MP3: He is Holy DOA

He Is Holy - Song History
Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
Received on January 11, 2012

For several days I had been pondering the epic scale of God’s presence.
The universe is epic. The Rocky Mountains are epic.
The scope of the oceans is epic. Even the microscopic is epic!
I love the way an epic movie tells a grand story...how wide
and broad and deep and high those stories tend to be!
But God’s epic-ness is even greater! As I received this song,
I began with simply trying to put together an orchestral
montage that would evoke the feelings of an epic movie
soundtrack like Braveheart or Gladiator. As the music
unfolded in my mind, this song began to be born.
I wanted to convey at least some of the epic-ness
of God’s BIG PICTURE of eternity and the massive
nature of His scale that a human heart could fathom.
This song is the result. As you worship with this music,
step outside of the box of your human understanding
and ask the Holy Spirit to allow you to see eternity
and His love and power from an epic perspective.

...but just as it is written,
"THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD,
AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN,
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."
1 Corinthians 2:9 NASB

Verse
He rides the wind and reigns in majesty!
Lord of the storm Who calms the sea!
He is holy! He is holy!
His presence echoes through eternity!
In silence He can loudly speak!
He is holy! He is holy!
He is holy! Holy! Holy!

Chorus
He is Lord of All!
He is Lord and God!
He is King and Lord of All!
He broke sin's chains and set us free!
He rules in power and majesty!
He is the Lord! He is the King!
And He is holy!

Verse
Perfect in love, laid down His very life!
Bridge between man and holy God!
He is holy! He is holy!
Taking our sin, the perfect sacrifice!
Paying the debt for one and all!
He is holy! He is holy!
He is holy! Holy! Holy!

Chorus
He is Lord of All!
He is Lord and God!
He is King and Lord of All!
He broke sin's chains and set us free!
He rules in power and majesty!
He is the Lord! He is the King!
And He is holy!
