(Holy)
(Holy)
A thousand generations falling down in worship
To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
And all who've gone before us, and all who will believe
Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb
Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
And the angels cry, "Holy"
All Creation cries, "Holy"
You are lifted high, holy
Holy forever
If you've been forgiven, if you've been redeemed
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
If you walk in freedom, if you bear His name
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
We'll sing the song forever and amen
And the angels cry, "Holy"
All Creation cries, "Holy"
You are lifted high, holy
Holy forever
Hear Your people sing, "Holy"
To the King of kings, holy
You will always be holy
Holy forever
Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominion
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all, Jesus
Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all (Oh, stands above)
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
And the angels cry, "Holy"
All Creation cries, "Holy"
You are lifted high, holy
Holy forever (We cry, "Holy forever")
Hear Your people sing, "Holy" (We will sing)
To the King of kings, (Holy) holy (Holy forever)
You will always be holy
Holy forever
You will always be holy
Holy forever

💡 Song Meaning & Background
"Holy Forever" by Chris Tomlin is a contemporary Christian worship song that centers on the eternal holiness of God and the unending praise He receives from all creation. The lyrics draw heavily from biblical imagery found in the Book of Revelation, specifically echoing the unceasing worship of the living creatures and elders around God's throne, as well as Old Testament themes of God's majesty and faithfulness. Ultimately, the song serves as a congregational anthem that unites believers in the timeless act of exalting God alongside the heavenly host.
