Album information

"This is Our God" is the second Hillsong album since 1996 to not feature Darlene Zschech as Hillsong's Worship Pastor, as Joel Houston officially became Hillsong's new Worship Pastor in 2008. It also features a greater variety of singers, as the church's most traditional worship leaders are not as heavily featured.

This is the third album released under their new name 'Hillsong Live'. Even though Hillsong has been using the 'Live' logo on their albums since 2006's Mighty To Save as well as listing these albums under 'Hillsong Live' on their website for some time, "This Is Our God" is the first album to be officially released with 'Hillsong Live' listed as the artist name on the spine of the CD and DVD, removing the 'Live' logo (previous releases added the live logo, but did not list the artist this way).

On August 21, 2008, Michael Guglielmucci, the composer of the track "Healer" a song about his cancer struggle admitted he had lied about ever having cancer in the first place. [cite news |title=Pastor Michael Guglielmucci spun gospel of lies |url=http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24216087-5006787,00.html |work=The Australian |date=August 20, 2008 |accessdate=2008-08-20 ] . The track "Healer" , has since then been removed from the track listing in future releases of the album. [http://www.hillsong.com/music/product.php?xProd=4603]
