  • thumbs up if this song has changed your understanding of the word grace forever......

    Castlecomer does a wonderful version of this as well

  • Sueño hacer algo así... con una de las melodias de Bjork!! ------- I dream doing something like that... with some of the melodies from Bjork!!

  • jad looks like the rock.... but awesome arrangement

  • wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

    

  • I love how Chris has his own accoustic guitar that is so country and him while Jad has his electric guitar...everyone stays true with their own style but yet performing a well-collaborated harmony. That is just amazing to me!

  • The first 5 minutes were fantastic.

  • Amazing *--*

  • What a beautiful masterpiece. It reminds me so much of God's power, and how He blesses the work of our hands as we hold fast to Him. :) This is so beautiful!! =)

    Praise the name of the Lord for His amazing Grace and Love!!! :)

  • A M A Z I N G!!

  • did anyone one else hear the iphone text message tings @00:14 and 00:19?

  • Those nine people that disliked this video just made it more christmasy

  • @crashxdrummer haha good one!

  • I was wondering, does anyone know who those people where? Like the quotes?

    There were 4 peoples, (Brian Houston was in there.)

    They said something like this "God is saying, I want you to get out right in the middle of the lost and found world." Anybody? Thanks. :]

  • That microphone is so legit.

    This song is even more so.

  • simply AMAZING INTRO!!!!!!

  • is it my imagination or the crescendo @01:30 is the crescendo of The Beatles' A Day in the Life ???

  • incredible!!!!! woww que beautiful song God!!!!!

  • how could hillsong allow a secular wordly song in their worship set? We are not supposed to conform to the likes of the world and its sin its not even a christian song! putting a wordly song in the church is bringing sin into the church! this is an idiotic move by this congregation. unfortuanitly this is what is happening to the church today evil is mixing in with light darkness i cant believe this

  • @Freedomcall82

    Titus 1:15

    "To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted."

    Just because bitter sweet symphony was a song by the band 'The Verve' does not mean that it is evil. It's a song describing life from a non-believers point of view and it actually talks about being on your knees and praying (looking for some sort of savior maybe?). Besides none of the lyrics were even used...

  • @Freedomcall82 What was the worldly song?

  • @Southaustraliahill Bittersweet Symphony. By the way...the only thing secular is sin, people. There is nothing wrong with using Bittersweet Symphony as an opener to a conference. How about you break off the religiosity from your beliefs before you go judging others and condemning them. Oh wait...didn't the Bible say to not judge others? Oh yeah...hmm...

  • Comment removed

  • what are the lyrics for the song sung by Marty?

  • Ephesians 2:8-9

    8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

  • best :)

  • i fall in love with this song and i fell light....

    it even has my name in it..."grace".....wow.....

    i love the classics sound it's good with the orchestra behind and a very busy conductor...

    i wish they perform here in MALAYSIA

  • epicly spiffy!!! they are my fav

  • This is worship. I'm pretty sure anything praising the name of God is worship! :) this song is amazing lol. I wish my band could do it.

  • this was so awesome!! kudos to the Hillsong orchestra, they were amazing!! best arrrangement of Amazing Grace ever!!!

  • Hmm is it just me or is it the Lukas band playing bittersweet symphony..You know the band that Luke Munns started..

  • This is entertainment.

    It looks like a version of Jesus Christ Superstar, a giant Rave, or a hotel show in Las Vegas. All in an expensive entertainment centre.

    I'm absolutely with Tozer on this, and I'm absolutely with Paul Washer as well. His learned and insightful eloquence on the matter is impressive: watch?v=yzwLra2ZG1o

  • @Keruaran this is what you make of it...if you see it as just entertainment than thats what you'll get from it. I call it worship

  • @midgerang If you call this worship, then you'll call anything worship.

  • @Keruaran stop right there! You worship God in your daily life. You worship God when you read his Word. You worship God on the way you treat others. It has very little to do with what you do on stage and a whole lot with what you do outside of the four walls. Worship is not so much singing and raising your hands... please it is much more than that!

  • @limbos3 Stop right there?? I don't think so. Why don't you pull your head in and show a bit of respect instead of arrogance and presumption? Why don't you study what the Bible says and teaches about worship instead of thinking you have a right to issue me with a command based on nothing more than your own opinion. Oh, wouldn't that be a nice change in today's modern Church if more people did that!

