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.

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)
