Holy
Eddie James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are holy, holy, the whole earth is full of Your glory
I see You high and lifted up beyond the skies
I see Your throne as the train of your robe fills the temple
Your train so majestic for it shows every victory You've won for me
You're my conquering King, the One who fights for me,
Even death is swallowed up in victory because
You are holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
You are holy, holy, the whole earth is full of Your glory
Faithful and true, in righteousness You judge and make war
Your eyes a flaming fire, from Your mouth comes a sharp two-edged sword
On Your vesture dipped in blood is written King of Kings and Lord of Lords
To You be all the blessing, dominion, and power now and forever amen
Holy, worthy, righteous, and lovely
Faithful, Jehovah, Yeshua, Messiah
Creator, Redeemer, Restorer, my Healer
The whole earth is full of Your glory
The song "Holy" by Eddie James is a powerful worship song that exalts God for His holiness and victoriously fighting for His people. The lyrics consist of two main parts, the first part declaring God's holiness and the second part describing His victory.
The first part of the lyrics repeatedly emphasize God's holiness by proclaiming "You are holy, holy, holy, holy Lord" and "You are holy, holy, the whole earth is full of Your glory". This is a reflection of the vision that Isaiah had in the Bible (Isaiah 6:3) where he saw a vision of the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the seraphim surrounding Him, declaring His holiness. The whole earth is full of God's glory and all things were created for His glory.
The second part of the lyrics shifts to describing God's victory and power as the conquering King who fights for His people. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of God's majesty and triumph over death itself. The train of His robe fills the temple and is a symbol of His power, honor and victory. The song also highlights Jesus' second coming when He comes as a judge, with His eyes like flaming fire and a sharp two-edged sword coming from His mouth as described in Revelation 19:12-16. The blood on His vesture represents His sacrifice on the cross for our salvation and His title as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Overall, the lyrics of "Holy" reminds us of God's holiness and victory over sin and death. It is a beautiful song that exalts and gives praise to God for who He is.
