God Is Able by Hillsong Worship

God Is Able is a 2011 live worship album from Hillsong Church in Sydney. Recorded in front of a large congregation, it gathers songs meant for the whole room to sing. The title sits at the centre, a plain claim that God can do what people cannot. I was drawn to its calm certainty, the way it keeps returning to one steady ground.

Why listen?

The sound is broad, modern worship, with rising builds and open choruses. The voices of the congregation carry as much weight as the lead singers. The production is polished and full, made for a hall and for headphones too. There is a clear arc from need toward trust, songs that start low and lift. It is simple by design, and the simplicity is the point.

Favourite song: God Is Able

The title song, a slow swell of assurance that the crowd takes up as one voice. It is the emotional core of the album.

Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able

The way the chorus opens out, with hundreds of voices joining, turns a statement into a shared act of trust. It reminds me of a hard stretch of trail where a steady companion keeps your pace and your nerve. The song does not argue; it simply rests on the promise and invites you to rest there too.

Key takeaway

God Is Able is a steady, singable worship record for congregations and quiet rooms alike. A gentle recommendation.
