So the Hillsong Conference- Encounter in Miami absolutely rocked my stinkin socks off! (Although I don't think I wore socks the entire time, which therefore means they did not actually stink...) But alas, wow. I think EVERY believer needs to experience being in an arena with thousands of people all there worshipping with everything that they have! It was beyond amazing.. and of course Hillsong always brings their best! The worship was OUTSTANDING! and the videos... EVEN BETTER! brought me to tears nearly every time. wow. One of the phrases that has just stuck with me since the conference and listening to United's most recent album a million times.. is "let HOPE rise!"
Here are the lyrics to Tear Down the Walls... where you find the phrase "HOPE RISE!"
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves
Look beyond
There is so much more than this
And I don’t need to see it to believe it
I don’t need to see it to believe it
Cause I can’t shake this
Fire deep inside my heart
Look to the skies hope rise
See His majesty revealed
More than this life there is love
There is hope and this is real
Cause I don’t need to see it to believe it
I don’t need to see it to believe it
Cause I can’t shake this fire burning
Deep inside my heart
This life is Yours and hope is rising
As Your glory floods our hearts
Let love tear down these walls
That all creation would
Come back to You
It’s all for You
Your Name is glorious
Glorious
Your love is changing us
Calling us
To worship in spirit and in truth
As all creation returns to You
Oh for all the sons and daughters
Who are walking in the darkness
You are calling us to lead them back to You
We will see Your spirit rising
As the lost come out of hiding
Every heart will see this hope we have in You
Cause I don’t need to see it to believe it
I don’t need to see it to believe it
Cause I can’t shake this fire burning
Deep inside my heart
This life is Yours and hope is rising
As Your glory floods our hearts
Let love tear down these walls
That all creation would
Come back to You
It’s all for You
Your Name is glorious
Glorious
Your love is changing us
Calling us
To worship in spirit and in truth
As all creation returns to You
