Q – With all the success, how do you stay grounded?

“It’s not too hard when you’ve got a bunch of good mates around you…my wife and my 3 year old son are pretty good for that too! I think a cool thing about our team is that the whole prima donna thing has just never really washed. It’s just a bunch of real people loving God and doing life together.”

Hillsong United Break Free lyrics

Verse 1
Would you believe me, would you listen if I told you that
There is a love that makes the way, it never holds you back

Taken a stand upon the cross to show his perfect love

Pre-chorus
So would you break free, would you break free get up and dance, in His love

Chorus
His love never ends, yeah.
There's no escaping the truth, there's no mistaking its you

There's no escaping your love, there's no mistaking your light
Across the world we will get up and dance, get up and dance and praise you

Verse 3
Now is the time to take this freedom that has come our way
Offer our lives to see the glory of His name

Bridge
Never ? all our days
We are holy Lord, holding onto all your ways
We are holding on, holding on to all you've said and you've done
We are holding on to your love
Now we will dance

United All of the Above -LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM

2007-05-19T23:13:00.000+08:00

Hillsong United's "All of the Above" album is perhaps the most illegally downloaded MP3 via RapidShare or BitTorrent --on the internet today. I don't care what the Rolling Stones and SoundScans say, there are a LOT of Christians Who Love Their Music and since "they can't afford it" --they will just download the MP3 illegally.

NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

To Listen To The Entire ALL OF THE ABOVE ALBUM, Just click on this link : Official United All of the Above ECARD
I didn't have to register or something and I was able to listen to the WHOLE 2 SONGS.

BUT THERE's MORE!

If you Register, You get access to VIDEOS and OTHER GOOD STUFF like:

Its probably an advantage that United's a real large group because, aside from the MySpace Blogs, Tenni has a TOUR BLOG here in the All of the Above Website.

If you have a blog and website, there are also some WEB and PRINT materials for you to download to display to the world how proud you are of this WORSHIP BAND. Along with this BLOG are RARE PHOTOS, TOO.

Here's a Blog Snippet:

Then it was onto the tour busses for a 12 hour trip to Virginia Beach the home of Wave Church and the place that will always be remembered as where JD jumped on Ps. Phils head and broke Phils leg. When we got there we got on stage, got off stage and pretty much went straight back on stage to play. Our hearts did break though for the 2000 people that came but couldnt fit in, next time things will be different. The night again went amazing with many salvations and a whole lot of pumped for Jesus people crammed into the church worshipping with all of their hearts. JD totally redeemed himself by jumping off the drum riser over my head and landing on the floor with every ones limbs still in perfect working order.

Dance Like David -- Rock Like Peter :: 2 Ultimate Christian Music Events for December 2006

2006-11-19T20:32:00.000+08:00

Dear Friends:

I need your prayers!

Last Nov. 7, I discovered from my Mom that Dad was diagnosed with
terminal lung cancer. Doctors say he has 6 months. The news broke my
heart but then Mom told me that when Dad found out, he said: "The
Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want." I am so comforted by that and
I cling to it when the sadness comes.

Dad is 94 years old. 95 if he makes it to June 14 next year. To be honest,
I don't know exactly what to pray for considering his age.
Although I am unsure about what to ask God for,
I am certain that I need you to help me pray.

To help my family, I'm organizing 2 fundraising events:

1) "Rock Like Peter" - a rock concert
Featuring Barbie, Rocksteddy, Imago etc.
Tuesday, Dec. 5 at Gweilo's Eastwood
Tickets – P200

2) "Dance Like David" - A dance party
featuring DJs Benjo Marquez, Chip dela Calzada
and silverfilter
Friday, Dec. 8 at Absinthe, GB3
Tickets – P200

Please check out the flyer attached. Or go here Invitation
to Attend

Meantime, here's a list of what I need:

1) Prayers for my Dad (Chuck Burton)
my Mom (Delia)'s provision and successful fund-raising

2) Sponsors for food and drinks.
If you know Jollibee/MacDonald's/KFC/Nestea/Coke etc.,
Please put me in touch with them.
Food donations go to the performers.

3) Cash Donations are much appreciated.

4) Buy tickets / help me sell tickets

5) Raffle Prizes
Gift Certificates, Cellphones, Cool Items…

If you think you can help, please contact me at 0922.360.9686 or at
8107151. Thank you!

