Music Review: God Is Able

27th October 2011 by Esther Pinn

Once again, Hillsong Live hooks us in with their unforgettable guitar riffs, God-inspired lyrics and passionate worship. And celebrating its 20th annual live release, God Is Able definitely captivates this same heart.

Featuring 11 new tracks and reinventing two songs from Hillsong United’s latest album, Aftermath, the Hillsong worship team describe God Is Able to be “a collection of fresh sounds and an inspiring new repertoire of congregational anthems” – also fantastic for private worship and reflection.

The album opens with a catchy guitar lead and slowly builds to produce the anthem, Rise through layering of instruments, volume and powerful lyrics – and the song literally rises!

God Is Able is the featured track on the album capturing the message that God can conquer through all life’s situations.

Hillsong have not failed its listeners in the praise department producing a catchy praise song called The Difference. While this song makes you want to dance around, the lyrics make you just as excited about declaring God promises.

By simply using the sweet tones of Darlene Zschech’s voice, the violin and piano, Hillsong steers away from their usual style by keeping Cry Of The Broken bare in instruments to encapsulate the message of the song – a cry for those who are in desperate need.

God Is Able can be downloaded for $16.99 at the online Hillsong music store.
