Hillsong United 's Zion

By Hannah Goodwyn
Senior Producer

CBN.com – Hillsong United delivers soon-to-be worship standards yet again with their new album, Zion. Power anthems unabashedly declare the greatness of our God. The music, the lyrics, the movement, it all comes together in Zion.

The album's third track, "Scandal of Grace", is just one example of its spot-on worship.

Grace, what have You done?
Murdered for me on that cross
Accused in absence of wrong
My sin washed away in Your blood

Too much to make sense of it all
I know that Your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace, You died in my place
So my soul will live

Hillsong United continues fulfilling the call to worship recorded in Psalm 9:11.

"Make music to praise the Lord, who is enthroned in Zion. Announce to the nations what he has done." (GOD'S WORD)

May they keep making worship music that convicts our hearts, celebrates God's grace and everlasting love and exhorts believers around the world to draw near to Zion more and more each day for many years to come.

Album Highlights: "Relentless", "Scandal of Grace" and "Heartbeats"
