GREATER - by Sean K. 

September 3, 2022 the day when the Plannetshakers are finally here. It was a cool day in Seoul, Korea. I was excited about this day that one of my favorite worship bands was performing in Sarang Church. I went with my praise team group in church including another ICSU student John Yoon.  

 

Planetshakers are from Adelaide, Australia. They are the band that wrote “Nothing is Impossible”. Planetshakers started their Asia tour recently this year. Recently they released their new album called “Greater.” The song “Greater” is about how God is greater than everything, and how he is the only God that nobody is like who he is. 

 

Before the concert started, I interviewed a few people in my praise team about the concert.

Leader of the praise team Eun-Chong Park, said she has a lot of interest in English worship songs. 

 

“I went to a Hillsong performance in 2019. I am excited about how the Planetshakers have prepared their sessions for their performance.” said Ms. Park

 

“I loved the new album that was released yesterday, so I am excited about them performing their new songs.” 

 

Ms. Park continued, “I wish that I am able to see more worship bands performing here in Korea, such as Elevation Worship, Maverick City, etc."

 

A guitar player from my praise team Joseph Chan-Jong Kim was also excited. 

 

“I enjoyed the people here and I enjoyed having the opportunity to jump with joy to worship.” said Chan-Jong,

 

“I mostly came here to enjoy the concert, but I was also hyped seeing the atmosphere of people singing and dancing to worship the Lord with full of joy.”

 

During the concert, it reminded me of when I went to America on a mission trip where people had their own freedom to worship the Lord. I mostly came to enjoy the concert, but as the concert went on I realized that I was also there to worship God together with the Planetshakers. 

 

Songs that I’ve loved for the concert is I know you can, Greater, and Move in Power.