Much love,

Joyce Burton Titular

New number for United Live /Manila reservations

2006-10-13T17:06:00.000+08:00

There's a new number for reservation in the Hillsong United in Manila
tickets...please text this number instead of the old number from the
last email: 09218549905

Hillsong United in Manila...? YES!

2006-10-03T14:00:00.000+08:00

You've been singing their songs. You may not know it, but you have,
you are. And singing them always gives you that energetic feeling,
where you just want to jump up and down and dance and even kneel down
and just praise God for being who He is in your life.

You've probably waited on their CDs, waiting for them to be released
here. You've watched their videos, moved at the sight of thousands of
people raising their hands up in the air in surrender to God. You've
marveled at their band, at how flawless they sound, at how they could
play their instruments like that.

You've probably been through a lot praisefests and worships before,
but you've probably always wondered how it felt to be there with the
band who wrote and first sang the songs you are singing. You've
probably wished and dreamed of going to where they are from, and fully
experience what it feels like to sing and pray in a worship that they
led.

And you've most probably wish they'd visit the country, and you're
definitely sure that you'll be there if ever they do.

Well, stop wishing and dreaming because this is your chance to worship
with them!

HILLSONG UNITED IN MANILA
November 21, 2006 (Tuesday)
8:00 pm
Rizal Stadium (behind DLSU)
Tickets: P800, P700, P550, P400

Reserve tickets through: 6330596/09209453779

SOME QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT ASK AND ANSWERS YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW:
(Note that this FAQ are questions we asked the organizers in behalf of
all the other people who might ask the same questions so as you won't
have to ask them anymore. Since this isn't done by organizers, some
information may not be complete. You may want to ask again, but that
depends on you. :p)

Is this for real? This is not a joke, as in?
> Yes, it is for real. No joke. Try calling the number and ask if you're still doubtful. :)

Where is Rizal Stadium, exactly?
> Rizal Stadium is located behind De La Salle University - Manila in Taft Avenue. You ride the LRT1 to Vito Cruz, go down and walk AWAY from La Salle, turn right at Torre Lorenzo, walk until you get to the entrance of Rizal Stadium. We're still not sure WHERE in Rizal Stadium it's going to be held, basta it's there. :P

How many people from the Hillsong United team are coming? Who are they?
> According to the organizers, 14 people are coming from the United team. We're not sure who they are though. I guess we'll see on November 21. :)

November 21 is a Tuesday? Why can't it be scheduled on a Friday or
Saturday night?
> That we do not know. :( We think it's because the Philippines is a part of their Asian tour, and we're guessing that right after their event here, they'll be off to another place in Asia.
>

Are there any reserved seats? Or is it first come first served?
> As far as we know, the P800 tickets are reserved seating.

I watched Steven Curtis Chapman last May and I remember there's some
sort of Hillsong United promo there. Is that true?
> Yes, it's true! If you watched the Steven Curtis Chapman concert in Manila last May and you still have your ticket, you can avail of the promo for Hillsong United in Manila tickets.
>

Cool! So how do I avail of the promo?
> Call the number above and set an appointment to redeem your ticket. 1 SCC ticket = 1 P800 Hillsong United Ticket. If you bought a P1000 SCC ticket, you get your ticket for free! However, if you bought a P750 or P500 SCC ticket, you'd have to pay the additional balance for a P800 Hillsong United ticket.
>

That is just SO cool. Can I get the ticket now?
> Redeeming of SCC tickets start on October 15 up to October 30. :)

But what if I bought a P1000 SCC ticket and I want to buy 2 P400
Hillsong United ticket...is that possible?
> Nope. 1 SCC ticket = 1 P800 Hillsong United ticket.
>

Any group discount? Early buyer discount? Whatever discount?
> Nope, no discount. The tickets are actually quite cheap, if you look at it. :P (FLASHBACK: Patron tickets for Reuben Morgan last June 2005 at the Araneta Coliseum is P1500...this time it's only P800!)

Where do I reserve tickets?
> In case you missed that BIG number up there...you may call 6330596 or 09209453779 to reserve your tickets. :D
>

Where do I claim the tickets?
> You can get your tickets at 2905 Cityland Shaw Tower, Shaw corner Meralco Avenue. It's near EDSA Shangrila Hotel.
>

---

So far that's it! If there are any more questions, you may call them
and if you would, share the answer with the people who you know will
be watching. Somekindalike a community effort, you know? :P

THIS IS THE WORSHIP EVENT OF THE YEAR! You HAVE to be there! There's
more than a month for us to save money for tickets and such, so tell
all your friends! :) Let's all show how Filipinos can rock a stadium
through praise and worship! :D And who knows, maybe your attendance
would make them want to come back. ;)

God bless!

