The Difference
Hillsong · Other Songs - Hillsong
You have broken the past
And set us apart
You caused the darkness to end
You lifted our heads
To know You again
Lord You bring us to life
In You our hope will arise
We are found
There's nothing that can hold us down
With anything against us
We know Your love will be the difference
Be the difference
You give and take
Still we will go Your way
All our fear is in the distance
We know Your love will be the difference
Be the difference
You defied reason with love
Took the fall meant for us
You alone are enough
Though we were destined to fail
You opened the way
And broke every chain
Lord You bring us to life
In You our hope will arise
We are found
There's nothing that can hold us down
With anything against us
We know Your love will be the difference
Be the difference
You give and take
Still we will go Your way
All our fear is in the distance
We know Your love will be the difference
Be the difference
You awaken our hearts
To You we owe what we are
You're the change in us
The change in us
We know
You awaken our hearts
To You we owe what we are
You're the change in us
The change in us
We know
You awaken our hearts
To You we owe what we are
You're the change in us
The change in us
We know
We are found
There's nothing that can hold us down
With anything against us
We know Your love will be the difference
Be the difference
You give and take
Still we will go Your way
All our fear is in the distance
We know Your love will be the difference
Be the difference
Be the difference
The Difference - Hillsong
Hillsong's "The Difference" serves as a cornerstone of their contemporary worship catalog, reflecting the group's signature blend of acoustic guitar, piano, and soaring vocals. Released during a period of significant growth for the Australian church music collective, the track exemplifies their ability to craft anthems that resonate with both congregational singing and individual reflection. The song's lyrical focus on spiritual transformation aligns with the broader themes found in Hillsong's discography, including tracks like "Amazing Love" and "Jesus You Gave It All." As a staple in their live performances and recorded sets, "The Difference" has become a defining piece of modern Christian music, illustrating the band's influence on the genre and their commitment to creating accessible yet profound worship experiences.
