This Is How We Overcome

Hillsong · Other Songs - Hillsong

Your light broke through my night

Restored exceeding joy

Your grace fell like the rain

And made this desert live

You have turned my mourning into dancing

You have turned my sorrow into joy

Your hand lifted me up

I stand on higher ground

Your praise rose in my heart

And made this valley sing

You have turned my mourning into dancing

You have turned my sorrow into joy

You have turned my mourning into dancing

You have turned my sorrow into joy

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

This is how we overcome

You have turned my mourning into dancing

You have turned my sorrow into joy

You have turned my mourning into dancing

You have turned my sorrow into joy

This Is How We Overcome

Hillsong's 'This Is How We Overcome' stands as a defining anthem of the contemporary Christian worship movement, blending emotive vocal harmonies with driving, rhythmic instrumentation. Released by the Australian church-based collective, the track exemplifies the genre's shift toward high-energy, rock-infused praise that empowers congregational participation. The song's lyrical focus on resilience and divine strength has made it a staple in global worship sets, often paired with other Hillsong classics like 'I Give You My Heart' or 'Amazing Love' to create cohesive sets of spiritual encouragement. Its production style reflects the broader trend of modern worship music, prioritizing dynamic soundscapes and communal singing over traditional acoustic arrangements. As a key component of Hillsong's discography, the recording has been widely adopted in churches worldwide, serving as a sonic representation of overcoming adversity through faith.
