The annual Hillsong United CD/DVD is recorded during their October youth conference Encounterfest; the album is released in February the following year. The 2007 Hillsong United album "All of the Above" was released on the 17th of March. Unlike all of the previous United albums, this CD was studio recorded.
To date in 2008, Hillsong United have released the first part of the I Heart Revolution recordings; 'With Hearts as One', made live around the world during the band's recent tours. The CD features previously released United tracks recorded live in different locations, and the first installment of a live DVD.
In 2009, they released 'Across the Earth: Tear down the walls', followed by 'A F T E R M A T H' on February 15th 2011.
On February 14, 2012, 'LIVE IN MIAMI (Welcome to the Aftermath)' was released. It contained songs from both the album Aftermath, and several other of their greatest hits, such as "The Stand," "With Everything," and "Your Name High." It was also the first fully recorded Hillsong United tour.
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".
Heart Like Heaven
Hillsong United Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No measure knows your worth
Face down
Where mercy finds me first
If you sought perfection
I'd die tryin' to reach it
But this broken heart is all you want
Singin' holy
Heart like heaven
Singin' holy
God almighty
Own this heart broke sound
Singin' holy is your name
Singin' holy is your name
Own the sound forever
Heart and heaven together
Singin' holy is your name
And if it lifts you higher
Burn in me your desire
A passion worthy of your name
Own the sound forever
Heart and heaven together
Singin' holy is your name
And if it lifts you higher
Burn in me your desire
A passion worthy of your name
And I'll throw my weakness
Into your greatness
If this broken heart is all you want
Singin' holy
Heart like heaven
Singin' holy
God almighty
Own this heart broke sound
Singin' holy is your name
Singin' holy

You are worthy of all praise

The opening lines of Hillsong United's song Heart Like Heaven talks about the worth of God being immeasurable, and that one can only fall humbly before Him, where mercy is first found. The singer admits that they would never be able to reach perfection, but acknowledges that a broken heart is all that God desires, acknowledging His holiness and greatness. The chorus then repeats the phrase "Singin' holy, heart like heaven," a declaration of praise for God's name and His worthiness of all praise. The lyricist then appeals to God to fill them with a passion and desire for Him that is worthy of His name.
The repeating phrases of "singin' holy, heart like heaven" serve as a reminder that one's heart can be holy like heaven, where God ultimately reigns. The song encourages the listener to surrender to God, to be unafraid of giving their broken hearts to Him, knowing that He desires them all the same. The final lines emphasize that God is worthy of all praise and that He will always reign as King forever.

I was saved last year on June, 2016. Before Jesus Christ showed me the truth, I was in a lot of darkness. I was born with autism and I got bullied a lot through elementary school. I thought that my Nanny was the only person who loved and understood me. After she died on March 19, 2011, I became so depressed and I dealt with a lot of anger. I kind of believed in God, but I didn't read the Bible because I got headaches whenever I did. I kept begging God to help me but it didn't seem like He was there. Eventually I cried out,"God, if you are real, why do you let bad things happen to me?! Why would you take my Nanny away?! If you are real and love me, then prove it to me!" It still didn't seem like He was there so I stopped believing and I tried to end my life but didn't have the courage to. God did prove His existence to me! He is so real and He loves me so much!! Thank you Jesus for saving me! Thank you for dying for me on the Cross!! Thank you Jesus Christ for proving to me that You are real!! Thank you for your love and goodness! Thank you for blessing me with Hillsong Worships amazing music!!!
