Reuben Morgan is the worship pastor and one of several worship leaders and songwriters alongside Darlene Zschech at the Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia.
He has written songs such as "Eagles Wings", "Hear Our Praises", "I
Give You My Heart", "My Redeemer Lives" and "Mighty to Save", which won
the 'Best Worship Song' category at the 2009 GMA Dove Awards. In 2005 his first solo worship album, World Through Your Eyes, debuted at #3 in the Australian Christian Charts. The album was also released in Canada.
In 2005, Morgan signed with Rocketown Records, owned by Michael W. Smith.
The company released his debut album in the United States, but four of
the original songs were removed in favour of cover versions of Hillsong
songs written by Morgan. In addition, the remaining songs were remixed
and the resulting songs had a heavier feel when compared to the softer adult contemporary-style originals.
Morgan has toured extensively around the United States, Canada and
Europe. A 2007 European tour featuered events in Scotaland, England,
Germany and Sweden. His latest personal album, Everyone,
contains Morgan's interpretation of his music and was mostly written in
the previous 18 months, recorded in a big sounding, studio worship
without the congregational elements found in the Hillsong Live albums. Everyone
largely featured covers of previously released Hillsong songs written
by Morgan and was released in Australia on 2 October 2006.
Morgan officially became Hillsong's new worship pastor in 2008, replacing Darlene Zschech, however, Zschech continues to be apart of the Hillsong Worship Team. He is married to Sarah and they have two children.