P.S. Apologies to those who will be getting this more than once.

P.P.S. Feel free to pass this email to interested groups. :)

iHero 2006 musical features the return of BOB FARRELL of FARRELL & FARRELL!

2006-09-29T17:51:00.000+08:00

Think of it as 'Broadway meets video game' and drop contemporary
Christian music's hippest black rocker—platinum selling Michael Tait
of dcTalk fame—into the center of the mix for the starring role in
!Hero—returning in live concert for a 2006 run.

The cast, aside from Michael Tait:
Anadara Arnold as Maggie; (you gotta hear her songs, she's goood!)
Ryan Edgar as Agent Hunter;
Michael Quinlan as Jude;
Donnie Lewis as Mama;
Marshall Mcluhan as Petrov;
Jason Eskidge as Kai;
Playdough as Jairus;
Shannon Bain as Devlin;
Bob Farrell as Governor Pilate.

Bob Farrell bears dual roles: That onstage of portraying wheelchair
bound Governor Pilate—and offstage of being the production's director.

The premise of !Hero is a simple one:

"What If He Were Born in Bethlehem... Pennsylvania?"

The stark reality of what that might look like: An African American
Jesus with dreadlocks being crudely crucified on a street sign in New
York ( Jesus is portrayed by Tait); a Judas that kills himself with a
.45 caliber bullet to the head; and a drug addicted, tarot card
reading "girl of the streets" updating the role of Mary Magdalene.

A 21 member cast floods the stage amid the fervent blast of rock music
and video screens constantly flashing a litany of high tech images and
pulsating graphics.

Noted Tait in a recent interview: "This production struck a chord with
me from the very first time I read the script. I knew I had to be
involved. People for years have tried to put a 'face' on what they
believe in and this expereience will definitely stretch your thoughts
about the Jesus you knew growing up. It has stretched me to new levels
artistically and spiritually and I'm passionate to be back on the road
with a message as timely as that of !Hero."

The question was instantly posed of !Hero: 'Have we finally gone too
far in reaching the MTV generation with the gospel?' The controversy
centered around !Hero only seemingly served to attract major crowds
and wide praise from critics. !Hero started initially as one man's
creative dream.

Personal note:
iHero is the brainchild of Eddie DeGarmo and Bob Farrell. Now I wish
the husband and wife team would release another album--or maybe modern
bands --PLEASE MAKE A TRIBUTE album! Alt-version? classical version?
Metal Version Anything Farrell & Farrell! Please!

First Switchfoot single out: Needful hands...

2006-09-29T17:42:00.000+08:00

First Switchfoot single out: "Needful hands..."
Oh, that's a Jars of Clay song! I meant "Dirty Second Hands"

A letter (again) from the Switchfoot boys:

The day has finally come. "What day?" you may ask. Well, today we
released our first new album track, "dirty second hands", from our new
album "Oh! gravity."
<a href="http://www.rhapsody.com/switchfoot/dirtysecondhands">LISTEN HERE</a>

Lyrics are worth reading because after DOWNLOADING the song (I know
some of you will)--you might forget to see its message!

dirty 2nd hands:

Please don't be so naive
You know you're not fooling anyone
You're not as tough as you think
The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands

Can't get nothing for free
It becomes so predictable
You start fighting to breathe
The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands

Here's the face of everything that breaks you down
But now you face the face of everything that breaks you down

With an army of me
We invent our own enemies
Never sees a machine
The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands

In the land of the free
And the home of the remedy
The old clock is a thief
With dirty second hands, with dirty second hands

Here's the face of everything that breaks you down
Now you face the face of everything that breaks you down

Are you really as tough as you think you blink and you're over the brink,
you bleed but the blood runs pink with dirty second hands,
dirty second hands.

You're not quite as tough as you thought
you bought the American rod the very seed that you thought you shot
with dirty second hands,
dirty second hands.

