Lyrics
V1:
All throughout the ages
For a thousand generations
Day and night and night and day
All heaven sings Your song
So we join with their singing
Take every breath we're breathing
In and out and out and in
It all belongs to You
Chorus:
Holy holy holy holy
We're joining in with Heaven's song to You
Verse 2:
Your praise is not exhausted
No, we're just getting started
On and on and on and on
We'll sing forevermore
Bridge:
All glory and honor and power forever
For You alone are worthy
Oh You alone are worthy
Spanish Chorus:
Santo, santo, santo, santo
Con los angeles cantamos
Al Senor
Spanish Bridge:
Tuya es la gloria, el poder, y a la honra
Solo Tu eres digno

Meaning & Inspiration
Holy, Holy / Santo, Santo joins earthly praise with the worship pictured in heaven. The opening spans generations and imagines unending praise offered day and night, then places each breath within that continuing song. Repeated declarations of holiness keep the focus on God’s character, while the call to give glory, honor, and power acknowledges that worship belongs to him alone.
The English and Spanish sections express the same confession across languages, strengthening the sense of a gathered people joining heaven’s praise. The lyric’s images closely recall Revelation, where living creatures proclaim God’s holiness without ceasing and the heavenly assembly declares the Lord worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. Rather than treating praise as exhausted by repetition, the song presents it as an eternal response to God’s worth. Its bilingual close reinforces a shared confession: only the Lord is worthy of the worship offered across generations and languages.
