In 2013, United continued to their long string of worship albums withcompletely new material entitled Zion. Mixing a new digital sound, and their signature lyrics, they topped charts globally, and Zion became Hillsong United's highest selling album. Some songs include Oceans (Where Feet May Fail), Scandal Of Grace, Relentless, Love Is War, and Nothing Like Your Love. In late 2013, after the massive success of their song Oceans (Where Feet May Fail), United released an entire EP entitled Oceans. Not too long afterwards, United released an acoustic version of the album Zion, and in March 2014, they released their first remix album entitled "The White Album Project".

Hillsong United Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To sing a song to You
A song of praise and honor
For all the things You helped us through
You gave a life worth living
A life in love with You
And now I just love giving
You're the Father of creation
The risen Lamb of God
You're the One who walked away
From the empty tomb that day
And You set Your people free
With love and liberty
And I can walk with You
Every night and every day
You're the Father of creation
The risen Lamb of God
You're the One who walked away
From the empty tomb that day
And You set Your people free
With love and liberty
And I can walk with You
Every night and every day
We come into Your presence
To sing a song to You
A song of praise and honor
For all the things You helped us through
You gave a life worth living
A life in love with You
And now I just love giving
All my praises back to You
You're the Father of creation

From the empty tomb that day
And You set Your people free
With love and liberty
And I can walk with You
Every night and every day
You're the Father of creation
The risen Lamb of God
You're the One who walked away
From the empty tomb that day

You're the One who walked away
From the empty tomb that day
And You set Your people free
With love and liberty
