Album design

''The Power of Your Love'' was designed by a local design firm in Sydney, Australia. The Font used for the title is Century Gothic (a standard font on most Microsoft Computers). The front cover photograph is a panograph taken by Christian photographer; Ken Duncan. His panographs are seen on three other Hillsong album covers. There are no photographs of the actual live service in the original CD sleeve design. The updated version shows "what's new from Hillsong Music Australia".

Reception

In June 1993, Tony Cummings of '' Cross Rhythms'' rated the album as 7 out of 10 and described the group as willing to "take on the full hard rocking armoury of AOR to shout praises to God". He summarised the album with "What they lack in subtlety they make up for in exuberance ... Recommended to radical worshippers".
