Awake

This album is amazing. I mean, all Hillsong albums are great - but this one really resonated with me. I love the vibe of the album, but above all, the lyrics are so powerful and so moving. I love Upper Room and Awake. Highly highly recommend. I don't think you can listen to this album and remain the same. Life changing!

40% of CCLI's Top Worship songs bear a Hillsong copyright. This means that almost half the worship soundtrack of the churches in North America have their origins in Hillsong Church. Not only are their songs, such as """"What a Beautiful Name,"""" """"Who You Say I Am,""""and """"Cornerstone,"""" the currency of today's worship music, their songs defy the passage of time. After more than 20 years, Hillsong's """"Shout to the Lord"""" is still lingering in CCLI's Top 40. And some hymnbooks have even included this Darlene Zschech composition in the same canon as hymns written by Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley. Precisely because of the ubiquitous nature of their songs, every Hillsong Worship release is vitally important. Safe to say, with Brooke Ligertwood on the helm,""""Awake"""" is bound to continue to enrich and vilify the worship of God's churches. Already making into the constant repertoire of many worship teams is the Brooke Ligertwood, Scott Ligertwood and Jason ingram co-written single """"King of Kings. """" Slamming naysayers who often criticise Hillsong for a dearth of theological depth,""""King of Kings"""" flourishes with a careful re-telling of the Gospel narrative climaxing in a trumpet outburst: """"Now this gospel truth of old/Shall not kneel shall not faint. """" \\n
