United Recap...

Well I have to say that Hillsong United really met the hype of a great worship service.  I had never been to the Verizon Amphitheater before and I have to say I was impressed.  It is very new and the sound was great. Untied did not have an opening act so guys got on stage and just gave away free stuff the whole time(you gotta love free stuff).  Justin and I had tickets that were close to the back but as you can see that is not how we role. Now you might be wondering why I would blog about a worship service but keep reading and you will see.  

The first three songs were Break Free, Take it All and Look to You.  Probably my top three fast songs that they do. The place was packed and there is something about worshiping God outside. You could see the clouds, the sky and a lot of his creation.  I hope all of you get the chance to sing to God with thousands of people.  Some of my favorite times are standing with thousands of people who love Jesus and are there just to sing and worship him for who he is.  It is very powerful and encouraging to see and experience that.  

Then they played a song probably every church plays often which is Mighty to Save.  Our youth group plays this song often and it doesn't seem to get old because the words are so powerful.  I am standing there singing and I look at this girl on her dad's shoulders watching everyone.  She had to be less than 2 years old.  She is watching all these people lift their hands and then she just raises her hands and begins to sing.  I watched her probably the whole song and then she looked at me.  I mean she really looked at me and I looked at her. We were both so serious in this moment.  Then she smiles at me and continues to worship.  It was beautiful...

Many songs later they get to a new song called Dessert Song.  It cracks me up because here we are singing dessert song and it starts pouring down rain.  But what was amazing know one left. Lighting was flashing and thunder was crashing and we are singing to God.  Pretty sweet!!

The last song they played was Tell the World that Jesus lives.  This is defiantly my favorite song. It says this... 

Don't want to stand here and shout your praise, walk away and forget your name 

I stand for you if it's all I do, there is no one that could better you,

All I want in this life time is you,

All I want in this whole world is you, 

Tell the world that Jesus lives 

Tell the world that,

Tell the world that

Tell the world that he died for them, 

Tell the world that he lives again...

After this great night Justin and I went to waffle house at 2:00 in the morning and that is whole other blog...
