Hillsong Worship - Look To The Son - Christian Music Videos

Walt Wittman is credited with saying, “Keep your face always toward the sun, and the shadows will fall behind you.”

Christians can make that a play on words, like Hillsong Worships song, Look to the Son. The song is the third track on their live album, Let There Be Light. 

The song represents a parallel for many Christians between the sun in the sky and the Son of God. Anyone who steps outside on a bright sunny day knows that facing the sun puts physical shadows behind them. Christians could say that facing the SON puts mental and spiritual shadows behind them. 

The Son that Hillsong refers to in this song is obviously Jesus, the Son of God. 

The video takes place live on the stage at Qudos Bank Arena (formerly Sydney SuperDome) in Australia, where the band originated. The arena has a total seating capacity of around 18,200, and by the looks of it, it is a packed house. 

The video is upbeat and high energy, with twinkling lights all around letting you feel as if you are seated right there at the concert. The stage is in the center of the arena during the video allowing everyone to see and allowing the singers and band members to interact with everyone in attendance. 

The video bounces around from band members to people in the crowd with smiles and hands up in worship. 

The male singer Jonathon Douglass has a big smile and looks comfortable in his jean jacket. He walks the stage carrying the energy with him. At one point he even jumps up in excitement. He gets the crowd involved in clapping and you can hear them collectively singing and lifting up the lyrics.

The female singer, Taya Smith-Gaukrodger, has a very pretty soprano voice which compliments the song's angelic vibe. 

The lyrics in this song are uplifting and joy-inducing. The second verse talks about the physical shadows of life fading into nothing when we look to the Son.

The song finishes out by saying, “No darkness in His endless light.” All of this points to how looking to the Son can help turn our darkest moments to light and bring happiness by focusing on Him instead of our problems. 

Psalms 84:11 says, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield.”
