Holy
Jesus Culture (Kim Walker) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one look on Your face
Just one glance of Your eyes
My whole world is changed
my whole world is changed

Oh I seek only to see Your face
I don’t wanna go anywhere without You God
Without Your presence

Oh let me see Your face
The beauty of Your holiness God
Take me into the holy place

And only one word comes to mind
There’s only one word to describe

Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty

There is no one like You

You are Holy
Holy
