Lyrics
As for me and my house we will serve You Lord
Lifting holy hands in worship
We will not bow down to the gods of men
We will worship the God of Israel
You are Holy, Holy
There is no one else like You
You are Holy, Holy
There is no one else like You
Choose this day whom you will serve
But as for me and my house...
We will serve You, Lord
We will serve You, Lord
We will not bow to the gods of men
We will not bow to the gods of men
We'll worship the God of Israel
Kadosh, kadosh Ata ein kamocha Adonai
Kadosh, kadosh Ata ein kamocha Adonai
You are Holy, Holy
There is no one else like You
You are Holy, Holy
There is no one else like You

Meaning & Inspiration
You Are Holy centers on a household’s public commitment to serve the Lord. Its opening declaration closely follows Joshua’s challenge to Israel, contrasting worship of God with submission to human-made gods. Raised hands, refusal to bow, and the repeated confession of holiness turn that choice into an act of worship rather than a merely private conviction.
The song’s Hebrew refrain, “Kadosh, kadosh,” reinforces the same claim expressed in English: God is holy and without equal. This language recalls biblical scenes in which heavenly worshipers proclaim divine holiness, while the reference to the God of Israel places the confession within Israel’s scriptural story. Repetition gives the lyric the character of a congregational pledge. The emphasis remains clear throughout: allegiance belongs to the Lord alone, and worship is the visible expression of that allegiance in the life of a household.
