 With more than 11 million albums sold worldwide, Hillsong LIVE returns with 12 new songs for its 19th recording, A Beautiful Exchange, set to release June 29 on Sparrow Records. The project was recorded live with thousands of worshippers gathered together in the Sydney Entertainment Centre and led by worship leaders Reuben Morgan, Joel Houston, Darlene Zschech and Jad Gillies, among others.
Each year Hillsong records songs from its worship community around the world that have resonated with the church throughout the year. Featuring these songs organically crafted in the creative environment at Hillsong Church, Hillsong LIVE’s A Beautiful Exchange includes “Forever Reign,” the first radio single to be released from the album. “Forever Reign” is a message of hope written by Hillsong LIVE’s Reuben Morgan along with Jason Ingram.
“So often I feel like I come to God, and I’ve got nothing,” says Morgan, “but when I feel like there is no good in me, no joy in me, no peace – He is peace, He is joy, He is our salvation. I love that confession. I love singing the chorus of this song with both hands raised: Running to Your arms, the riches of Your love will always be enough. It’s been humbling to see how the church has taken ahold of this song.”
In addition to the confession of “Forever Reign,” A Beautiful Exchange explores themes of sacrifice and redemption in the title track, extraordinary love in “Our God Is Love,” and features songs of hope, reconciliation and praise.
“The church didn’t want to stop singing, everyone was worshipping with all their hearts,” says Autumn Hardman, Hillsong LIVE Music Director, about the night A Beautiful Exchange was recorded. “Every song carried a sense of freshness right from the start, and even in the studio sessions weeks out, we could feel the excitement about this year’s recording. Everyone brought their ideas, keyboard sounds, guitar lines, drum grooves, and stayed late into the night many nights working out the songs and arrangements.”
The full A Beautiful Exchange CD track and songwriter list includes:
“Our God Is Love” (Joel Houston, Scott Ligertwood)
“Open My Eyes” (Reuben Morgan, Braden Lang)
“Forever Reign” (Reuben Morgan, Jason Ingram)
“The One Who Saves” (Ben Fielding)

“Greatness Of Our God” (Reuben Morgan, Jason Ingram, Stu Garrard)

These same 12 songs are also featured on a DVD and Blu-ray, along with a “Behind The Scenes” documentary and subtitles in 11 languages. The Special Edition DVD/Blu-ray further features five bonus recordings from Hillsong London: “The Answer,” “God Our Salvation,” “For All You Are/You Are Good,” “All Things New” and “Glorious One/To Bring You Glory.”
