This is because a lot of the Christian music that speaks about Jesus just sounds, in my opinion, very bad. Poorly produced, carelessly written. It doesn't sound genuine. And I love singing hymns and songs of praise to my Creator, but a lot of new Christian tunes sound tired, formulaic.
Enter Hillsong United.
When I saw them at the 2014 Passion conference, everything within me said, FINALLY! Here is a band who wants to glorify God, but are actually musicians. This is how the Lord should be glorified: passionately and with care for the craft.
"Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy." ~ Psalm 33:3
I believe God has created us to create, and to enjoy that process. I think He likes watching us painstakingly piece together a song, giving thought to (even dwelling on) the lyrics, and watching our creative imaginations at work.
Most of all, I believe God wants our worship to be genuine expressions of our hearts for Him.
Hillsong is changing my view of worship. I praise God for this band, and the passion they put into their work.
