This is surely one of the greatest praise and worship songs ever written. It was written and first performed at a church in Sydney, Australia named Hillsong Church. The words and music were written by Darlene Zschech. It was almost surreal to watch the YouTube video. I couldn’t believe that someone would pick this song to be sung on the most popular TV show in the world. It was great to see!

There are several other songs by Hillsong that are favorites of mine, including “Jesus, Jesus,” and “Power of Your Love.” Last weekend in our church we sang another Hillsong creation, called “Mighty to Save.” It was the first time I had heard it and it really had a big impact on me. It has become an instant favorite. It was only after I got home and looked it up on the Internet that I discovered that it was another song from Hillsong.
