Song Spotlight – Hillsong United – Devotion

An article by Brent Chavez    2 Comments

In 2007 Hillsong United released my favorite worship album of all time, All of the Above. It was their first studio project, and contains some of the most powerful and simple moments of worship I’ve ever heard. I found this acoustic version of the song Devotion, and wanted to share it today!

I’ve been running, trying to be one who sees
I’ve been working, this salvation out on my knees
There is nothing better than knowing
We are redeemed
I’m believing, trusting in creative hands,
I am praying for our world to bow to your plan
And this one thought is unmistakable
To take up my cross and follow You Lord

When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

I’m forgiven by a Savior who did not deserve death
He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness
Undelivered, but it doesn’t seem right
Unless I keep my eyes focues on the Savior who gave His life
In the middle of a world that denies it believes
It is breaking apart at the very seams
There is one thing to be alive for
And it’s to take up my cross and follow You Lord

When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

I will take up my cross and follow Lord where You lead me
And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go

When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans are still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

Fall to my knees
