Hillsong Worship's "Faith + Hope + Love" Turns 10 This Month
Ten years ago this July, Hillsong Worship released their 18th live worship record Faith + Hope + Love. The album was recorded live at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on 29 March 2009 by the Hillsong Live Worship team led by Brooke Ligertwood, Reuben Morgan, Darlene Zschech & Joel Houston.
The album peaked at #2 on Billboard's Christian albums chart and debutted at #47 on the overall Billboard 200, a huge success for a worship album then. The album was also nominated for a Dove Award for Long Form Music Video of the Year at the 41st GMA Dove Awards.
Joel Houston was quoted saying: "Beyond the sound, the rhythm, the art... beyond the strings, the keys, the melodies... beyond the stage, the set, the lights... are the people. Ordinary men, women & children, from all walks of life, in all sorts of circumstances and each one with a unique story to tell."
"This is the Church... and this is Hillsong's 18th live praise and worship album 'faith+hope+love'. Everyone together playing their part and lending their voice to the collective story, our story. The prayer is that 'Faith+Hope+Love' will breathe the light, love and freedom of Christ into your life, and continue to give expression to what God is doing in and through people all over the Earth."
Here are some trivials about the album:
- This is the first Hillsong Live album not to take its name from one of its songs.
- This is the last time songwriter Mia Fieldes had a sole composition on a Hillsong album. Fieldes wrote "It's Your Love" which was performed by Darlene Zschech.
- The songs "You Hold Me Now" and "No Reason to Hide" are also featured on the later Hillsong United album Across the Earth: Tear Down the Walls, released May 2009.
- This is the first Hillsong Live album that does not feature worship leader Marty Sampson since "Touching Heaven Changing Earth" in 1998.
