For some people it seems confusing, but there is actually a difference between Hillsong Music Australia, Hillsong, Hillsong Live, Hillsong Chapel, Hillsong United. Some of these early albums when reissued are also tagged by the recordcompany as "Hillsong Music Australia ft. Darlene Zschech" or "Various Artists". Maybe it is up to the listener how to tag this, although scrobbling from itunes also gives various results.
Hillsong's music has become well-known internationally amongst Christian groups. Songs such as "Power of Your Love" by Geoff Bullock and "Shout to the Lord" by Darlene Zschech have become popular and are sung throughout churches world-wide. Hillsong have released over 40 albums since 1992, many of them achieving gold status in Australia. Although the music is not well known amongst the mainstream, their 2004 live praise and worship album For All You've Done reached #1 in the mainstream Australian album charts (ARIA) when many copies were sold during Hillsong's annual conference.
Hillsong is one of the strongest influential factors on Christian pop culture and Christian pop music. Hillsong United, in particular influences Christian youth of today. Marty Sampson, Joel Houston and Jonathon Douglass are considered the Brad Pitt of Christian pop culture, with their always-changing hair styles featured on the annual Hillsong United album DVD.

The Lifter of my head
I see You veiled in majesty
We cry glory, glory
We cry glory to the King
I cry, I cry, Lord
Yes, we do though
Lord, my heart cries out
Glory to the King
My greatest love in life
I hand You everything
Glory, glory
I hear the angels sing
Open my ears
Let me hear Your voice
To know that sweet sound
Oh, my soul rejoice
Glory, we cry, glory
I hear the angels sing
You're the Father to the fatherless
The answer to my dreams
I see You crowned in righteousness
We cry glory to the King
Comforter to the lonely
The Lifter of my head

Great is the Lord
God almighty
Great is the Lord on high
The train of His robe
Fills the temple
And we cry out
Highest praise
Glory to the risen king
Glory to the Son
Glorious Son
Lift up your hands
Open the doors
Let the king
Of glory come in
And forever be our God
Holy is the Lord
God almighty
Holy is the Lord on high
Let all the earth
Bow before you
And crown You Lord of all

Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤
