Closer Than You Know – of Dirt and Grace – Hillsong UNITED

The last song on the album and the last song we recorded - the whole trip Joel wanted to get this song under an Olive tree - like the in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus would have prayed.... For US! Text UNITED to +1 (855) 745-0294 for updates on releases, tours, merchandise and more. (Only available in US, CA, AU, UK). We were exhausted but our team had found the perfect location - the third location of the day - we set up the full record system and went for it - what we got we feel is a little bit of magic - and hopefully it captures what Jesus may have thought about us - in his last moments. The whole experience in Israel was surreal and even the thought of Jesus thinking of us as he lived his last moments is confronting.
