TSMSS - Holy is He!


So many churches are moving away from choral music today and I sometimes fear that we are in danger of completely losing some wonderful music that has ministered to hearts and proclaimed the name of God for so many years. I realize that not everyone has the same taste in music, but I hope that songs such as this one don't fade away completely. It warms my heart to see choirs of teenagers and college students learning the songs as well as the techniques and discipline required to sing in a choir, which is much different from singing a solo.

I have always loved singing this song. How true the words are. HOLY is He!



HOLY IS HE

Holy is He and great is His glory
Holy is He and worthy of our praise
I stand in His presence amazed
And crown Him with worship and praise
Holy is He, Holy is He, Holy is He.


Who pardons my iniquities?
Who heals me from within?
Who lifts my fallen life
And sets me on my feet again?
Who hears me like a Shepherd
When I've gone astray?
My Lord, my God, my Jesus,
The One I praise today!

Holy is He and great is His glory
Holy is He and worthy of our praise
I stand in His presence amazed
And crown Him with worship and praise
Holy is He, Holy is He, Holy is He.


Who hears me in my loneliness?
Who finds me when I hide?
Who knocks outside my broken heart
'Til I let Him inside?
Whose life deserves the honor
Laid before His throne?
My Lord, my God, my Jesus,
My Savior and my Own!

Holy is He and great is His glory
Holy is He and worthy of our praise
I stand in His presence amazed
And crown Him with worship and praise
Holy is He, Holy is He, Holy is He.


Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name
In earth and sky and sea
Holy, Holy, Holy, merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, Blessed Trinity!

Holy is He and great is His glory
Holy is He and worthy of our praise
I stand in His presence amazed
And crown Him with worship and praise
Holy is He, Holy is He, Holy is He!


Holy is He! Amen!
AMEN!

I know a song by this name, but not these words and not this tune!

I need to put breaks on my life! I won't be home all day tomorrow or Sunday. Haven't been home most of this week. I am missing my online friends!

Thank you for such holy music--giving all honor, glory and praise to Him who is the only Holy One.
I expect we have here just a taste
of what the heavenly choir will be.
