Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Holy is the Lord of Hosts" by Don Francisco repeatedly express the holiness and glory of the Lord. The first two lines of the song, "Holy, holy, holy/Is the Lord of hosts," refer to a verse from the Bible in Isaiah 6:3 where the angels surrounding God's throne cry out "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." The phrase "Lord of hosts" refers to God's heavenly army, emphasizing his power and might as the defender of his people.

The song also emphasizes God's presence in the world by declaring that "the whole earth is filled/with Your glory." This echoes Psalm 19 which states "the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands" and reminds listeners that God's presence and glory can be seen in his creation. The repetition of the phrase "Holy is the Lord!" throughout the song emphasizes the theme of God's holiness and the awe-inspiring power of his presence.