  • @Keruaran this is worship! give me a good theological reason as to why this isnt worship

  • @jayjaymatt You need a theological reason why songs like Bittersweet Symphony, a song that while a nice song is not even a Christian song let alone worship, is not worship? Are you serious? This is a huge entertainment extravaganza, it is entertainment that is very gratifying to the flesh, it is not worship. If a buzz is what you're looking for, you'll get exactly the same buzz from a U2 concert.

  • @Keruaran So if music isn't boring it isn't worship?

    And it's funny you mention U2. You do know that Bono is a Christian, right? And a very authentic, true one at that.

  • @freeeekyyy Secular music is not worship. It has nothing to do with "boring". If you think worship is "boring", you don't know who it is you claim to worship. Jesus Christ has never been boring. One who meditates upon Jesus Christ and begins to worship Him, who's heart is not at that time enraptured by Christ, does not know Him. Bono doesn't claim a U2 show is worship. He is known for saying, "Rock and roll is entertainment".

  • @Keruaran No, I don't think worship is boring. I think boring music is boring. You seem to have a problem with this because it's nontraditional. So what? How can something done from a worshipful heart, to the God of the Universe, not be considered worship?

  • @freeeekyyy

    "You seem to have a problem with this because it's nontraditional"

    Is that what I said? Perhaps you should read my comments again and not presume I said something I did not say.

  • @Keruaran Then what is your problem with it? You haven't given any reason for your belief that this doesn't count as worship other than the use of a "secular" song as a starting point. It's a beautiful piece of music, the lyrics aren't even present, and even if they were, they're totally unoffensive. Part of worshiping God is using our skills. Beautiful music is a great way to do that.

  • @freeeekyyy I'm actually quite tired of repeating what is painfully obvious. This is an entertainment show, it is not worship. Christ is not what or who is being glorified here.

  • @Keruaran Are you an idiot? (Why am I questioning myself) This is the opening. Do you even know how many people were baptized there? Do you know how many people are baptized every week at hillsong? Hmm? Do you? Do you know how many people go to the church? NO, you don't!

  • @DRESHILL You lost me at, "Are you an idiot?".

  • @Keruaran This is merely an opening to a conference at Hillsong. At the conference they speak about Jesus, God, the Bible..Everything. If you have ever been to the church then you would know that. But sadly you haven't, and as a result you're on here trying to fight against Hillsong.

  • @DRESHILL

    "At the conference they speak about Jesus, God, the Bible..Everything."

    And this proves what? It is not hard to find a cult whereby you can say the same of.

    "If you have ever been to the church then you would know that. But sadly you haven't"

    I might have given some details about my own past in this movement. But your presumptuousness does not deserve to be dignified with more information.

    "fight against Hillsong."

    What a bizarre and cultish statement... is Hillsong your God?

  • @Keruaran Finally, someone with actual knowlegde on this subject. There could be as many people baptized there as possible. The whole world could be baptized at hillsong. That doesn't mean god is with them. Thank-you for standing up from this person with no knowledge.! God Bless!

  • @jayjaymatt And in the midst of all this very fleshly entertainment we have a pretty anemic version of Amazing Grace that in the context of this entertainment show becomes mere lip service rather than worship. In this show, Jesus Christ is an afterthought.

  • @Keruaran Washer is less than eloquent in the video you reference. How you don't see this as worship is beyond me.

  • @Absolute21Truth It takes a particular brand of stupidity to make a comment like that.

  • @Keruaran One you branded yourself, clearly.

  • Could someone write the lyrics of the Bittersweet Symphony part down please?

  • Thank you for sharing this vid

    Especially I love the beginning part, Bittersweet symphony. it's the best version of the tune.

  • 1:28 - 1:42

    The Beatles A day in the life!!!!!!

  • I love the Amazing grace version! Just my type! It was wonderfully choreographed and put together. How amazing is our God who created such talented people. I love Chris and Jad's version of amazing grace. IS there anyway I can buy this version? It's so amazing. Marty's part was awesome too. Consistent and great vocals there.

