Album taster from Hillsong

Hillsong releases the all-new live album Cornerstone on 3 July, but you can get a taste of the project today with the Cornerstone EP, available now on iTunes and Amazon.

This special digital set features both studio and live versions of the soul-stirring title track and first single “Hope of the World”.

The upcoming album offers fresh, new songs to churches worldwide, with a simple desire to place emphasis on Jesus and a prayer that people everywhere – regardless of circumstance – will be encouraged to find hope in Christ, the Cornerstone.

Songs include the title track “Cornerstone”, new anthem “Beneath The Waters (I Will Rise)”, and upbeat praise, “Running”.

Cornerstone, recorded in Sydney, Australia, includes performances by Reuben Morgan, Darlene Zschech and worship teams from London, Stockholm, and Cape Town.

It features new songs written by Morgan, Hillsong UNITED, and Brooke Fraser among others. Besides digital and CD formats, a DVD featuring 15 tracks will also be available as well as a CD/DVD deluxe edition.