You might be right the fight might be right inside you the blind
leading the lied to so
(leave a comment if the lyrics are wrong)

The song is now available through all online music providers for less
than a buck.
We chose to release this song early because Christmas is too long to
wait, and we're really excited about this track... we hope you like it
too. It gives a glimpse into the raw and energetic approach we took
with this new album, and we can't wait to see what you guys think.

Skillet: Its okay to tell us repeatedly about how our songs influenced you!

2006-09-29T17:25:00.000+08:00

Letter from John Cooper of Skillet:

Hey Panheads and Skillet friends!

We have a number one single on radio with our new song "Rebirthing"!
Thanks to everyone for being so supportive and encouraging about our
new music.

We have been playing concerts and talking to fans after shows, and
there have been so many awesome conversations and testimonies, and
people who have been affected by our music. People usually start those
conversations with,

"I know you hear this a lot, but...".

Let me assure you that we LOVE to hear how our music has helped
someone through a hard time, or how God used it to change your life in
some way.

Just a week ago, we received an email from a fan who was in the
process of making a bad decision and involved in some major sin, and
when he heard the song "Rebirthing" on the radio he instantly made a
decision to change his life and not continue in whatever sin that may
have been.

He described it almost as a "rebirth" in his life with God. That is
amazing to me!

(continued)
-John Cooper, Skillet lead vocals, now on secular radio and record bars.

Sonicflood will release an intl concert album + 2 new songs + 2 mtv

2006-09-19T14:11:00.000+08:00

INO Records announces SONICFLOOd's October 31st release of Glimpse: Live Recordings From Around The World, a project that was recorded from concerts in Thailand to Ireland this past year. In addition to the internationally recorded album, SONICFLOOd, the forefathers of modern worship, will be embarking on a nationwide tour with the International Missions Board, which began last week in Charleston, South Carolina and will continue hitting more than 60 venues and 23 states.

"Its time for God's people to know that they are a part of something so huge and so wonderful and that right now we have brothers and sisters on the other side of the planet that love us and are praying for us," explains frontman Rick Heil.

"When we went overseas this summer we had a chance to record the sounds of every crowd we worshiped with, and then blended them together to create a symphony of praise...it's beautiful! On top of sonically recording the concerts, we brought along an HD camera to capture the sights of putting this kind of extensive project together."

Glimpse: Live Recordings From Around The World captures the spirit and passion that this pioneering modern worship band has for global missions. The live recording includes fan favorites : "Your Love Goes On Forever," "Cry Holy," "Open the Eyes of My Heart" and "I Want to Know You."

Glimpse also features two new studio recordings from SONICFLOOd ("Infinite Love" and "Save Me") as well as a bonus DVD including the making of Glimpse and two music videos for "Everlasting" and "This Generation."

Since their last studio project released in 2005 (This Generation), SONICFLOOd has been traveling worldwide to reach all generations to issue a call to rise up and share your faith. They have performed in Australia, Brazil, India, Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Bahamas, Thailand and Turkey.

Plumb ..lulaby album..now that's unique! lets see mainstream music follow this!

2006-09-19T14:02:00.000+08:00

In May, Plumb announced a new project on the horizon... a new baby! Also, just recently, the artist and mother-to-be for the second time had announced a new album in the works. The follow up to Chaotic Resolve is set to be an all-lullaby project. Tiffany wrote in a recent blog on MySpace, "I started today back in the studio writing for a lullaby record I'm releasing. I plan on... recording it in August and September... The lullaby album doesn't have a release date... but I'm stoked about it. It'll be me, but more along the lines, since it's a lullaby record, of my song 'Phobic' or 'Jekyll and Hyde' ...very mellow. So even if you aren't a Mom or Dad with kids, I'm hoping the record turns out mature and creative and artistic and a great novel record to own for adults that their babies and kids can enjoy. I'm not familiar with anything like that out there... so I'm hoping for its success. If its out by Xmas, it might be a great gift for anyone you know with children... hint hint." Plumb is finished touring for 2006, with her last date being cancelled yesterday due to torrential rains in New Jersey. For the latest from the pop/rock artist and a few amusing stories about her experiences with her first baby Solomon, visit her spot on MySpace.com or her official site, Plumbinfo.com.

Reuben Morgan just keeps on touring - after spending October in the US
and Canada he's now off to Europe. Morgan will be hosting a series of
worship events with his band, and promoting his debut album "World
Through Your Eyes" which is topping the charts around the world. By
the way, the cover the new album is different from the Australian
version, and though the songs are the same - the MIX is not the same.
They're more energetic in the US version.

