The Power of Your Love


The Power of Your Love is the first live contemporary worship album released by Hillsong Music — the first album in the live praise and worship series of contemporary worship music released by the label.

Production

All of the 16 songs for the album were written and composed by Geoff Bullock, the then Worship Pastor of Hillsong Church. It was recorded live by Bullock, Darlene Zschech, and the Hillsong team.
The cover was designed by a local design firm in Sydney.
The font used for the title is Futura. The front cover is a panograph taken by Christian photographer; Ken Duncan. His panographs are seen on three other Hillsong album covers. There are no photographs of the actual live service in the original CD sleeve design. The updated version shows "what's new from Hillsong Music Australia" and the new Hillsongs logo throughout.

Release

The Power Of Your Love was released in 1992 by Hillsongs Australia. The album was available on CD, Cassette and Music Book.

Reception

In June 1993, Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms rated the album as 7 out of 10 and described the group as willing to "take on the full hard rocking armoury of AOR to shout praises to God". He summarised the album with "What they lack in subtlety they make up for in exuberance... Recommended to radical worshippers".
In 2000, the album was certified gold by Australian Recording Industry Association for shipment of 35,000 units.
