: what if worship isn’t only our song to God — but God’s song over us?
Heaven is singing. It’s time to listen.
