Hillsong - This Is Our God (2008)

Ah, after the long wait, Hillsong releases a new album. But, this time, there would be some changes, as Darlene Zschech steps down as Worship pastor, and Reuben Morgan takes her place. Mike Guglielmucci, a worship leader, formerly from Planetshakers, steps up as a worship leader.






The album contains great performances and songs, which will stand the test of time. A prime example is, simply, the song "You are Here (The Same Power", which is just a simple chorus, albeit a powerful one. The opening 2, Your Name High and Run, are energetic crowd-pumpers, with brilliant technical aspects built in, along with Hillsong's trademark lyrics. Songs like "This Is Our God" and "Stronger, are bound to impact the way we worship for the next few years, to say the least.

On the technical side, been loving the guitar solos very much =). I think they threw in a few songs in C# Major... Ouch. B-key songs are feel easy now. This time, sadly, no piano songs.

Last, but definitely not the least of these, lyrics. The lyrics, as far as I can pick out (which is quite alot) are powerful, great, awesome, inspiring.

I'd say that would be all for today, time is always working against me. Out.
