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.
One Desire
Hillsong Music Australia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soul desire, my everything
And all I am is devoted to You
How could I fail to see
You are the love that rescued me
And all I am is devoted to You
Lord here with You
So have Your way in me
Cause Lord, there is just one thing
That I will seek
This is my cry
My one desire
Is to be where You are, Lord
Now and forever
It's more than a song
My one desire
Is to be with You
Is to be with You, Jesus
The lyrics of Hillsong Live’s song One Desire speak of an unconditional devotion to Jesus Christ. The song begins with an acknowledgment of Jesus’ sacrifice for humankind, which is characterized as the ultimate act of love. The singer refers to Jesus as their “soul desire” and their “everything,” suggesting that devotion to Christ takes priority over worldly desires. The refrain of the song, “My one desire is to be where You are, Lord. Now and forever,” emphasizes the unrelenting nature of this devotion.
The second verse of the song references the singer’s personal experience of being rescued by Jesus’ love. The declaration that “all I am is devoted to You” implies that this rescue was transformative and all-encompassing, with the singer’s entire identity and existence now wholly dedicated to Christ. The bridge of the song further emphasizes the singer’s commitment to allowing Jesus to have his way in their life, with the acknowledgement that there is only one thing worth pursuing: being with Jesus.
Overall, the lyrics of One Desire are a reflection on the depth and breadth of Christian devotion. It speaks of a level of commitment and love that transcends worldly pleasures and desires, and instead prioritizes a deep connection with Jesus.

Always trust God. 🙏☝️

@Evangeline Grace God is giving you this chance para mas makilala mo pa sya at mas makita mo ang pagmamahal na kaya nyang ibigay sayo, maybe no one is there to understand you but always remember that God is always with you.
