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".
Soldier
Hillsong United Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm part of the army now
Praise the Lord is what I wanna shout
Even in a crowd I'm gonna sing it Loud
You can see what you want to see
But I know what he's done for me
Every day I can feel his power
He lifts me higher
All the world, can't stop, can't stop him
All the world, can't stop, can't stop him now
My God is the strongest tower
Turn to him in the scary hour
Even when it gets harder now
All I wanna do is just praise him louder
Keep singing 'til my voice run out
Keep running til he lifts me out
Keep singing it cause I can't stop
Oh, I can't stop
You got the give yourself up
You got to lose your pride
You got to see it different
Open up your spiritual eyes
The devil wants you beaten
He wants you lying, cheating
But that won't last much longer
My dad is bigger, stronger
Sound off, 1, 2 Sound off 3, 4
Bring it on down, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4

The first verse sets the tone for the song, as the singer declares that nothing can stop them now that they are part of the army of God. They are filled with gratitude and joy, and they want to share that with the world. The second verse speaks to the personal relationship the singer has with God, and how they feel that power in their daily life. The chorus enhances the theme, as it repeats that there is nothing in the world that can stop God.
The third verse is a call to action for believers to give themselves up and lose their pride, to open their minds and hearts to the wonders of the divine. The last verse brings it all together, as the song ends in a rousing call to sound off and bring it down, singing and running until the singer is lifted out of their troubles.
Overall, "Soldier" is an inspiring and energetic song that encourages Christians to stand tall and remain strong in their faith through all of life's challenges.
