This Is Our God

This is Our God is the first Hillsong album since 1996 on which Darlene Zschech has not appeared as worship pastor, since Reuben Morgan officially became the new worship pastor of Hillsong in 2008. It also features a greater variety of singers, as the church's most traditional worship leaders are not as heavily featured.

This is the third album released under their new name 'Hillsong Live'. Even though Hillsong has been using the 'Live' logo on their albums since 2006's Mighty To Save as well as listing these albums under 'Hillsong Live' on their website for some time, This Is Our God is the first album to be officially released with 'Hillsong Live' listed as the artist name on the spine of the CD and DVD.

The Majority of the songs were written by Reuben Morgan, Darlene Zschech, Joel Houston, Michael Guglielmucci, Matt Crocker, Brooke Fraser, and Ben Fielding.

On 21 August 2008, the album attracted controversy when a worship leader from Planetshakers, Michael Guglielmucci, admitted that in 2006 he had fabricated a story that he was suffering from cancer[2] when he composed and then performed song "Healer", that appeared on the album. Guglielmucci had performed the song regularly over a two-year period, often with an oxygen tube attached to his nose.[3] Guglielmucci's father, and later Guglielmucci himself, admitted the story had been fabricated to hide a 16-year addiction to pornography.[4][5][6] Representatives of churches with which Guglielmucci had affiliations told the press they were totally unaware of this situation. In an email sent to Hillsong members, the church's general manager, George Aghajanian, said the news was even a shock to Guglielmucci's own family and that the suspended pastor was seeking professional help. Guglielmucci was stripped of all credentials by the Australian Christian Churches, who promised that all money donated by listeners inspired by the song would be returned or donated to charity and Guglielmucci's bank accounts would be audited to determine the amount of funds raised.[7][8][9] The track "Healer" has since then been removed from the track listing in future releases of the album[10] though it has not been removed from the iTunes Store as an individually available track or as part of the album.
