Ever since I became aware of Christian music, I never really liked Hillsong. They had a couple songs that I thought were pretty good, but for the most part, I disliked how each song was like 10 minutes long with build ups that took entirely too much time. Also, they kinda had a old school, gospely feel to me which I really wasn't a fan of.
Well, this past month I got forced into attending a Hillsong concert in Austin. To be honest, I actually was kinda adamant about not wanting to "waste $35" to listen to crappy music, but ended up going.
The term "anointed" is the only word that does the group justice when you worship with them. From the first time they step onto stage and throughout, they jive w/ the Holy Spirit in a way that you can't help but meet God. Musically, they are talented beyond measure... amazing singers, amazing musicians. But what really struck me was their intense JOY in worshiping God through music. Everyone was worshiping so freely it was a blessing just to witness it.
One song in particular (out of many) stood out to me for its raw and powerful lyrics.
