Hillsong UNITED's brand new album "Empires" was a runaway success. The album lodged in at Billboard 200 at #5 and it was also their second Australia ARIA #1 Album. Now, in gratitude for fans who came out to purchase the album, they have released a new lyrics video "Here Now (Madness.)." Featuring Joel Houston on lead vocals, Hoston sings: "Your ways are higher, your thoughts are wilder / Love came like madness, poured out in blood - wash romance / It makes no sense but this is grace, and I know You're with me in this place."

As previously described by Houston, the entire Empires album is a testimony of the "unseen aspects of God's Kingdom." "We are in this world and also we're of a different world as well, so [Empires] plays on that sense of duality that exists," explained the singer in an interview with The Christian Post last month. "It applies to everything - I'm in New York and I look at the buildings, I look at everything in front of me, every single person walking the street, at the thousands of people in [the] city, [and] they are physical bodies and spiritual bodies - two things going on at once."

Houston, who leads Hillsong Church NYC alongside Carl Lentz, added that the new album from the church's worship band encourages listeners to look beyond this world to the kingdom of God.

"The city is made of earthly success, affluence, and endeavor, and at the same time, what God is establishing beyond the buildings is an eternal kingdom - that is really interesting to me," said the son of Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston.

"[Empires] helps us to understand our calling and what we are living for. We are immersed in the culture that we are in, but what we should be building, speaking, and living for is the unseen aspects of God's kingdom, that's the whole message of this record."
