You said, "pray and I'll hear from heaven,
And I'll heal your land."

Like water the sea.

The harvest is here, the kingdom is near."
You said, "ask and I'll give the nations to you."
Oh Lord, that's the cry of my heart.
Distant shores and the islands will see
the light
As they hear Your word.

I miss the old Hillsong under the leadership of Darlene Zschech. I believe one the reason they rose to the top was because they put Jesus before themselves. I don't think they wanted to be stars, but as they made Jesus the star, He exalted them and in my opinion they became the best Christian singing group in the world. Their albums in the 90s and the first decade of 2000 testify to this. I had the privilege of visiting Hillsong Church in Baulkham Hills, Australia in 2007. I took the bus there from Sydney. As I remember, people from different nations lined up to get on buses to go to attend the Church at Baulkham Hills. This happened because by this time, they were internationally known. The new generation singers are good also, but this old group will always have a special place in my heart. Their songs were and still are a blessing! Perhaps another reason why a number of us like this old group is because I don't think up until they arrived, no singing Christian group to my knowledge had done what they did.
