More Than Life is from the album For All You’ve Done released in July, 2004. This is another great worship song from this magnificent album and concert which I’ve written about often. I like one viewer’s comment about this album ‘This is still Hillsong’s best album‘. For All You’ve Done is indeed a great modern presentation of Christian music that doesn’t seem to grow old. I just presented Hillsong’s Mighty to Save on June 30th this year, so their music has been doing the rounds in these parts.
The problem with researching Christian music is it often difficult to ascertain information. I have no idea why that is. I would have thought above all music, Christian music would have been the most transparent. For example, who wrote this song and how was it developed etc. On the Wikipedia page of this song it just says ‘Morgan’ wrote it. Who is Morgan? Is that Reuben Morgan who I wrote about in my previous article?
Stand by everything You said
Stand by the promises we made
Let go of everything I ‘ve done
I’ll run into Your open arms
And all I know
Chorus:
I love You more than life
I love You more than life
Fall back on everything You’ve done
Fall back on everlasting arms
When all the world is swept away
You are all the things I need
You’re the air I breathe
How can it be
You were the one on the cross
Lifted for all our shame?
How can it be
The scars in Your hands are for me?
You are the king of all
Crosswalk wrote: Each year since 1992, Hillsong Christian Church in Sydney, Australia—under the direction of Darlene Zschech—releases a live worship album of the newest, original songs written for the church. Each of those albums has achieved gold (some even platinum!) status in sales worldwide.
Recorded in the Spring of 2004 at The Sydney Entertainment Centre with a 500-voice choir and a house packed with worshipers, For All You’ve Done captures again the unique talent and spirit of this church. This 2-CD set is a bold, celebrative cacophony of sound, ripe with lyrics that will infuse your life with praise and gratitude to God. There’s not a soul on earth that doesn’t need more of that. If live worship is your thing, let your fingers do the walking…
