Hillsong Band - Capturing the Hearts of People Around the World

I have been listening to Hillsong music since 2000 and I have been hooked on listening to almost all their albums. No one can deny that in the Christian world, Hillsong music has made such mark and has touched the lives of many people.



Yes, Hillsongs is the most travelled Christain band going around the world to share their passion for God and their music. The group has released several albums and these are being sold in music stores in various countries. They have also done concerts that feature their praise and worship music and have toured several continents.

Hillsongs United has a combination of slow and fast-beat tracks that have captured the hearts of Christians of all ages and of different denominations.

But most specially their music genre have been so popular among the younger generation because of their upbeat tracks that are better alternatives to the obscene pop dance music.


Here I Am To Worship is a great song about surrendering to God in worship. This song acknowledges God's power over everyone. This slow praise song can make a person hum as he or she listens to the song. The coda portion also has a very deep message especially for people who are asking for forgiveness and conversion. It says "I never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross. Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved," repeatedly until the song ends.

King of Majesty song begins with the lines, "You know that I love You, You know that I want You." The refrain plays, "King of majesty, I have one desire, is to be with You, my Lord," and "Jesus, You are the Savior of my soul, and forever I give my praises to You." Those who would like to praise God through hip tunes are surely taken by the great lyrics and arrangement of this song.

Now That You're Near is a song with several arrangements, with the rock versions being one of the most popular. "Hold me in Your arms, never let me go, I wanna spend my eternity with You," says the refrain.

On the other hand, One Way has a beutiful chorus. The lyrics goes this way... "One way, Jesus, You're the only One that I could live for." This is, perhaps one of the most popular songs of the group. This has sent a huge number of Christians all over the world jumping and dancing as they sing along with the song.

Because Hillsongs was able to combine the praise and worship with some of the elements of popular music, their songs continue to spread to more and more Christians. In the end, it is not about the singer, the composer and the song. It is about lifting the hearts of more and more people to God.
