If You’ve Sung ‘Gratitude,’ You Know Benjamin William Hastings
If you’ve sung Gratitude in church, you’ve already been singing Benjamin William Hastings’ words for years. The Northern Irish-born singer-songwriter has quietly become one of worship music’s most compelling voices—co-writing anthems like Cory Asbury’s The Father’s House, and Hillsong Worship’s O Praise The Name (Anástasis). But now, it’s time for him to share his own story in full. Raised on the streets of Belfast, Hastings busked as a teenager before moving to Sydney in his early twenties to pursue a deeper calling in worship ministry. It was there he connected with the Hillsong United community—friends of his wife, Jessa—and quickly made his mark as both a worship leader and songwriter. He contributed lead vocals on…

God Really Loves You
God really loves you. He doesn’t, some days, love you… He doesn’t love you only after you nobly bought a home-baked meal to a cancer patient. He doesn’t only love you when you went out of your way to carry an old lady’s grocery bags to her car. He doesn’t only love you when you had a beautiful, candle-lit moment with God and then kept worship songs on during the day. He loves you. He loves you on your good days. He loves you on your bad days. He loves you when you are at your best. He loves you at your worst. “For I am convinced that neither death…

“I Love You, Lord” Gets a New Life with the Original Songwriter’s Approval
“I was a little bit nervous… I really hope the original writer likes what I did… and so I just kind of sat nervously by the phone for about a week or so. And when I finally got that answer that it was approved—oh my goodness—I had so much joy.” Tori Harper lives, breathes, and, if you ask her, prays worship songs into existence. “There was this random extra closet in the hallway of our house,” she remembers. “And I just knew that that was my place to get away with the Lord.” It became her literal prayer closet—walls covered with Scripture taped up with washi tape, a CD player…
