Holy Is the Lord

Theology & Meaning

A declaration of God's holiness drawn from Isaiah 6:3's seraphic proclamation—'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.' The song bridges the heavenly throne room with earthly worship: what the angels declare unceasingly in heaven becomes the song of the gathered church on earth.

Worship Leadership Tips

A Passion movement staple that works for almost any service. The building structure—from quiet opening to full declaration—creates an effective worship arc. Many congregations know it well. Works for large gatherings and intimate settings alike. Natural raising-of-hands song.

Arrangement Tips

Piano-led intro building gradually to full band. Electric guitar and keys add layers as the song progresses. The 'We stand and lift up our hands' bridge is a natural invitation to physical response. The final chorus with 'The earth is filled with His glory' should feel like an explosion.