Completely dangerous & radical letter from Tai of Third Day ...about Critics, Culture and "Christian Country Clubs"! MUST READ!

2005-08-31T16:13:00.000+08:00

A Message from Tai of the Rock Band "Third Day"

Hey Everyone,

We're out here on the road working hard on tour. It's street week. So, we're hitting it hard. We've been doing morning radio, interviews, autograph signings, television, and, oh Yeah! Big Ole Concerts every night.

Last night, Mac, Mark, and I got on the bus and were reading through some of the lyrical criticism of the new project. We fully expected the criticism. So, we weren't surprised. We also feel more passionately than every that we have made the record that we needed to make so I'm not going to apologize for the record in ANY way.

I would like to address one aspect of the criticism in an undefensive manner I love worship music. I love worshipping God through music. In about 10 minutes, I'm going to go worship God through sweat at a Habitat for Humanity build in Dallas. I really believe what we tried to convey at the Dove Awards when we won the award for Praise and Worship album of the year. I believe that worship is so much more than music.

You know, there are times when I love hearing very bold statements and declarations of faith. There are times when we absolutely need to speak the name of Jesus, the only name under heaven by which we can be saved. But has anyone stopped to think that maybe we unknowingly use our Lord's name in vein? I mean we print the name of Jesus on Tee shirts because we know they'll sell. We let it roll off our tongues without a 2nd thought (Well at least when we're around other Christians.) I think sometimes we say his name without any reverence whatsoever.

Over the last few years, when worship music has become so huge, we all sing and say a lot of things that we don't really think about. It's easy to say 'em, but it's cliche'. I mean, unlike some of our critics, I'll look at myself first. I sing along to Show Me Your Glory and the line...."I want to see your face." Do I really mean that? If I did, I should be shaking when I say it... Because God's glory is something to behold. I'd probably just drop dead. Even Moses only got a glimpse of the backside and he glowed for days.

The thing with cliches is they're easy to say, but they don't always require thought. There is a time for bold, obvious statements. But there is also a time to be real. I don't live in a Christian utopia. I live in the USA. You might have missed the memo, but this isn't a Christian nation anymore. The name of Jesus is powerful, and it calls for a response. It's controversial. It's never something to be ashamed over. But, we should speak His name reverently and purposefully.

God has been calling us in the band to step out. We were meeting with our road pastor yesterday, and he reminded us of how this process has been years in the coming. He reminded us of all the prayer and study that has gone into this process. You know what, I think he's calling us all out. With our record, and in our upcoming concerts and interviews, we want to create art that challenges us all to think about what Jesus did for us. Sometimes that requires more than just spewing out an easy statment like, "Jesus died for your sins." and crafting a song, a parable if you will, like Innocent which paints a picture that those outside of our Christian "country clubs" might be able to understand as well. (Who else tended to speak in stories and in the language of His culture?)

We're stepping out. We're going to do whatever we can to get our music and the message of our music out into our culture. I'm tired of complaining about the stuff I see on the news. I want to start shaping the news. I'm tired of complaining about Janet Jackson superbowls. I want our music and message on the superbowl. I'm tired of complaining about a culture that's decaying. I want to be the salt that preserves the culture. I'm not ready to retreat and go to my Christian church, school, home, radio station, tv station, etc.

I want to change the world. So, who's with me? You can point the finger at us. That's what "religious" people do. Or, you can join us. You can step out too. It won't be safe. The world will hate you.

Guess what, even more hurtful, your brothers and sisters in Christ will question EVERYTHING you do. But, you know what... God never said this life was supposed to be safe. Maybe if you're faith isn't attracting any criticism, that should be a wake up call because our Savior promised that it would come.

This is an invitation. join us on the wire. Walk out there with us.
Try and balance being in the world and not of it. you can't do that safely. The big slogan of a Christian radio station in our whole town is "Safe for the whole family." Well you know what, that's all fine and good, but I think God has called us to be ...

DANGEROUS FOR OUR WHOLE CULTURE!

I GIVE YOU MY HEART - Do You Have A Testimony relating to this song?

When Reuben first wrote songs for church in Sydney back in 1995...Lord
I Give you my heart was penned...a beautiful love song to Jesus about
Surrender. It has had wide reach and impact...exceeding the original
intent for the song and spurring people's love for Jesus.

