Dunsin Oyekan - Holy Lyrics

"Holy" opens by quoting a well-known vision almost word for word, the year King Uzziah died, the glory of the Lord filling the temple, placing the song's entire perspective inside that ancient prophetic sight. That borrowed opening scene frames everything that follows as witnessed vision rather than imagined description.

Its verses describe angels ascending and descending around a glorified Jesus, worship rising toward a throne, before the chorus responds with the same cry recorded in that vision, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts. Repeating that cry at length allows the song to dwell inside the moment of encounter rather than quickly moving past it.

Rooted in contemporary Nigerian worship's extended declarative style, the song functions as a sustained meditation on God's holiness witnessed directly, its closing section naming Yoruba titles, God of the universe, mighty, powerful, merciful, alongside English declarations, closing on the same repeated cry of holiness that opened the entire vision.
