27 videos • 5,181,344 views • by Hillsong UNITED In 2016, we released ‘Of Dirt and Grace,’ a re-imagination of the 12 songs from our album EMPIRES, plus a few bonus tracks recorded LIVE and on location in Israel – from Jerusalem up to Tiberius around the Sea of Galilee. The essence and inspiration of the album Empires were the beatitudes, and it was always an aspiration to film where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount - and to present the songs in a live format. The wildest aspect of the experience was that we hadn't pre-arranged any of the songs. We would literally turn up to a spot, and while our incredible technical team was scrambling to lay cables, set up mics and generators, and the recording equipment, we would be figuring out how we would play the songs. It was as raw and organic as the landscape around us, and the amazing thing was the pressure of it all somehow took all the striving out of it – we just played and let the moment, the spirit, and the landscape take over. With breathtaking imagery and impacting visuals and audio, this live project is one of our most unique and holds a special place in our hearts.
