In 1999, Morgan and Marty Sampson formed "United Live". Darlene Zschech, the worship pastor of Hillsong (1995-2007), had suggested to Morgan that they make an album with the youth worship team and, in 1999, they made their debut album called Everyday with Morgan and Sampson leading the team. Morgan continued to make four more albums with United Live until 2002. He decided that it was time for him to leave the group and pass the torch on to the next generation. His last album with Hillsong United, for the band name changed when he left, was To the Ends of the Earth. Replacing him as a worship leader of Hillsong United was Joel Houston, the son of the senior pastor of Hillsong, Brian Houston.
In 2005, Morgan signed with Rocketown Records, owned by Michael W. Smith. The company released his debut album in the United States, but four of the original songs were removed in favour of cover versions of Hillsong songs written by Morgan. In addition, the remaining songs were remixed and the resulting songs had a heavier feel when compared to the softer adult contemporary-style originals.
Morgan has toured extensively around the United States, Canada and Europe. His latest album, Everyone, contains Morgan's personal interpretation of his music and was mostly written in the previous 18 months, recorded in a big sounding, studio worship version without the congregational elements of live worship. Mainly featuring covers of previously released Hillsong songs written by Morgan, it was released in Australia on 2 October 2006.
Morgan officially became Hillsong's new worship pastor in 2008, replacing Darlene Zschech. He is married to Sarah and they have two children.
Eagles's wings
Reuben Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Abide in me I pray
Here I am longing for You
Hide me in Your love
Bring me to my knees
May I know Jesus more and more
Come live in me
Come breathe in me
And I will rise
On eagles wings
The lyrics to Reuben Morgan's song "Eagles Wings" speak of someone who is waiting and calling out to God to abide in them. The persona of the song is yearning for a deeper relationship with God and asks for His love to surround them. They want to be brought to their knees in worship and to know Jesus more and more. The second verse speaks of fully surrendering one's life to God, allowing Him to take over and completely fill them with His presence. The chorus makes use of the metaphor of eagles wings, which represent strength, freedom, and soaring above all earthly troubles. The persona expresses their desire to rise above their problems and challenges, and to experience the power of God's love lifting them up.

Here I am waiting
I am patiently anticipating Your presence
Abide in me I pray
Stay with me permanently, I ask
Here I am longing for You
I have an earnest desire for You
Hide me in Your love
Protect me within the bounds of Your affection
Bring me to my knees
Lead me to deep worship and submission
May I know Jesus more and more
Grant me deeper knowledge and understanding of Jesus
Come live in me
Reside within me completely
All my life take over
Guide my entire existence
Come breathe in me
Fill me with Your life-giving breath
And I will rise
I will ascend to new heights
On eagles wings
Carried by Your strength and protection, like an eagle carries its young
