Holy Holy Lord

This is one of the songs that Wendy initiated and had effectively written most of the lyrics and had a melody idea for the first part of the song before I had sight or ear of it !

The song is slow in pace, simple yet haunting in its feel. The song builds from the first section ‘holy holy Lord’ through the repetitive pre-chorus ‘Holy, holy’ to the chorus itself that rises melodically and has a richer harmonic structure. When we use it at our church, it can really help to bring a sense of awe and reverence during a quieter time of worship.
Although not the way we do it, it's minor key would lend itself to a celtic style

Below are the lyrics to 'Holy holy Lord'

Holy, Holy Lord, Holy, Holy Lord
Wondrous in mercy, Rich in Your glory
Holy, Holy Lord, Holy, Holy Lord
Wondrous in mercy, Rich in Your glory

Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy

I will bow my knee, I will lift my hands
With my heart adore
I confess Your name, You're the King of Kings
Jesus, Prince of Peace, Holy Lord
