It is quite interesting to notice nowadays that the style of praise and worship of this young generation are very much influence by Hillsong. Church music team, campus fellowship and other Christian youth organization are so much engaged to the style of music of this Australian-based praise and worship team. Well, personally as a member of a church band, most of our lineup came from Hillsong albums. The songs like Tell the World, One Way, What the World will Never Take, Take it All, Salvation is Here and Solution, to name a few are very powerful and inspiring to play and will really make you dance. Through it All, From the Inside Out, Lord of Lords, At the Cross, Ocean Will Part, Mighty to Save are some of the worship songs that my band really loves to play. The messages of these songs are very powerful and amazing. The choices of words of the songwriters are very worshipful and meaningful personally to me.
Hillsong’s style of music not only inspires bible-believing church and organization but as well as people who search for the true meaning of life. Every wording and stanzas of the songs are very awesome that tells how the Lord really loves His people. The praise and worship team Joel Houston, Ruben Morgan, Marty Sampson, and Darlene Zschech to name a few are very effective in leading the church in worship. In their testimony, they said that, “Life is all about worshipping the Lord. That is the reason why we exist in this world. Because of this reason we should always strive our best to glorify the Lord in all aspect of our lives, whether you are in the ministry or workplace.”
But even they are very successful in leading the congregation in worship; we should be reminded that Hillsong should not be the one to glorify and idolize. Let us be reminded that God used them in order to become an inspiration for every person, with different experiences in life. Let’s just thank the Lord because he used people like Hillsong solely for the glory of His Name.
