That's certainly the case with this album. You can write a worship song that fits the criteria when it comes to the corporate setting, but at the end of the day even the songs, for me, that have meant the most to me and have resonated with most people's hearts around the world are the most honest songs that I've had to write and the ones that have been the most painstaking in process. Especially the guys who are writing, in particular me, I wanted to be as honest and transparent as possible. And we talked about that, you know, when it came to writing the songs. I think for worship to be true it's gotta be honest. You know it's very not necessarily… non-worshipful, but there's very much a transparency in the songs.
And we decided to do the opposite and just throw ourselves into it. There's plenty happening and it's easy to sometimes take for granted the opportunity we have. Maybe to just ride on the coattails of what we've been doing for the last ten years or so or do we want to really take this thing forward?" And I think we collectively decided, "you know what? Let's throw ourselves into it like it's the first time we've ever done anything." I think sometimes we lose a lot of momentum and there's a lot going on in our world and at church and so forth. And we had a bit of a soul search and talked to each other and said, "if we're gonna do this, as in United, and keep moving with it, what's it going to look like? And how prepared are we?. We took a whole year off really doing something. So there's a lot going on and I think it kind of came time to work on a United project. And I'm obviously in a place of transition because I'm now moving to New York to help start a Hillsong there. Well, I guess you know we came off a huge season working towards the I Heart Project and the film and so forth, and I think over the last few years a lot of the guys were heavily involved in United and were taking on more responsibilities with the life in the church in Sydney.
