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".
Heaven Knows
Hillsong United Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes forgiveness is like a man at war
God only knows why love is worth the fall
Maybe that's what makes it love
Maybe that's what makes it love
I can hear it now, the everlasting sound
Roaring like a lion deep within me
Sweet surrender, hold my heart and not let go
I'm letting go
And Heaven knows
I love you so
Hold my heart, don't let it break like fear
Sometimes a moment feels like a thousand years
God only knows why love is drenched in tears
Maybe that's what makes it love
Maybe that's what makes it love
I can hear it now, the everlasting sound
Roaring like a lion deep within me
I won't hold it long, I wasn't made that strong
Sweet surrender, hold my heart and not let go
I'm letting go
And Heaven knows
I love you so
(How great Your love is)
(How great Your love is)
Then sings my soul
Then sings my soul
How great Your love is
How great Your love is
Then sings my soul
Then sings my soul
How great Your love is
How great Your love is
The lyrics of "Heaven Knows" by Hillsong United explore the complexities of love, forgiveness, and surrendering one's heart. The song begins by acknowledging the pain and vulnerability that can come with forgiveness, comparing it to being in a battle. It suggests that love is worth the risk and the fall, highlighting the paradoxical nature of love. The line "Maybe that's what makes it love" implies that it is precisely the challenges and sacrifices involved in love that make it so powerful and meaningful.
The chorus of the song expresses a deep longing for a divine presence. The reference to the "everlasting sound" roaring like a lion within the singer suggests a powerful, overwhelming sense of connection to a higher power. The plea to hold the heart and not let go indicates a desire for complete surrender and trust.

Deus Sabe
Segure meu coração, não deixe-o sangrar não mais
Às vezes, o perdão é como um homem em guerra
Só Deus sabe por que o amor vale a queda
Talvez seja isso que o amor faz
Talvez seja isso que o amor faz
Posso ouvi-lo agora
O som eterno
Rugindo como um leão dentro de mim
Não vou aguentar muito
Não fui feito tão forte
Doce redenção, segure meu coração e não o deixe ir
Estou deixando ir
E Deus sabe
Eu te amo tanto
Segure meu coração, não deixe ele quebrar como o medo
Às vezes um momento é como mil anos
Só Deus sabe por que o amor é banhado em lágrimas
Talvez seja isso que o amor faz
Talvez seja isso que o amor faz
Então, minha alma canta
Então, minha alma canta
Quão grande o seu amor é
Quão grande o seu amor é
