This Is Our God by Hillsong Worship

This Is Our God is Hillsong's live praise album from 2008, recorded at the Acer Arena in Sydney before a crowd of more than ten thousand. The team built it around plain, direct worship, with Reuben Morgan and Joel Houston leading much of the night. I came to it for the size of the sound and the way a whole room sings as one.

Why listen?

The record carries the energy of a live night, with a band and a crowd pushing each song higher. The production is full and warm, made to fill a hall and a pair of headphones alike. The words stay simple and clear, turning again and again to trust and surrender. There is a real sense of journey across the set, from quiet prayer to loud praise. It is music for a long climb with company.

Favourite song: Desert Song

A slow, patient song about holding to faith in dry seasons, sung with steady conviction. It stands out for its honesty and its calm strength.

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

The way the band lifts under the final chorus turns a small prayer into a shared one. It reminds me of walking a long, bare track when the view finally opens and the effort pays off. The song does not pretend the path is easy, which is why it lands.

Key takeaway

This Is Our God is a strong, open-hearted live worship record best heard loud. A warm recommendation for anyone who likes to sing along.
