Highlands (Song of Ascent)

by Hillsong UNITED

Theology & Meaning

Built on the truth of Psalm 139: no matter where we go - heights or depths - God is there. It affirms that God does not change with our circumstances; He is constant and faithful. Encourages perseverance and constant worship in every season.

Worship Leadership Tips

Due to its dynamic range, plan this as a journey within your set - it begins reflective and builds to a passionate declaration. Excellent after a testimony or sermon about God's faithfulness through hardship.

Arrangement Tips

Be mindful of the word-dense verses; articulate clearly so people catch the poetic depth. End the song softly or even a cappella to allow the profound lyrics to linger in hearts.
