Hillsong United:Across The Earth//Tear Down The Walls
| Hillsong United from Australia has done it again, releasing yet another amazing album. This 15th album titled, A_CROSS // The_EARTH: Tear Down the Walls, is invigorating, fun, and a passionate album. Listener beware when playing the album in a moving vehicle the passion and heart of the members of Hillsong United ushers in the presence of God creating and atmosphere for worship, it may make driving a little hard. Every single song on the album has one focus, and that is Jesus. When listening one cannot just listen, each time sets up an encounter with the Lord.The album itself is simple in design having no insert just a CD and back cover with the songs listed on it. The music is the life of the album. The overall flow of the album is well balanced and has a good mixture of passionate, high energy, loud songs, with several introspective, slower, reflective songs. Each one however has a specific message and tone to it.
One of my favorite songs on the album is You Hold Me Now, this songs just paints a picture of hope, as the line you hold me now repeats over and over. The imagery of heaven is awesome; however it brings to light that even now as people are on earth that Jesus holds us now. This song is just one of many that get me seeking the face of the Lord. The band has decided to include two new versions of older songs on the album. Hillsong United revised Desert Song, and Your Name High. Both of these songs were from older albums but are fitting in this album. The Desert song focuses in on how we are to worship the Lord even in the midst of a dry time. As for Your Name High, the title says it all it is a declaration of lifting high the name of Jesus. This album is AMAZING!!!! I will keep this album playing for a long time to come, and I know that next season of worship leading will contain several of these songs. Definitely add this album to your collection soon.
