Album Reviews

One Way
“One Way” is an exciting start to “Ultimate Worship” with electrifying strumming and an energetic drum beat. This is a fantastic live recording that praises God for being “the only one that we can live for” and the congregation lift their voices and worship Him for never changing.

My Redeemer Lives
Obvious excitement is apparent in “My Redeemer Lives” and adds a wonderful atmospheric touch to the Christian music song. The beautiful harmonies from the choir will definitely spark interest from the listener as are absolutely fantastic.
^Top

Glory
Darlene Zschech’s beautiful voice dominates the song “Glory” as she sings praises to the “Lord God Almighty”. This soothing Christian music song is unexpectedly cut into by electrifying guitar rifts which adds a burst of excitement to this already enjoyable song.
^Top

Made me Glad
“Made Me Glad” sings of desiring nothing but the Lord and is initially a slow and gentle Christian music song. The wonderful harmonies and crescendo of sound in the chorus makes the whole song seem much more powerful, and is a brilliant touch.
^Top

The Potter’s Hand
The emotional “Potter’s Hand” is a beautiful song that sings of living every day for God and giving everything to the “Potter’s Hand”. The harmony-rich choir backing Darlene Zschech’s powerful vocals is amazing as they steadily rise in passion and volume until they end in a crescendo of harmonious praise.
^Top

Shout Your Fame
“Shout Your Fame”, taken from the 2003 recording “Hillsong London Shout God’s Fame”. This is a great energetic Christian music song that encourages us to “shout God’s fame” to the world.
^Top

Better Than Life
The groovy “Better Than Life” will soon have listeners dancing and singing along to the lyrics that sing of the greatness of God and how we will never stop loving Him. What this song lacks in quantity is made up with quality and bursts with praise for God. This is an excellent addition to this collection.

Here I Am To Worship
The Tim Hughes classic “Here I am to Worship” is a very well-known song, and Hillsong have done a wonderful rendition of it, packed with passion and emotion. This is a beautiful Christian music song that simply thanks Jesus for what He did for us on the cross.
^Top

All For Love
“All For Love”, originally recorded on “Look To You” praises God for his never ending forgiveness and for the great love He has for us. This is a lovely gentle song with both male and female solos which brings a great dimension to the song.
^Top

I Give You My Heart
“I Give You My Heart” is a beautiful Christian music song which allows us to quietly focus on the lyrics. Darlene Zschech’s powerful voice comes alive in this song and she outpours her praise to God backed with the thousands of worshippers as recorded on “Unified Praise”, which gives a great atmospheric touch to this well-known and much loved song.
^Top

Everyday
We stay in the Sydney SuperDome for “Everyday”, which is an astonishingly upbeat song with a great atmosphere. The climaxing repetition of “Its you I live for everyday” is accompanied by loads of cheering and clapping proving to be a well liked song.
^Top

Now That You’re Near
The fun drum beat on “Now That You’re Near” is probably the most exciting thing about this song. The lyrics sing of wishing to spend eternity with God. I wouldn’t spend too much time on this song though – as it can easily be skipped in order to listen to some real classics.
^Top

Still
“Still” is a beautiful song with powerful lyrics that sing of being at peace in God’s presence. The chorus is fantastic with amazing harmonies and a crescendo of added volume and drums to go with the words “Thunders roar”, and this is contrasted hugely with the quietness of the gentle verses. This is probably the most musically exciting Christian music song on the album.
^Top

All The Heavens
“All The Heavens” is a simple praise song with amazing vocals by Darlene Zschech and a wonderful atmospheric touch by the congregation. This Christian music song is nothing special, and can simply be described as “nice”.
^Top

Highest
Christian music songs recorded for the album “Hope” makes a regular occurrence on this album, and we are now faced with “Highest” which has a beautiful melody in the middle. The Hillsong Team are singing praise with great gusto, and this song is a wonderful powerful addition to this collection.
^Top

Worthy Is The Lamb
The emotional “Worthy is the Lamb” is made exciting by the amazing vocals of Darlene Zschech and the choir. This Christian music song thanks Jesus for what He did for us, and the live atmosphere adds a spark of excitement for the listener.
^Top

Shout To The Lord
Taken from “Kiss of Heaven”, “Shout To The Lord” is a very well known Christian music song that is bound to put a smile on your face. The background singing of the choir mixed with the delightful vocals of Darlene Zschech will amaze and delight you, and it needs to be phenomenal as this song lacks the live atmosphere that all the other songs on this album have. Despite that, this is the perfect song to end an album packed to bursting with best of Hillsong.
