Reuben Morgan is the worship pastor and one of several worship leaders and songwriters alongside Darlene Zschech at the Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia. He has written songs such as "Eagles Wings", "Hear Our Praises", "I Give You My Heart", "My Redeemer Lives" and "Mighty to Save", which won the 'Best Worship Song' category at the 2009 GMA Dove Awards. In 2005 his first solo worship album, World Through Your Eyes, debuted at #3 in the Australian Christian Charts. The album was also released in Canada.
In 2005, Morgan signed with Rocketown Records, owned by Michael W. Smith. The company released his debut album in the United States, but four of the original songs were removed in favour of cover versions of Hillsong songs written by Morgan. In addition, the remaining songs were remixed and the resulting songs had a heavier feel when compared to the softer adult contemporary-style originals.
Morgan has toured extensively around the United States, Canada and Europe. A 2007 European tour featured events in Scotland, England, Germany and Sweden. His latest personal album, Everyone, contains Morgan's interpretation of his music and was mostly written in the previous 18 months, recorded in a big sounding, studio worship without the congregational elements found in the Hillsong Live albums.Everyone largely featured covers of previously released Hillsong songs written by Morgan and was released in Australia on 2 October 2006.

Reuben James (c. 1776 – 3 December 1838) was a boatswain's mate of the United States Navy, famous for his heroism in the Barbary Wars.
Born in Delaware around 1776, James joined the United States Navy and served on several ships, including the frigate USS Constellation. During the Barbary Wars, the American frigate Philadelphia was captured by the Barbary pirates when it ran aground in the city of Tripoli, on the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Lieutenant Stephen Decatur, along with a group of volunteers that included Reuben James, entered the harbor of Tripoli under the cover of darkness in an attempt to burn the Philadelphia so that the pirates could not use her.
The volunteers boarded the Philadelphia on 16 February 1804 and were met by Barbary pirates who were guarding their prize. In the ensuing hand-to-hand combat, Reuben James, with both of his hands already wounded, positioned himself between Lieutenant Decatur and a sword-wielding pirate. Willing to give his life for his captain, James took a blow from the sword but survived.

Potiphar: And to whom are these prayers addressed to? Which gods?::Joseph: Only one, my lord.::Potiphar: Only one god. Must be very poor indeed.::[crowd laughs]::Joseph: My God provides for all my needs.::Potiphar: He hasn't done very well for you, has he?::[more laughter]
Ednan: I thought you were pious, boy. Are you too good to pray to our gods?::Joseph: No, not too good. Only... I, I only pray to the God of my fathers.::Ednan: Well you won't find Him in Egypt.
Simeon: First he sets Joseph above us and now Benjamin...::Judah: [grabs him] Then so be it! We will not tease God another time!
Potiphar's Wife: [after Joseph is spared execution] You sent him to prison? At your pleasure? What about my honor?::Potiphar: What honor?::Potiphar's Wife: How dare you!::Potiphar: I know you, wife. I know you.::Potiphar's Wife: You don't understand. Whatever you may think of me... how could you? How could you humiliate me like that?::Potiphar: Because one humiliation deserves another. Wife, anyone who knows Joseph also knows that if he swears by his God then he's telling the truth.
Potiphar: You had better prostrate quickly.::Joseph: You know I cannot.::Pharaoh: [furious] You what?::Joseph: Clearly the Pharaoh is greatness itself but my faith decrees that I can only kneel before God - even on pain of death.::Pharaoh: [laughs] Come forward. Take heed, magicians. Whatever happens, I know this man won't lie to me.
Potiphar: I'd be careful if I were you. You worship as you like in Canaan but in Egypt only Pharaoh, son of Ra, is god.
Potiphar's Wife: They say whatever he touches flourishes.::Potiphar: Is this true? [Ednan nods]
Potiphar: Do you think you could bring some order in my home if I brought you out of the fields?::Joseph: Out of the fields, master, I can do anything.::Potiphar: Then out of the fields you shall be! We will see just how things flourish under your hand or perhaps, the hand of your God.
Joseph: I have seen the evils of rape! It is hateful to me and an abomination in the eyes of God.
Potiphar's Wife: What is more important to you? His God or my good name?::Potiphar: The truth.
