One of the things that I love about Hillsongs music is their lyrics focus on God – with a lot of their songs including the phrase ‘you are’. Hillsong knows that the most power worship songs are those lifting God up, not focusing on us.
Today I want to take a quick look at a few You Are Hillsong Songs: (including excerpts of lyrics)
You Are – Hillsong Albums Hope
You ask me who do I
Say that You are and I
Say that You are the Christ
Son of the Living God
For Who You Are – Hillsong Albums Mighty To Save
I will worship you for who YOU ARE
I will worship you for who you are
I will worship you for who you are
Jesus
You Are My Strength – Hillsong Albums Saviour King
YOU ARE my strength
Strength like no other
Strength like no other
Reaches to meYOU ARE my hope
Hope like no other
Hope like no other
Reaches to me
You Are My World – Hillsong Albums You Are My World
YOU ARE my world
YOU ARE my God
And I lay down my life for You
YOU ARE my Lord
The one I love
No one could ever take Your place
Such a great selection of worship songs that turn the focus back onto God by using the phrase ‘You are’. Hillsong are continually writing songs that allow our worship to be directed to God instead of focusing on ourselves and who we are. I think this is why Hillsongs music has become so popular.
