The lyrics to Chris Tomlin's song, HOLY IS THE LORD, are an expression of worship and adoration towards God. It begins with the image of a community standing together, lifting their hands in praise, and feeling filled with joy because they recognize that God is their strength. The second verse continues in worship, this time bowing down to Him acknowledging His greatness and His awesomeness. The chorus repeats twice, declaring that God is Holy, indicating that He is completely separate and perfect in His nature, and He is the Almighty Creator God who fills the earth with His glory. There is a sense of unity in these lyrics that reflect how this declaration about God's holiness is not merely an individual affirmation, but a communal one.
The bridge in this song declares that the anthem of the Lord's renown is rising up all around. It suggests that worship and adoration towards God are not isolated events but happening all around the world in different cultures and languages, making it a universal phenomenon. The song ends with a repetition of the grandeur and exaltation of God's name, using the term 'holy' thrice, emphasizing the deity's holiness and all-encompassing nature.

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
