When an exceptional music outfit has been around as long as the guys at Hillsong have been, you know their ‘Very Best’ of is going to be special.

Get ready for some seriously good worship time with “The Very Best of Hillsong Live”, which pulls together seventeen classics, including “Shout to the Lord”, sung in churches worldwide and even on the American Idol stage.

Other Hillsong gems on the album are the anthemic “Mighty to Save” and “Salvation is Here”, “My Redeemer Lives”, “Worthy is the Lamb”, “Take It All”, and “The Potter’s Hand”.

Yup, it’s all here. Great worship songs, God-centred worship leaders, and the sounds of a crowd giving Him their all.

Yes we’ve heard them all before, but this is still a great album that sums up what Hillsong is all about – worship, pure and simple.

This would make a great gift to a friend who’s new to the faith and wanting to know what worship today is all about.

I give it 4.5 out of 5.
