This is such a wonderful album. I love, Love, LOVE it! Every time I listen to it the more that I love it. My favourite is Saviour into Wonderful God. I listen to the first disc the most just because all the songs are so fabuolous.

I play 4-5-6-7 over and over and over for worship.

Unlike one of the reviewers, I love His Love (which the Hillsong team has cheekily dubbed the Clapping Song) both lyrically and musically. It totally gets you hyped to praise our Fabulous, Wonderful, Truly Deserving God.

I love to dance and sing in His presence and this album has both joyful and thought provoking worship. Emmanuel is gorgeous and that happens to be one of the names of our Jesus that I believe isnt celebrated enough - Jesus, Emmanuel God with us, who will never leave us nor forsake us!

I love Live to Know You....Dee has such a beautiful voice!

I have to say that I love All for Love on this, BUT, I do prefer Holly Watson's voice on the Look To You Album much more. Plus, after All for Love on that album it goes into Shout Unto God....GET THAT ALBUM if only for those two songs - although that album is a "no skipping song" album to!

Get the DVD too! It is really Great, it also has the Introit called Praise in the Highest! GOOSEBUMPS everytime! For He truly does deserve all of our Praise in the Highest!

If you get this CD, and DVD you will be truly blessed as you enter in with them to worship our glorious God!

Generally, I'm not really into Christian music reviews, because different styles appeal to different people and people respond differently to what they hear, and most importantly, true worship goes way beyond the music and the words.

God He Reigns is a great album and I agree with those who say the DVD is the way to go, because the last 2 songs "Tell the World" and "What the World will never Take" are not in the CD. You hear many of these songs, such as "Salvation is Here", "All For Love", "What the World Will Never Take", etc in the older United's "Look to You". But here in "God He Reigns", they sound more refined, totally different, and they're wonderful to hear. And I don't agree with someone who says the original "All For Love" is "far superior" to the gospel version done here. One of the reasons why Hillsong appeals to so many people is that they go beyond barriers and minister in a variety of styles, and for many, that version of "All For Love" was so refreshing to hear.

The Body of Christ is very diverse, and one day, we'll all lift up our voices as one to worship Him together. Hillsong music is very simple, easy to learn, with great choruses (e.g. "One Way"), that catapult you straight into worship. The first time I saw the "God He Reigns" DVD, I played it 3 times in a row, jumping and dancing to the TV. It was an amazing experience. "Tell The World" was just the perfect finish, with a real challenge to it.

This CD was released in 2005.It was a powerful night with 10,500 worshippers.I bought this one soon after its release.I was enjoying being a Christian at the time,but these days i watch the Christain channel and do not attend a chuch at all.You get to see Brian Houston and his very enthusiastic and inspirational Bible teachings.As well as the current songs from their recent Cds.This Cd captures the magic of Hillsongs enjoyable music.You cant go wrong with Hillsongs releases.

This is my favorite Hillsong album, even though that Mighty To Save (the newest one) is very awesome, God He Reigns is my favorite, because this like all pumped up staright worship from beginning to end. If you feel like all pumped up to worship God, listen to this album.

1. Praise In The Highest - This intro only appears on the dvd, it'd be cool if it did appaeared on the album, because it prepares the environment to worship with the chorus singing "Praise in the highest...!".

2. Let Creation Sing - A song from Reuben Morgan. Really awesome song to start the album with, even though the US version cuts off the chorus repeated on the 2nd time, it's still good. It basically tells you why us the children of God are here for.

3. Salvation Is Here - One of United song's sung by Joel Houston. Really cool song, it's like the same move on For All You've Done, a United song as the 2nd song. But this one really fits with the concept of God He Reigns.

4. His Love - Very cool song, my favorite from the album, it has a good beat and tone. It's about the Psalm 23 if i'm not wrong. Really cool song talking about God's love in you.

5. Emmanuel - Another song from Reuben Morgan, even though this song is slow on the message it's one of the best Rueben's songs ever. It's very awesome when they go very pumped "Emmanuel...Jesuschrist, you'll never let me go" and when they go into new song, that's the best part that they put it there. The US version doesn't have the new song, so it sucks there.

6. Saviour - This song is written by Darlene Zschech but sang by Miriam Webster. The verses are kinda long but sweet, but the best part is the chorus how it repeteadly says "you deserve all the praise"...because he does :p.

7. Wonderful God - Good song to follow, it has kind of the same tone but it's like explosive worship there, to just be telling good how wonderful he is and what he's worth of.

8. God He Reigns/All I Need Is You - It took me a while to like this one but it's very good and simple. Written by Marty Sampson, it just tells how God Reigns forever. The All I Need Is You part is very good but i would had liked that they would had sung the verses also.

9. Yours Is The Kingdom - This song took me a while to understand it, it's from Joel Houston. Darlene was explaning on the audio documentary that he wrote very short before the recording and a lot of people didn't know nor undertood the words so it was kinda hard but went good when they recorded it. very cool beat and how Marty sings it, my favorite part is when they say "and the glory Lord...is yours"

10. Welcome In This Place - This one is like the best song of the album. It's written by Miriam Webster but sang by Darlene Zschech. It's about the Holy Spirit dwelling in you and how you're welcoming it. I always like listening to this song.

11. Let Us Adore - One of the best also. Written by Reuben Morgan also. It's a long song but very good performed, you can tell the desire of the people singing "Let us adore him..Jesuschrist Is the Lord".

12. All For Love - This is the track I always skip. This was the let down fo the album, on the Look To You album it's like the best song of it with Holly singing, and this time only men singing and I personally don't like it. It sounds too "boy-band-ish". I rarely listen to it.

13. Know You More - This song is written by Darlene Zschech, another long song but it's very sweet and how awesome they cry out "I live to know you more..."

14. There Is Nothing Like - Another United song, this time led my Marty Sampson, this was like the other explosion from the night people praising and worshipping til the end. Very good song.

15. What The World Will Never Take - This doesn't appear on the US album wihch sucks because this song rules here, it's a couple of seconds longer than the Look To You version, after the awesome cry out of There Is Nothing Like, this fits perfectly.

16. Tell The World - another one not on the US album. This song is the perfect one to close the concert, it's so awesome, the best version and how they all are jumping and stuff.

Overall, it's a very awesome album, I recomment you buy the Australian version because it's a double disc, has the last 2 songs, and most of the songs are way longer.

I first heard this CD while shopping in Family Christian Bookstores and was so moved by it. I asked for a copy but they were sold out. No surprise. I came right home and shopped on line to get it ASAP.

I love this album and all the rest of their albums at that. This album is amazing!

This is a wonderful worship CD. You're brought into His presence rejoicing. Enjoy!

hillsongs music has really become a standard of excellence in church worship music. this CD continues in that same vein. i don't think this album raised the bar of excellence, but it definately matched the level of quality from previous hillsong albums.

No comment.. DVD is great....

Thanks a lot amazon.com

What can I say! They are Awesome in Christ. I know that they are always in the presence of God. Their worship songs usher me into the presence all the time. I have all their albums and they just seem to get better and better. Let us adore is my favorite song. My favorite album of Hillsong is You are my world. So for all of you who havent heard them before you dont know what your missing. I believe that when we get to the point where we worship Christ in Sprirt and in truth we wont see the manifestation of His Glory. If you are a worshipper like Myself get their split track and bring these songs into your congregation .!!!!
