Okay, I am a BIG fan of their songs! Their songs keep me going. Some of my perceptions were based on their songs which makes them a big part of my life. That's why when I heard that they're having a concert here in the Philippines, I contact everyone whom I know would also love to be there especially my orgmates which were my family in God. We bought tickets online via credit card and agreed to pay at the said event. We got a lowerbox seat at Php 1600. Not bad, for me atleast haha. I thought its worth it :D
As the day is nearing, I thought I'd grow more excited each time, instead I didn't feel anything. I even forgot what day is the concert happening haha. I got too occupied with academics and organizing org events and papers. Then the day before the concert.. BOOM. that's when it hit me, that the concert's happening tomorow! haha. And then I was so flustered because papers and presentations are in due for our thesis that week. I'm assigned as a project head in our org's CommDev that will be happening on the same week. Also its the campaign period for the next Student Councils, college-based and univ-wide, everyone's so busy. I almost backed-out of the concert with all this deadlines, just like some of our orgmates. My classes ends at 8pm and the cncert starts at 8pm. GREAT. There's too many constraints. But then I told myself "Man, I need a break." So yeah, I pushed through the concert.
I went to Mall of Asia Arena straight right after my classes. By the time I got in, It was already starting! It was a bliss. Seeing the ocean of people opening up to God's love and praising him with all their heart, raising their hands.
There's this part in the song where it goes "Shine our light and let the whole world see, We're singing for the glory of the risen King.. Jesus!" then as the song progresses, people began lighting their phones and waving it in sync with the song! It was magical :) They sang all my fave songs such as the Mighty to Save, Oceans, and of course Broken Vessels. I felt closer to God than ever before. It brought out the depth of my faith. I felt closer to God. I felt His unconditional love. It felt like a celebration of us, His children, uniting with God. I just wished it would last longer Its like time stopped and before I know it, it was over.
We were all left hanging that the crowd demanded for more and then we were surprised when they got back on the stage and the unexpected happen, they sang another song, a classic song which is.. ONE WAY! Yeah, it's a really old song but still! The feels is just as it is as it was newly released. The crowd got crazy, jumping up and down, savoring our last moments with Hillsong haha.
What made it more special is my company with these amazing people. In ordinary days, they are the people who God made as an instrument to make me feel His love and see Him in them. It felt special.
I thank for these people whom have become my role models and symbols of God, if that made sense haha. They're my family.
Rate 10/10
It just felt like a paradise :) everything went smooth and great. It could be one of my happiest days in my whole life haha.
