Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord
[Verse 1:]
The Sovereign LORD Reigns, He's robed with majesty
He often pours flames on foes with tragic heat
As tellers of His story- He'll never snooze or tire
He's a consuming fire who's jealous for His glory
Man's deceitful in his heart- he loves sin and Satan
But God's completely set apart above His creation
He's foreign to humans in His infinity
Divinity and the Trinity's glorious union
He forever soars high, the Lord lies never
His Holiness- the only attribute He ever swore by
Taught what God has wrought, Amazed by God's displays
His thoughts are not our thoughts, our ways are not His ways
His purpose is His glory and He's lurking in obscurity
He certainly is Holy and He's perfect in His purity
He's furious in might and you think you're in the right
When sinless angels are surely in fright and not pure in His sight?
Fear this mighty King- His appearance: Frightening
The sound of His voice is the fiercest lightning
You dare defy Him? Be scared of dying
Because to see His glory is terrifying
Of His enemies the LORD is an avenger
Adore Him and surrender, see the horror of His splendor
To the glory of Christ, we rhyme solely
God is love and He's three times Holy!
[Chorus:]
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is our God
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
The whole earth is full of His glory
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
He's Holy, holy, holy is our God
He's Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts
We're more than gross, so in the Lord we boast
[Verse 2:]
If you think any other God can be found who's equivalent
You're drowning in ignorance and bound by belligerence
Sounds of deliverance echo through the valley
Of redemptive history- hit the ground at His magnificence!
Read of His majesty in the Torah-
He's extravagant with the horror
Just ask the inhabitants of Gomorrah
Expired in His presence
In flames drowned- smoke and ash-
His Holy wrath has rained down, fire from the heavens
On Mt. Sinai when He appeared the assembly near
Shouts violent cries and trembled in fear
And you can trust He'll delete and crush and defeat
All lust and deceit- The clouds are the dust of His feet
Ask Nadab and Abihu- Rahab and the spies knew
Check Psalm 76- Asaph will remind you
A loud singing choir flips in the heavenlies
The proud King Uzziah stricken with leprosy
Those who don't fear get the harshest of punishment
Like Uzzah when he touched the Ark of the Covenant
Yo, the Lord struck him down?
Because he was a guilty man who assumed his filthy hands
Were cleaner than the dusty ground!
It defies your reasoning to try conceiving Him
His foes will flee and hide when the Son comes
My eyes have seen the King and I'm an evil thing
Woe is me for I am undone!
[Chorus:]
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is our God
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
The whole earth is full of His glory
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
He's Holy, holy, holy is our God
He's Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts
We're more than gross, so in the Lord we boast
[Verse 3:]
All of His attributes flow from His holiness
The fact and truth is no one's beholding this
His perfect standard's opposed by America
But God's Holy Law shows us His character
It's this Law by which He's judging and nah, it isn't budging
This Holy God is strict and stubborn
So on Judgment Day when every man's in attendance
If you're not perfect you can't stand in His presence
BUT GOD who formed this earth- was born through virgin birth
Fulfilled His law, performing perfect works
Sin is odious, He deals severely with the lost
But friend, His Holiness revealed most clearly at the cross
Where He displayed Christ as a propitiation
To vindicate His name and show that He hates sin
His love is Holy- no justice dismissed
Because His Son was crushed and suffered for this
So God can forgive sin because He finally punished it
Yo, the Father gave up His Son? I know- what kind of love is this!
It's such an amazing display of love and grace
We trust and we praise Him who was raised for our justification
His majesty blazin for mad generations
From Adam's inspiration to the Transfiguration
Sin damned His creation - a bad situation
Until the Lamb's expiation for man's liberation!
[Chorus:]
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is our God
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
The whole earth is full of His glory
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
He's Holy, holy, holy is our God
He's Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Who was, Who is, and is to come
[Chorus 2:]
Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods?
Who is like You, O LORD?
Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods?
Who is like You, O LORD?
Who is like You, awesome in power!
Majestic in holiness, working wonders every hour!
Earthly kingdoms pass away, however
The LORD shall reign forever and ever!
[Chorus 2:]
Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods?
Who is like You, O LORD?
Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods?
Who is like You, O LORD?
Who is like You, awesome in power!
Majestic in holiness, working wonders every hour!
Earthly kingdoms pass away, however
The LORD shall reign forever and ever!
[Chorus 3:]
The LORD shall reign forever and ever!
The LORD shall reign forever and ever!
The LORD shall reign forever and ever!
The LORD shall reign forever and ever!
