2. HILLSONG WORSHIP - let there be light (2016)
I have wanted to review this album since last year but time constraints have not allowed me.. Anyway here is a summary about the album, plus the download link.


Hillsong Worship - let there be light (2016) official cover art.
Summary info on the album:
Taking its cue from Genesis 1:3 is Hillsong Worship's titular "Let There Be Light" (stylized as "let there be light".)  And in at least three ways, this album is a return to the group's grassroots genesis. First, this 25th live album sees the return of Brooke (Fraser) Ligertwood as the worship leader on two cuts.  Though Ligertwood has never ceased writing for the Australian worship team, she has not been on the microphone since 2010's "A Beautiful Exchange."  Second, the same can be said of Marty Sampson.  In the earlier days, Sampson used to be one of the most prominent male voices of the team.  After a period of conspicuous absence, Sampson is back both as a songwriter of 2 songs and he sings lead on his self-penned "Elohim."  Third, while their previous record "OPEN HEAVEN / River Wild" was a tad more experimental and ethereal, this new record gets back to their mother's milk of solidly congregational-focused songs. (Hallels)

Album: let there be light (Deluxe Edition).
Number of tracks: 17 
Note: I have excluded a short sermon by Pastor Brian Houston (Behold, New Roads) in the download I'm sharing.
Album length: 92 minutes, 58 seconds (without the short sermon)
Date of release: October 14, 2016
Record label: Hillsong Music, Sparrow Records and Capitol Christian Music Group.
Music genre: Contemporary Christian/Gospel, alternative, rock, CEDM.

Whatever You Do, Please Don't Fall In Love


Or fall in love anyway;

Fall in love so deeply, so recklessly...Fall in love so that your heart can be barbecued, grilled and smothered;
Fall in love so that your mind can explode a multiple times into small fragments like fireflies and disappear into oblivion...
Yes, maybe, just fall in love so that you may know the depths of bliss and disarray;
Fall in love anyway, because there is no one that is going to catch you after you come down with a thud!


Because,
If you've ever fallen in love,
If you've ever been loved,
There are two things; no, three things that you have found to be true:
That love is circular: it goes around and comes around,
That love is inexpensive: it brags itself to be aloof and in a class of its own ; and
That mature love is like wine: when you take too much of it, you get drunk, too little of it makes you yearn for more and "just enough" is never enough.

So falling in love leaves you neither in the waters of love nor on the shores...

But in a way I can't explain, mature love cripples the soul.
It retards it's ability to do normal things.
It matures the soul into doing the unthinkable, extraordinary, stupid and almost malevolent things;

Mature love is dangerous.
Childish love is dangerous.
Lukewarm love is dangerous.
All love is dangerous.
All love is not bad; just dangerous.

Stories of love are stories of bloody hearts and broken bones,
They are stories of rugged crosses, thorn-brawed faces and empty graves.
They are stories full of stories inside stories that were stories.


In all my life, I've fallen in love at least twice.
I know how it feels. I know how it tastes.

I know its pits and mountains, its lilies and scotches.I know its sourness and it's sweetness.
I've tasted both the angst and the anticipation;
And all these times, love has proved two things: that it tastes the same way if you get it just right,
And that it can be trodden upon just much;

But if you were my son and you happened to ask me, "Dad, should I fall in love?"
I'll tell you this:
It is beautiful, but it is dangerous. So, please, whatever you do, son, don't fall in love. Or fall in it anyway, because your heart can't help it and somehow, love delights and thrives in it own wars.

This tiny writing is for that person who knows what it means when we say, "I am thirsty, but please don't give me water, it will kill me."

LYRICS:

I’m swimming against the current
Swimming against the current
I think I need you... I need you

I'm trying so hard to finish
Trying so hard to finish
Strong bad I need you... I need you

I’m trying to make sense of it
Trying to make sense of it all
But I can tell that’s the truth... Ow!

‘Cos you all I’ve ever needed
You all I’ve ever needed
But I don’t know the truth... Ooohwu!

BRIDGE:
You are my star...
You show me the way
The way back to you
You are my sun
You brighten my grey
And make my sky blue

CHORUS:
You are the light in my dark
Without you my world would be so empty, empty
You filled the space in my heart
Please don't leave me feeling so empty, empty... Yeah!

I’m swimming against the current
Swimming against the current
I think I need you... I need you

I'm trying so hard to finish
Trying so hard to finish
Strong bad I need you... I need you

I’m trying to make sense of it
Trying to make sense of it all
But I can tell that’s the truth... Ow!

‘Cos you all I’ve ever needed
You all I’ve ever needed
But I don’t know the truth... Ooohwu!

BRIDGE:
You are my star...
You show me the way
The way back to you
You are my sun
You brighten my grey
And make my sky blue

CHORUS:
You are the light in my dark
Without you my world would be so empty, empty
You filled the space in my heart
Please don't leave me feeling so empty, empty...

VAMP:
I really need a miracle
I really need a miracle
Tell me is that you?... is that you? (x4)

REPEAT [BRIDGE]

REPEAT [CHORUS]
