Holy Ground
Lou Fellingham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holy ground
We are standing on holy ground
Here before Your throne
With open arms we worship You

You are holy, You are worthy
To receive power, wisdom and strength
In their thousands angels worship
Giving praise and all glory to You

Holy one
In all earth and heaven there is none
To compare with You
Your glory outshines the sun

Heaven and earth will change




But You remain the Lord of all
We are standing here on holy ground
