All Things Are Possible by Hillsong Worship

All Things Are Possible is the 1997 live Hillsong album led by Darlene Zschech, one of the records that carried modern worship around the world. Caught live in a full church, it brims with confidence and joy. I came to it much later, well after its songs had become standards.

Why listen?

The sound is bold and celebratory, a large band and choir in full voice. The production is bright and live, true to the gathered crowd. The songs declare hope, praise, and trust in a plain, singable way. There is a sense of a room lifted out of itself in shared song. It is worship made for the congregation, not the headphones.

Favourite song: All Things Are Possible

The triumphant title track that opens and closes the record. Its declaration of faith is hard to resist.

Your praise is always on my lips
Your word is living in my heart
And I will praise You with a new song, My soul will bless You Lord
All things are possible
All things are possible
All things are possible

The way the whole room rises into the chorus feels like a crowd cresting a hill together. It reminds me of the lift you feel near the top of a long climb, when the summit is finally in sight. The song insists that hope is possible, which is a brave thing to sing out loud.

Key takeaway

All Things Are Possible is a cornerstone of modern worship, sung with real heart. A record worth knowing for anyone who values the form.
