Holy: Embracing the Divine Love and Redemption in Worship
Lyrics
God of this people
God is revered by these people, holds significance
Faithful and strong
Dependable and powerful
You are unchanging
Immutable, constant
A fortress for us
Provides security and protection
Slow to anger
Shows restraint in anger
Abounding in love
Overflowing with affection
Promise keeper
One who fulfills promises
Merciful God
Compassionate deity
Here in this place
In this place or situation
Strongholds will break
Strong barriers will be shattered
Holy
Acknowledgment of divine purity
Just and righteous You are
Just and morally upright
Holy
Divinely compassionate and potent
Merciful and mighty You are
Majestic in mercy and strength
Holy
Sacred and significant
God of redemption You are
Deity who redeems and saves
Holy Holy
Repeated affirmation of holiness
Christ our savior
Jesus as the rescuer
Patient and kind
Tolerant and benevolent
Tender hearted
Compassionate and empathetic
Gives sight to the blind
Brings understanding to those lacking
Holds no records
Doesn’t keep a record of wrongs, releases from disgrace
Frees us from shame
Freedom from shame through Jesus’ authority
Only Jesus and the power of His name
Only Jesus and the authority vested in His name
Here in this place
Similar to line 9, suggesting a repeated sentiment
Strongholds will break
Continuation of the expectation of breaking strongholds

By His blood united with the king
Joined with the king through His blood
With heavenly hosts in awe we will be
Anticipation of being in awe with celestial beings
Standing before You God we will sing
Commitment to praise God when faced directly
Holy Holy Holy Lord God almighty
Repeated affirmation of holiness and divine might
