Cry Holy
Planetshakers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A wondrous mystery in the pages of history
Of a Man who bled and died for me
He's more than a story
He's the One who hung upon a tree
His crimson flow poured out for me
He gave His life to set me free

And I fall down

I fall down

I fall down on my knees
And cry Holy is the Lord

Worship Him
Worship Him and adore

Line by Line Meaning

A wondrous mystery in the pages of history
There is an incredible unknown in the records of the past

Of a Man who bled and died for me
A human who had suffered and passed away because of me

He's more than a story
This being surpasses being simply a tale

He's the One who hung upon a tree
He is the individual who was hanged to death on a wooden frame

His crimson flow poured out for me
My salvation was bought with his red fluid released

He gave His life to set me free
He chose to die so that I might live unbound

And I fall down
I collapse downward

I fall down on my knees
I decline to the floor with my legs bent

And cry Holy is the Lord
And in tears declare that the Lord is sacred

Worship Him
Pay homage to him

Worship Him and adore
Reverence him and demonstrate love towards him
