Hillsong United and Chris Tomlin Upcoming Tour and Giveaway

 

Are you ready for a brand-new tour announcement featuring hit Christian artists all on one stage? 

 

Hillsong United and Chris Tomlin embark on tour on February 22, 2022. They will be on tour until April ending in my home state of Georgia. They will hit a total of 33 cities. 

 

Chris Tomlin has tons of Christian hits on the radio and is an award winner artist. He has many different styles of worship songs and some have fast uplifting tempos and some are slower. He is one of the artists that seems to make the songs work. It will be interesting to see what songs he picks to perform for the tour since he has countless hits. 

 

 

I remember the first time hearing his song “Indescribable”, “Holy is the Lord”, and “How Great is Our God” and this was the first album I purchased from him. I was in my teens and I would listen to this record over and over again. 

 

Indescribable is a song written and original performed by Laura Story. This one is a song about how beautiful the creation and world is and how God placed the stars in the sky. It’s a worship song about how amazing our Father truly is and how God even controls the lighting bolt. 

 

 

How Great is our God is another worship song about darkness trembles when you speak His Holy name. The song discussed how the God is made up of three names: the Father, Spirit, and Son. God is above all names and how He is worthy of all of our praise and honor. A lot of the chorus contains lyrics to remind ourselves about how great is our God. 

 

 

One of my favorite songs is “God’s Great Dance Floor”. I especially enjoy this one cause of the beat of the song and how it makes you want to get up and move. This is a song about returning back to where it began and where God found us. This is a freedom type song and it reminds us that God will never stop loving us no matter if we run. He will never give up on us. We can all feel alive on God’s great dance floor. 

 

 

“Our God” is probably one of his most popular hit songs and performed in churches around the world. It has even been in movies as an anthem to the power of our God. It discussed how Jesus was able to turn water into wine, opened the eyes of the blind, and out of the ashes we rise. It stated that our God is greater, stronger, higher, healer, and has power. The bridge is probably the most time listeners stand up and raise their hands to declare that if God is for us who can be against us and what could stand against. 

 

Another favorite thing, I have really enjoyed was when Chris decided to do a country album featuring hit country artists: Lady A, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line, Chris Lane, Russell Dickerson, RaeLynn, Brett Young, Cassadee Pope, NeedtoBreathe, and more. Listeners have probably heard “Who You Are to Me” since it is a radio hit featuring Lady A. I love the lyrics of this song and how this one talked about who God is to us personally. The outside world will not understand that scope of true love but it is available for them to receive.




 

Hillsong United is a popular worship band that started in 1998 in Australia. It’s a youth band that was formed from the original church of Hillsong. I’m excited to see which worship songs they choose to perform since like Tomlin they have tons of albums to choose from. 

 

One of the most popular songs is “From the Inside Out”. This song is about letting the love of God consume us. The cry of our hearts needs to be to give God praise and to reply on Him as an everlasting love. We need to surrender our wills and to instead focus on His purpose for our lives. 

 

One of my favorite songs by them would be “The Stand”. This one first starts by explain how God stood before creation and spoke the world into forming. Next, it revealed how Jesus carried the cross and stood with the weight of our sins. This one is a song about standing in awe of God’s power and love with our hands lifted high.

 

Another popular song is called, “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)”. This one is about being called out unto the water and how our feet may make us fall. It explained how God hasn’t failed us and how we need to put our trust into Him. 



If you're ready for an awesome worship and family friendly concert, then go see them out on the road!

Wonder Hillsong United Album Review and Giveaway






Hillsong United is back with a brand new praise and worship album entitled, “Wonder”. It contains 12 new songs. One of the most beautiful songs on the album is called, “Splinters and Stones”. It discussed how Jesus died for sins and how He gave us grace and forgiveness. It talked about how his accusers threw stones at Jesus and how He endure it for us. It also shared about how most likely he received splinters from carrying his own cross. Jesus loved us enough to die for our sins and He offered us grace. This song praised God for all He has done for us. Another amazing song was called, “So Will I (100 Billion X). This one explored how God was able to speak to the darkness and command there will be light. The song declared how if the stars, ocean, mountains, wind, and rocks will praise the Creator, so will I. All of the songs contain a message of hope and the power of grace and knowing and praising our Savior. 




I would recommend this awesome album to anyone who enjoys praise and worship music. The brand new Hillsong United album will soon become favorites of listeners and worship leaders. The album has a message of living with wonder and being in awe of the incredible power of Jesus and how He deserves our full praise.
