00:00I don't know why God has used a little youth band from a church in the outer suburbs of Sydney,
00:07but for some reason, he's given us this opportunity.
00:12When I started a church, I wanted to have a church that wrote songs
00:15that influenced the way people worship.
00:19There was this underground movement.
00:21We'd do these events, and there'd be thousands turning up.
00:24In the end, our success is not about us.
00:30It's ultimately about God.
00:32When you take Him out of the equation, we've got nothing.
00:37When I walked into Hillsong, I knew my life was different.
00:40I felt this hard shell around my heart just begin to crack open.
00:48I believe that God created music to connect people, the human heart,
00:53our soul, with heaven.
00:59The challenge is on to write a new record.
01:01Taylor's got a song.
01:03Jesus.
01:05All right, so we've got that, Jesus Wu.
01:10For us, these songs are written for people to sing, not just to listen to.
01:17I believe there's life after death for eternity,
01:20and so I want people to come to that journey with us.
01:22Music has always been something that connects me to God straight away,
01:25and I realize, God, who am I to lead these people?
01:31I'm just a country girl.
01:32We're headed into Sony Studios.
01:46I guess this would be 11 albums.
01:48We're the biggest band you've never heard of.
01:51You actually need time to listen, time to breathe,
01:54time to clear out all the noise.
01:56I really want to hear from heaven.
01:57Does everything make sense?
02:18Absolutely not.
02:19But I think more stuff doesn't make sense without him.