Sarah Morgan is now asking if you have a story relating to this song
or a testimony about the song that you are willing to share if you
would please email her at info@fivelines.com. She is creating a folder

Reuben Morgan signed to Michael W Smith's Rocketown Records

2005-06-07T10:29:00.000+08:00

Michael W Smith's Rocketown Records (home to Chris Rice,Ginny
Owens...) announced last Friday, the signing of well-known Australian
worship leader Reuben Morgan.

Don Donahue, president of Rocketown Records, said, "I have sung
Reuben's songs for years in church without even realizing it. To meet
the heart behind the melody and lyric has been an honor. I truly feel
like America is the last part of the world to discover Reuben Morgan
(you said it right : ) -ultradust) is the artist behind this rich
body of work. We are humbled to partner with Reuben to introduce this
already well known worship leader to churches in the U.S."

Reuben has 17 songs in the Top 500 of the CCLI (Christian Copyright
Licensing International) chart, more than any other writer.

Reuben Morgan will be touring the United States in July and August,
doing 20 worship events in markets such as Los Angeles, Denver,
Austin, Jacksonville, Tulsa and Orlando. His first radio single, "My
Redeemer Lives," goes for adds at AC/INSP/CHR on June 24. (from
Rocketown Records)

WHO IS REUBEN?
In addition to leading worship at Hillsong,which attracts more than
17,000 attendees each week on multiple campuses, Reuben has written
many songs over the past eight years for the church, including "I Give
You My Heart," "My Redeemer Lives," "Hosanna," "Hear Our Praises," "I
Adore You" and "You Said." His songs are featured on numerous albums
with artists such as Michael W Smith, The Katinas, Jeff Deyo, Rita
Springer and Robin Mark recording his work. On the most recent
Christian Copyright Licensing International survey (CCLI Feb 2005),
five of Morgan's songs appear in the Top 25 Worship songs list for
Australia while Top 25 charts for the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, South
Africa and Sweden also show the impact his songs are making in
churches around the world. In the U.S.,

US DEBUT
Morgan's Rocketown debut, World Through Your Eyes, will release in the
United States on Sept. 13.

Interview with Reuben

Seeing the World Through Reubens eyes

With World Through Your Eyes due for release in the next few months in
the USA, Europe and beyond, Reuben has spent alot of time answering
questions about himself, the project and his views on life - we
thought that you may enjoy reading his ideas, conversion and first
ever album. Reuben is currently in the USA recording and attending
GMA.

1) When did you start writing songs?

Ever since I first picked up the guitar at six or seven years of age,
I have always loved writing. I used to spend time messing around on
the guitar and try to make up my own songs and little pieces- I
preferred doing that over what my teachers at school were giving me to
play. I was also involved in bands when I was growing up and used to
write some of the music that we'd play. When I got saved though, I
stopped doing all the bands and a lot of the music that I loved- my
life needed a bit of a change so music became a lot less of a priority
for me.

It was only when I started really getting into the worship at Hillsong
Church a number of years later that I ever even considered writing a
worship song or anything like that. I used to just sit in worship
services and feel so stirred to write and to write worship songs. I'd
find myself coming out of church with song ideas in my head- I just
started practicing and learning. Through this time, I guess I wrote
what you could call my official "first song"!

2) What was the first song you wrote?

One of my first worship songs was Lord I Give You My Heart- I wrote
this song while I was studying at the music institute. The week before
I had been travelling to minister somewhere with some friends and was
involved in a car accident… the kind that reminds you how fragile life
is. I remembered later that week I was writing and playing around with
a melodic idea that I had been working on and it was just like (for a
moment) I had tapped into this deeper well and I was singing "Lord I
give You my heart, I give You my soul" over and over. It's a prayer I
had been praying for a while and it all just fit together- one of
those songs that seemed to write itself.

3) How do you feel about the impact that your songs have had on people
such as Lord I Give You My Heart, Eagles Wings and My Redeemer Lives?

I see it as a real privilege. God has blessed our church in an
incredible way and the ministry of Bobbi & Brian, Mark and Darlene's
ministry and subsequently our worship team. It's incredible that these
songs that began as my own prayer and heart's desire would be the
prayer of many other people also.

4) What musical instruments can you play?