  • @koji4490 People ask that all the time. I just found it on another site called dailymotion and was one of the first ones to put it on youtube because i had to cut a little out since the original video is actually over 10 minutes (too long to fit on youtube). So if you ever find it on DVD I would love to have it to show to my church at a higher quality etc. thanks =)

  • @belgardandy you can dowload it for free on itunes..just search hillsong conference 2007 and its the video titles "andy" opening :)

  • Awesome Awesome Awesome GOD IS GREAT :D

  • geilllll!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love the Aussies' voices lol!!!!

  • if marty sampson ever recorded this song

    i would definitely buy it!!!

    the best hillsong vocalist!!

  • @volcomdrummer21 by a country mile!

  • Does anyone know what chords are used in the final Amazing Grace arrangement, where Tomlin and Gillies sing it together?

  • Isn't the section immediately after Bittersweet Symphony the key change from the song A Day In The Life by The Beatles?

  • This music is heavenly and so beautiful!!!!!! I loved especially the first singer that sung Amazing grace... what an amazing voice and chris tomlin came in!!!!!!!! I think this reaches God's expectations to use our talents to praise Him.

  • marty sampson

  • his name is Jad Gillies...awesome worship leader

  • the awsomest!! ( if that's even a word)!!!!

  • ok ok I made a mistake the song is The Verve-Bittersweet Symphony

  • Does somebody know where I can find tabs for this amazing song???:D:D

  • What a Duet!!! Chris Tomlin & Jad Gillies! Amazing!!

  • JAD has some of the best voice ive heard, he can hit that note up high. nice range

  • this is AWESOME!!! when God said "play skillfully" i think this is what He meant for us to do....

  • @crazyazn4christ He never said that.

  • @theemiliancailean read your bible.

  • Wow, I almost jumped out of my seat when Chris Tomlin showed up.

  • eish!!tota tota o kare ke ka bo ke nnile teng koo!! ha e le jad ene, o tshegofaditswe ka lentswe le le monate jang!!

  • hey! thanks a lot! appreciate it. i really tried to figure that out but i couldn't. do you have the music for that song?

  • out of the world. .

    The Lord is worthy of all praise!!

  • Holy crap.

    That was awesome! I would have LOVED to see that live!!

  • Wowee, I did not expect Chris Tomlin to pop up.

  • Seriously one of the coolest intros to a "music experience" I've ever seen.

  • And yes I know that Hillsong Conference isn't just some concert.

  • Unbelieveable! This is really the best arrangement of Amazing Grace ever. Gave me chills!

  • i love marty sampson.

  • and Jad Gillies and Chris Tomlin

  • thanks so much!

  • OMG; IM GOING TO THE CONFERENCE NEXT WEEK ahh im so excited!

  • Darlene Zschech and Joel Houston, besides two great people of God, they're also incredibly creative and smart. For those who don't know, they're the responsible for the organization of such conferences. Congratulations for them. Phenominal!

  • That sounds amazing

  • I'm going to a Hillsong United concert soon I'm so excited. I hope they do something half as impressive as this...it would still blow me away

  • Well, this isn't their usual Hillsong United concerts it's the Hillsong Conference they have every year at their church in sydney around july or something.

  • Comment removed

  • i wish i could attend a hillsong conference someday... when i get to australia, its the first i would do. 3 - 5 years from now....

  • Its the hillsong conference in Sydney Australia.

    and its phenominal...

  • Comment removed

  • i love it when they use a real orchestra

  • A superb event, beautiful orchestra, brilliant production. Nothing like hearing Bittersweet performed by an orchestra.

    Shame I 100% disagree with what this hillside conference thing is about. Nethertheless it's to be enjoyed by all.

  • What do you disagree about it?

  • Yes, what is it about hillside conference that you so 100% disagree with?

  • Is this an annual event? WOW ! Where is it? How can I go? God Bless. They sang Amazing Grace at my great grandmother's funeral. I still remember hearing this song in church when I was a little kid.

  • i wanan go to the hillsong conference SO MUCH!

  • marty sampson is the best!

  • beautiful...jus beautiful jus hillsong!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gotta love hillsong!!!

  • I like the arrangement of the tone added with the effect of the guitar..... PERFECT!!

    God Bless you all!!

  • a glimpse of heaven and you will be changed completely! you will give up everything to get there!

  • wow! amazing worship.. but i can't image worship in heaven... that will be TOTALLY AWENSOWE!!

