Hillsong Lyrics
April 3rd, 2008 by Carl Thomas.I listen to a lot of Hollsong music. Their stuff is so solid! I normally have my itunes randomly playing music while I work and To Know Your Name came on. To be honest, I don’t think I have ever fully made out the lyrics so I looked them up.
The precious blood of Jesus Christ redeems,
forgiven I’m alive, restored set free.
Your majesty resides inside of me,
forever I believe. forever I believe.
arrested by your truth and righteousness
your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness
convicted by your spirit, led by your word
your love will never fail
your love will never fail
€˜Cause I know you gave, the world your only son for us to
know your name, to live within the saviours love and he took my place,
knowing he’d be crucified and you loved.. you loved, a people undeserving!
These aren’t just pop lyrics. These were born of the Spirit. Hillsong writes all their own stuff these days and churches all over the world sing them. What makes me laugh are the churches that flatly reject the baptism of the Holy Ghost, tongues, prophecy and the likes, gathering together on Sunday morning and singing songs written by people who got the lyrics during a time of praying in tongues and having the Spirit of Prophecy coming upon them. Talk about hypocrates!

Be nice.
What I find even funnier is how the spirit-filled world can also wig out. I remember David Ruis writing a song back in the early 90’s called True Love that wigged out a number of people in the church. One of the lines is:
Let me know the kisses of Your mouth,
Let me feel Your embrace
It comes straight out of the Song of Songs, yet it weirded the church out.

So, just because they don’t dance in the holy ghost and lay flat on the floor, slain in the spirit, you believe they are not worthy to sing the songs?
It seems a little hypocritical on your part, if I may say so….judgemental.
I believe that Jesus had 12 disciples exactly because he knew there were going to be many types of churches… 12 different man, 12 different minds, all following one Christ.
I am sorry to say, but there are a lot of people that will get to heaven that never once uttered a word of prophecy, or spoke in tongues.
I find your post offensive to say the least.

I agree that Hillsongs is the best all around worship music out there right now. Incredible the worldwide fruit that has come from their ministry. I also completely agree about their lyrics. The combination of the deep lyrics and arresting music can sometimes just put you in another dimension.

@Vania - had a little too much coffee today? I don’t have any idea where you got what you wrote but let me try to help you understand what I wrote.
There are churches that believe that those who speak in tongues or prophesy are under the power of the devil. But they sing songs written by people who speak in tongues and prophesy. That is the hypocrisy.
If that offends you I really can’t help it.
@Will I really agree. It is not even my favored music style but I force my preferences to bend toward their music because it is so good.
@Patsy - Funny how that Bible freaks people out. I have heard of people that were not allowed to read Songs of Solomon growing up.
