Hillsong United: Best Songs

Album: Across the Earth: Tear Down the Walls (2009) If “Oceans” is the quiet storm, “With Everything” is the roar of a revival. Opening with a relentless, driving beat, this song captures the urgency of worship. The bridge—“We will shine like stars in the universe”—is a call to mission. It remains a setlist staple for any high-energy worship moment.

Album: All of the Above (2007) Before “Oceans,” there was “Hosanna.” This song perfectly blends prophetic longing (“I see a generation rising up to take their place”) with a personal plea for cleansing (“Heal my heart and make it clean”). Its simple, singable melody has made it a church staple for nearly two decades.

Album: United We Stand (2006) A modern classic that focuses on inner transformation rather than external expression. The lyric “A thousand times I’ve failed, still Your mercy remains” resonates deeply. It strips back the performance of worship and offers a raw, honest confession of dependence on God’s grace.

From the depths of “Oceans” to the heights of “Touch the Sky,” these are the songs that will make you believe, worship, and sing a little louder.

Album: Are We There Yet? (Live, 2022) Representing their newer season, “Know You Will” has quickly become an essential declaration of hope. In a post-pandemic world, this song’s simple, confident refrain—“I don’t know how, but I know You will”—has become an anchor for the anxious, proving United hasn’t lost their prophetic edge.
