[Verse:]
Worthy is the
Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is He
To Him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat
[Chorus:]
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord, God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
[Verse 2:]
Clothed in rainbows
Of living color
Flashes of lightning
Rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and
Glory and power be
To You, the only wise King
[Verse 3:]
Filled with wonder
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus, Your name is power
Breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery

The second verse intensifies the imagery by describing God as being clothed in rainbows and surrounded by lightning and thunder. The singer then gives honor, glory, and power to God who is the only wise King.
The third verse focuses on the name and power of Jesus, who is seen as a marvelous mystery that inspires awe and wonder. His name is described as being synonymous with power, breath, and living water, which can be interpreted as sources of life and strength.

@PropheciesOfTheEndTimes
Nobody..NOBODY does this better than this College group..
@steveblanton1590
Guy Penrod does!
@aprilmurphy4164
So true!
@cynthiaclack8705
watching a man sing with hair like a woman is contrary to 1st cor:11 no matter how good he sounds
This college group has outward holiness as well as inward. not a popular topic but still true
@hanksalmons8361
i don't see a man singing with women hair in this video.
@ellenalyshia
Based on your judgment of Guy Penrod’s “sinful” hairstyle, I assume that you wear a covering on your head when you pray... I suppose you also never speak at church, but have your husband or father speak for you instead, right? Perhaps Penrod is a Nazerite... who are you to say? Even if his having long hair is a sin, Jesus would’ve had lunch with him anyway... unlike the self righteous Pharisees who were like white washed tombs - pretty and clean on the outside, but on the inside... full of dead men’s bones. Just because a person has the outward appearance of what man considers to be holy, it does not mean that they are holy. If more Christians loved and treated others as Jesus did, the world would be a better place. If more Christians spent as much time doing the Do’s as they do judging others for the Don’ts, more people would want to follow the Way. It is the Goodness of God that leads to repentance. Jesus said they would know we are His by the way we love one another. Love never fails. Try it sometime.
