A native of Sydney, Australia, GeoffBullock is father to seven children; five of whom are his own and two whom he counts as "the most wonderful wedding presents." Bullock first started writing worship songs when he became music pastor at what now has become Hillsong Australia.
Although a fan of the Beatles for their ingenuity and cultural relevance, and of Billy Joel for his narrative lyrics, Bullock's music is mostly inspired by classical melodies and hymns he remembers singing as a schoolboy.
In his early twenties, Bullock responded to an altar call and began his journey of faith claiming that he has always been overwhelmed by the depths of God's desire to draw near to each of us.
GeoffBullock is vader van zeven kinderen, vijf van zichzelf en twee die hij beschouwt als geweldige huwelijksgeschenken." Bullock begon met het schrijven van aanbiddingsliederen toen hij muziekvoorganger werd in Hillsong Australia.
Hij vertelt dat er een tijd in zijn leven was, dat hij zich zo zwak voelde en hem overkwam wat er in dit lied staat.
Bullock hoopt, dat het volgende lied dat hij gaat schrijven hoop zal brengen aan hen die zich buitengesloten voelen in het geloof.
With precision Geoff sums up this theological error we associate with Hillsong as “present(ing) human perfection as an outworking of faith.” This kind of misdirection seems to be part of the ministry of Joel Olsteen, as I commented upon earlier and which has Jason Clark has noted is now highlighted in a BBC documentary.
I was part of the church GeoffBullock attended after leaving Hillsong and it was certainly obvious that he was keen to move away from this misdirection.

But while Geoff may have known the joys of stardom he has also come face to face with the depths of man's sinful nature and, concurrently, with the grace of God.
GeoffBullock is no longer the super-hero of Australasian Christian worship.
Today Geoff is married to his old friend and is returning rather reluctantly to public life.

Geoff Bullock rewriting his songs - Development on a Shoestring(Site not responding. Last check: )
GeoffBullock, writer of so many classic worship songs has been re-writing them, re-focusing their words on God’s works rather than our own.
The main reason for the rewrites is to simply take the focus from "what we do for God" to give us a sense of spiritual affirmation and placing it firmly on "what God has done and is doing for us".
Geoff rewriting the songs God has given expresses the deeper aspects of the revelation given when the song was birthed.
After several years out of the public eye, world-renowned songwriter GeoffBullock, 48, has returned to the limelight and is rewriting many of his earlier works for a new album.
Well, I’m a father of seven kids...Geoff Bullock was a writer of a lot of really well known songs who is now revisiting that and writing new songs and books and things.
That was what GeoffBullock was all about: what must we do to make the church successful; to experience the presence of God; to have an encounter with God; to get more of God.
