Sacred space and the holy exhibited in worship DVD's

I looked at a hillsong worship DVD. The lyrics were the most obvious illusion to sacred space and the holy and throughout the clip there were constant mentioning of the holy and sacred. There were people in the crowd and even the musicians had their hands rasied in the air, they mainly did this to feel that they are closer to God and also as a way of connecting with him. Everyone in the crowd was jumping, clapping and singing at the top of their lungs. Anywhere that you feel connected to God is considered sacred space and so sacred space is clearly exhibited in this hillsong worship DVD. The people in the crowd and their actions and emotions really send me a strong message that this is a sacred space, as most of them were glorifing and worshiping God. At the very end the main singer was closing his eyes and clapping, this really indicates that he knew that all the glory belongs to God and God alone. I think that the Hillsong worship DVD that I watched showed sacred space and the holy extensively throughout the course of the DVD right to the very end.
