NASHVILLE, Tenn., September 10, 2013 -- Hillsong UNITED has had an impactful year with the release of ZION, which topped the iTunes overall album chart, debuted at No. 4 on Billboard 200 with their highest Billboard debut and at No. 1 on the ARIA Australian chart. ZION has resonated with fans around the world. Today fans can get the Oceans EP, which is being released due to the overwhelming response to the song "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" from ZION. "Oceans" was written by Matt Crocker, Joel Houston and Salomon Ligthelm.

The EP features the original version of the song, a radio version, a live version recorded at the monumental Red Rocks in Denver during UNITED's sold out show, a remix version and an acoustic video that includes UNITED's Joel Houston talking about the heart behind this iconic song.
