I have always loved music. In the last few years, I have come to truly love modern worship music. Needless to say I was thrilled when I found out Hillsong would be coming to Lexington. To make this even better, the event was at my church!
I'm not even certain I have the words to describe the last few hours. It was nothing short of amazing. It was a truly wonderful night of worship. Then again, aren't all nights of worship wonderful?
I haven't exactly figured out how to post a link to a video yet. So I'm going to leave the lyrics of one of my favorite songs from tonight. It's called "You," and the lyrics are speaking so much to me right now.
Verse 1:
Invading all my weakness
You wrapped me up in grace
The worst of me succeeded by the best of You
Verse 2
My heart is overtaken
My soul is overwhelmed
The worst of me succeeded by the best of You
Verse 3
My dreams have found their purpose
My future in Your hands
This life would have no meaning if it weren't for You
(PreChorus
So I lay me down
For Kingdom come
Steal all that is within me
Cause all I want in this world is more of You
Chorus
And the less of me it is You
Increasing as I fade away
Your life for all the world to see
God It is You who breaks the chains
It is You who lights the way
And everything I am cries out for You
Verse 4
Lord make me more transparent
Your life in mine displayed
And let every earthly glory
Go back to You
(PreChorus
So I lay me down
For Kingdom come
Steal all that is within me
Cause all I want in this world Is more of You
Chorus
And the less of me it is You
Increasing as I fade away
Your life for all the world to see
God It is You who breaks the chains
It is You who lights the way
And everything I am cries out for You
Right now, I'm especially liking the part about laying me down.

I'm not familiar with Hillsong. I tried checking them out by googling them. I think I got the right group but not the same song. I liked what I heard. I wouldn't mind if you wanted to review some music now and then. I am totally clueless when it comes to Christian music. (just like I was with books up until a year ago).
If I can figure out how to post videos, I'm thinking of posting a video each Sunday.
I do like the idea of reviewing music every so often though. Maybe once a week or so.
In the meantime, let's see if the link to the song on youtube will work.

Well, you'll have to copy and past it, but it's a direct link to "You."
Thanks for the link...cutting and pasting worked and I LOVED it. Totally not the song I listened to this afternoon. It was a woman's voice. Could that possible be the same group? Great to see such a huge crowd at the concert.
Glad you liked it! When I was looking for the lyrics last night, I did come across another Hillsong song also titled "You." I think it's probably the one you found, because when I listened to it on google, it did have a female vocal.
Hillsong is a church in Sydney, Australia. Every year, their worship bands record a live CD, and it's usually recorded at a convention center. I think they have several campuses in Sydney, so the idea is to bring all the campuses together for the worship nights.
"You" is from their most recent CD, "A Beautiful Exchange." It's a great CD, some of the songs are slower than "You."
I'll probably be posting videos from it, and their other CDs in the future.
I was looking around youtube earlier, and figured out how to post videos! Yay me!
