An acoustic cover of "Point of Difference" by Hillsong United. As far back as I can remember, Hillsong United has kept a solid rotation in my playlist, for so many reasons. Recently, I went on a road trip and the album, "All of the Above" popped up, it took me back to when I first heard it. I appreciated all the work that went into that record all over again, for the main reason that, good vocals and musicianship aside, that special something (or someone) was all over every song. I can't get enough of it. So with that said, here is the first of more Hillsong United songs I will be covering. Hope you are blessed and enjoy what you hear. Feel free to subscribe so you get quick notice of new songs uploaded. Thank you so much for listening :D

Song annotations: "In John 15:19 it says that "you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world." God chose you out of this entire world to fulfill a purpose meant just for you, just you. As this song states "in a world the same, We will be the difference", and it's because of what Jesus completed at the Cross that we can be different. John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Lyrics:
The tide is turning
This is redemption's hour
In the midst of the world lost for love
You are all we have now
The lost returning
Salvation is all around
In the midst of the world broken down
You are all we have now
For You are God and this hope is ours
So Father open the skies
Flood the Earth with your light
This is love, to break a world indifferent
Our hearts are burning
The fire that won't burn out
In the midst of a world that's grown cold
You are all we have now
The earth resounding
The anthem of your renown
As we lift up our eyes
And look to your glory
Call us out let the world see
You are God and this hope is ours
So call us out, let the world see
You are God as we sing
Open the skies
Flood the Earth with your light
This is love to break a world indifferent
As we lift up our eyes
Fill our hearts with your fire
In a world the same we'll be the difference, the difference
So call us out let the world see
You are God and this hope is ours
Our eyes are open
Every chain now broken
In this world we are different
Let your love become us
As we live to make you famous
We're in this world but we are different
So call us out, let the world see
You are God as we sing
Father open the skies
Flood the Earth with your light
This is love to break a world indifferent
As we lift up our eyes
Fill our hearts with your fire
In a world the same we'll be the difference, the difference
So call us out let the world see
You are God one and only
In this world you are all we have now

Dude this awesome. I plan on making a similar type of cover soon. I can't sing it though, hahah. What program do you use?

@czardexter I wish I only had one program to record and post these songs online, lol. I actually use a number of things to get these songs together and online: Taylor 214ce Acoustic-electric Guitar, Stageworks CC12 Studio Microphone, VS 880 Digital Studio Workstation, and an Olympus LS-11 field recorder (to record from the VS 880 and save it to a memory drive that I drag and drop to my pc, which I then can upload anywhere) From what I hear "Sonar" and "Image line FL studio" are good programs.
