Hillsong UNITED Release New Song And Music Video 'Heaven Knows' From 'The Shack' Official Motion Picture Soundtrack

Hillsong UNITED

Hillsong UNITED released today a new song and music video, "Heaven Knows," their contribution to THE SHACK: MUSIC FROM AND INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE. The song, which appears in the film "The Shack," is now available for streaming and purchase at all DSPs. A companion video for the song is here. THE SHACK: MUSIC FROM AND INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE is set for release on Feb. 24.

"It was such a crazy experience being involved with this whole project," said Joel Houston of Hillsong UNITED. "The book has had phenomenal success around the world, and the production level and actors in the movie is pretty exciting! We had the opportunity to watch a screening of it, and it is inspiring that such a high end movie would be made."

Houston added, "It was an honor to write a song for the soundtrack, something we have actually had little experience in. We hope, as with everything we do, that people take away a portion of the greater message about Jesus!"

Relevant Magazine premiered the video this morning.

 

"Heaven Knows" is the fourth instant grat track available with pre-order of THE SHACK: MUSIC FROM AND INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE, following "Keep Your Eyes On Me" by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, "Stars (The Shack Version)" by Skillet, and "When I Pray For You" by Dan + Shay. The album is available for pre-order here.