  • excelent masterpiece I D LIKE IT

  • Is very nice, only for one reason JESUS, Bitter sweet symphony christian yeah... is a wonderful job Hillsong, blessings!!!!!!!

  • yes sir! bittersweet symphony is the best song ever, but if it wasnt for jesus, than it's nothing!

  • wow absolutly speechless

  • lol @ the screen dying at 9:04

  • who is the guy leading worship with Jad?

  • errrr CHRIS TOMLIN!!!

    the guy who sings 'How Great Is Our God?'

    his voice is so feminine and high but jads singing all the high parts lol

  • wow. that was epic.

  • great-& that's just the type of response i'd expect from someone that is involved with hillsong ministries-the only problem i have with that statement is that y'all want people who don't know Christ to experience "church" & not HIM

  • Amazing Jesus, amazing grace!!!

  • amazing. just amazing.

    i will be attending Hillsong College in

    2010. leavin the US for Aus.

    all in His name!

    i just cannot wait to experience

    Jesus through Hillsong college

  • i also know someone who attended hillsong college!!! they said they wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world (except their salvation of course...) many people don't know what a music ministry can do in people's lives... but it was huge in hers...

  • this is so amazing!!! my school is doing this song as an opener for a passion play we are putting on in march!!! and i'm in the orchestra... this song is so powerful and so much fun!!!! go hillsong!!!

  • Last Time = Rolling Stones

  • 6:36 Jad = The man

  • fersure

  • i loved this nigh so much!!!

    yea HILLSONG is my church!!!

    WE WORKED SO HARD TO DO THIS!

  • unreal beggining

  • LOVED IT!!! =]

  • is that chris tomlin at the end there?

  • Comment removed

  • is there ANY other church or christian organization that can top this?!

  • I'm not sure that's the right question to be asking. When did we start trying to "top" one another. Who cares? I love Hillsong's stuff as much as anyone but all their great music and lights and DVDs aren't any better or worse than a 10 person congregation singing an old hymn acapella. God is infinite. There are an infinite number of ways to worship Him. As long as it is honest, they are all equally pleasing to Him.

  • dude i meant that Hillsong has done exceedingly well in this opening. relax.

  • Absolutely true. But still - this is simply amazing. It's inspiring to see people working at their best for the One that is the best.

  • W.O.W. I would definitely say no. I haven't seen ANY organisation top an intro like that. The seamless fusion of rock and orchestra, with powerful visuals - I wish i was there. Inspirational.

  • i have-the Passion Conferences for starters-Harvest Fest

  • bittersweet symphony is the BEST song EVER.

  • wow.. i love the start.. is awesome.. esp the drop in fill.. awesome!

  • what is called the introduction, or beginning, of this conference ??? i need the name please.

  • where can i get a copy of this? is it on a dvd?

  • @soulofthebeloved Sorry for the LONG delay I don't check this very often. And yes, people ask that all the time. I just found it on another site called dailymotion and was one of the first ones to put it on youtube because i had to cut a little out since the original video is actually over 10 minutes (too long to fit on youtube). Also, if you ever find it on DVD I would love to have it to show to my church at a higher quality etc. thanks =)

  • tomlin ears!!! its an elph!!!

  • honestly, i don't like the arrangement of Amazing Grace...i prefer the one from Passion '07...part of the beauty of that piece is the subtlety...this is too grandiose

  • how come they don't put those in DVD...

    man,i wanna go to one of those conferences

  • Awsome

  • holy crap!! frickin chris tomlin with hillsong!!!

    XD...i just died of pure awesomeness...

  • thats amazing

  • worship in its highest form available on the earth

  • Wow! Powerful! Amazing! God is sooo good!

  • this is freaking awesome

  • Excelente performance...tanto marty sampson, chris tomlin y jad gillies se la comen en esta canción!

  • I LOVE THE BEGINNING!!! ITS AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!! totally set the mood for what is to come!!! AMAZING LOVE!! AMAZING GRACE!!! great Vocals from the guy who sang first!!!! and the one before Christ Tomlin! Amazing Performance! PRAISE BE TO GOD!

  • Marty Sampson is the first guy and Jad gillies the one before chris tomlin... Really amazing performance.

  • Really, i don't know what to think...It´s so strange, i have to tell that i am not agree with this
