22nd live Hillsong album set for release in July
AUSTRALIA's mega church Hillsong will be releasing their 22nd live
album, 'Glorious Ruins', on 2nd July. Recorded for the first time live
in two locations, Sydney and London, the album is described as
"offering the Church a new era of worship anthems that will cross
multiple denominational and cultural boundaries." 'Glorious Ruins'
features 12 new songs (14 songs on the Deluxe Edition) from such
Hillsong team members as Joel Houston, Reuben Morgan, Ben Fielding and
Matt Crocker. The song "Glorify Your Name" was written by Reuben
Morgan and Chris Tomlin. Said Morgan, "This declaration of the saving
power of Christ reminds us that we can look to the cross throughout
life, in times of success or failure he is there with us. We've never
been diverted from viewing worship as both personal and corporate,
intimate and celebratory. We don't seek to make each project 'better'
as such, because how can one form of worship be better than another?
Instead each project is a continuation of the journey, and we are
thankful to God that so many people take the journey with us."