I now mostly play the guitar (acoustic) as it works the best as far as
worship leading goes but I have spent lots of time playing and
studying the electric. I mess around a bit on the piano but wouldn't
say that it's an instrument I can play!

5) What did you want to be or do before becoming a worship leader and
song-writer?

I have always wanted to play music- it's been a bit of a life long
thing for me… I don't know if I've ever imagined myself doing anything
else.

6) How long have you been involved with Hillsong? What has been the
different roles that you had been doing?

I have been at Hillsong church for about 10 years now. I have done
many different things such as choir, leading youth worship, answering
emails for Darlene, overseeing our musicians, pasturing and discipling
people, rostering, and whatever else was the go at the time- there's
always something that needs doing! I have been on staff now for about
7 years.

7) When did you first join Hillsong and how did come about?

In 1995, I moved from Melbourne to Sydney to study music. I had heard
about Hillsong church through some friends and started attending- not
long after that, I decided to make it my home church. I became
involved in the youth ministry and then became a part of the music
team- I've loved it ever since!

8) How is your first solo album World Through Your Eyes different to
any other Hillsong albums that you have been involved with?

It's a devotional album. When I set out to create the album, there
were a few things in my heart about it- one was that because of the
nature of how we come together as 'church', there are some themes that
have to be excluded.

Church isn't just Sunday, most of my songs thus far have been for
Sunday but this is for the rest of the week. World Through Your Eyes
is meant for picking up and putting it in your car and worshipping
God, worshipping God when you hear it on the radio, worshipping God in
your room- It's created for that format. That has meant for me that I
had more more melodic licence in creating the album that I usually
allow myself for church songs, more license for themes- the breadth of
the themes in the Psalms is massive and we don't cover all those
themes on Sunday.

My passion behind doing World Through Your Eyes was more diversity- it
covers more of my experience, the human experience, which I think is
what the Psalms do- they cover every human experience.

9) Tell about some of the songs on the album?

The songs on the album have been crafted over years- lots of thoughts
and ideas coming together. They are mostly songs that I wanted to
write but didn't intend for congregational worship so for me, they are
more personal even though I know that some of the song can and are
being used by people in church settings.

The song "World Through Your Eyes" for example is about being on the
mountain with God- it's all about intimacy and experiencing worship in
creation.
It's really meant to be a prayer prayed from this place that as I go
down the mountain from here, God would help me to see the world
through His eyes.

There is another song on the album called "Waterfall". This song is
all about the journey from being in a desperate place of feeling dry
before God and in need of Him (the desert place) to believing and
experiencing God's presence. His presence is like a waterfall- like
Niagra Falls- in God's presence all you want to do is cry "take me
deeper in love, take me deeper with you".

Tell me about Reuben Morgan?

Tell me about Reuben Morgan?

Reuben Morgan was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1975. He grew up in Papua New Guinea until he was 11 before returning back to Australia to complete his high school education. He is married to Sarah and they have a son named Jones Berlin who was born in 2003.

How did you become a Christian?
It was around the end of 1992 that I finally accepted Jesus as my own. After a real time of feeling lost, I got to wonder about Christianity and decided to read some books that had been recommended to me. After reading the books "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis and "No Compromise" by Keith Green, I knew that it was real and I needed God in my life.

I made the decision to accept Jesus at the beach one summer when I was away with my family and God began to work in me- His presence has never left my life since!

Tell me about your Family?

My family is real important to me and the source of constant strenght and inspiration. I am married to Sarah who is an incredible woman of God - a great bible teacher, patient wife and remarkable mother...and together we have a son Jones who has changed my life and the way I view the world.....the greatest thing ever is to come home to the 2 of them!!!

How did you come to be a part of Hillsong Church?

I got involved in Hillsong Church when I moved to Sydney after high school to study contemporary music at the Australian Institute of Music. My goal was to move back to my home town (Melbourne) after I had finished there but over the two years I was studying I had become really involved in our youth ministry and the church team and ended up making the choice to stay. I had been writing songs on and off since I was really young but being at Hillsong Church and becoming really connected into church life inspired me to work on songwriting as a craft and for congregational worship… the more I did it the more I loved writing and what I saw God doing through the songs in churches. Worship leading and writing worship songs was something I never dreamed I would do but one of our youth pastors really encouraged me to do it and stuck with me through some pretty forgettable worship services I led but I'm glad he did.
