Let There Be Light by Hillsong Worship

Let There Be Light is the 2016 live album from Hillsong Worship, recorded at the Hillsong Conference in Sydney. It gathers a fresh set of congregational songs in the band's wide, layered style. The theme follows the title from Genesis: light breaking into darkness, and the praise that answers it.

Why listen?

The sound is full live worship, swelling synths and guitars under a room full of voices. The production is clean and spacious, built to carry a crowd. The lyrics centre on the name of Jesus, on grace and on the light that scatters the dark. There is a sense of a service unfolding, from quiet awe to full voiced praise. It is music made for singing together rather than only listening.

Favourite song: What a Beautiful Name

The song that carried the album around the world, a measured hymn that builds to wonder. Its melody and words set it well above the rest.

What a beautiful Name it is
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a beautiful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
The Name of Jesus

The song moves from a hush to a height, gathering the room as it climbs. It feels like a path that opens onto a wide view, drawing every breath upward. That slow rise into awe is what stays with me.

Key takeaway

Let There Be Light is a bright live worship record anchored by a lasting hymn. A warm, singable listen.
