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".

Hillsong United Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the earth You rest Your feet
Yet the hands that cradle the stars
Are the hands that bled for me
In a moment of glorious surrender
You were broken for all the world to see
Lifted out of the ashes
Freedom found in Your scars
In Your grace my life redeemed
For You chose to take the sinner's crown
As You placed Your crown on me
In that moment of glorious surrender
Was the moment You broke the chains in me
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath
And in that moment You opened up the heavens
To the broken the beggar and the thief
Lifted out of the wreckage
I find hope in the aftermath
And I know that You're with me
Yes I know that You're with me here
And I know Your love will light the way
Now all I have I count it all as loss
But to know You and to carry the cross
Knowing I'm found
In the light of the aftermath

The skies lay low where You are
The atmosphere around You seems to be becoming lower
On the earth You rest Your feet
Your feet rest on the ground
Yet the hands that cradle the stars
The hands that hold the stars
Are the hands that bled for me
The hands that shed blood for me
In a moment of glorious surrender
In that time when You gave up everything for us
You were broken for all the world to see
You allowed Yourself to be broken in front of the world's eyes
Lifted out of the ashes
Picked up from the remains
I am found in the aftermath
I am discovered in the results of Your sacrifice
Freedom found in Your scars
I found freedom in the signs of Your sacrifice
In Your grace my life redeemed
Through Your kindness, my life was reborn
For You chose to take the sinner's crown
You determined to take ownership of the crown for sinners
As You placed Your crown on me
As You bestowed me with Your authority
Was the moment You broke the chains in me
That was the instant when You released me from my bondage
And in that moment You opened up the heavens
In that moment You unlocked the gateway to heaven
To the broken the beggar and the thief
To the shattered, the poverty-stricken, and the criminal
Lifted out of the wreckage
Brought up from the ruins
I find hope in the aftermath
I gain optimism in the consequences of Your sacrifice
And I know that You're with me
And I'm aware that You're here with me
Yes I know that You're with me here
Yes, I'm aware that You're here with me
And I know Your love will light the way
And I'm aware Your love will guide me
Now all I have I count it all as loss
I compensate every possession as worthless
But to know You and to carry the cross
But to understand You and to bear the responsibility
Knowing I'm found
Acknowledging I'm discovered
In the light of the aftermath
In the brightness of Your sacrifice's outcomes

We will still be gloriously serving you in the aftermath of all this turmoil.
For there is none that loves us as You do
You've watched over us and will continue to cuddle us in Your love
For in Your arms is found all the safety and hope we need
In You we live and move and our being
Your breath is what gives us life, peace and light
In Your presence we are safe and quarantined from quarantine
We may be locked down physically but in You we are as free as Noah's dove in the sky
From all the floods of the plague of sin and death
Our souls are free and glad even though our flesh may feel contrary
We knew the end from the beginning cos we know You the Alpha and the Omega
And the end of the story is that we won, we overcame and we have the victory
For You are our Captain of Host, the One who marches on valiantly
We follow on from conquest to conquest as the nations are taken for Your name
Indeed the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of God
And this Glorious Gospel will be preached to the ends of the earth
Then shall Your kingdom come and You will come for Your own
To the city that has no pain, tears and death
Where our flesh will ache and wrinkle no more
For we shall be clothed in the beauty of the glory of Your presence
And Your name we shall glory and worship from eternity to eternity
O how we long for that day, the day of our final Salvation

Consequência
VERSO 1
Os céus se abaixam onde Você está
Na terra Você descansa os pés
No entanto, as mãos que embalam as estrelas
São as mãos que sangraram por mim
CORO
Em um momento de renúncia gloriosa
Você foi quebrado para todo o mundo ver
Levantou-se das cinzas
Eu sou encontrado pela consequência
VERSO 2
A liberdade encontrada em Suas cicatrizes
Em Sua graça minha vida foi redimida
Pois Você escolheu pegar a coroa do pecador
Quando colocou Sua coroa em mim
CORO
Naquele momento de renúncia gloriosa
Foi o momento que Você quebrou as correntes em mim
Levantou-se das cinzas
Eu sou encontrado pela consequência
E nesse momento Você abriu os
Céus
Para os, pobres, os pedintes e os ladrões
Se levantou dos destroços
Eu encontro esperança na consequência
PONTE
E eu sei que Tu estás comigo
Sim, eu sei que Tu estás comigo aqui
E eu sei que Seu amor vai iluminar o caminho
CORO
Agora tudo o que tenho eu conto como perda
Mas, conhecê-lo e carregar a cruz
Sabendo que eu me encontrei
À luz das consequências
Samson Jikeme
