Kim Hill - Holy and Anointed Lyrics
Lyrics
Jesus, Jesus
Holy and anointed One, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus
You're the holy and anointed One, Jesus
Your name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit like water to my soul
Your word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus I love You, I love You
Jesus, no other name like Jesus
You're the risen and exalted One, Jesus
Your name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit like water to my soul
Your word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus I love You, I love You
Your name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit like water to my dry flesh to soul
Your word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus I love You, I love You
O Jesus, I love You, I love You
O Jesus, I love You, Lord I do
O Jesus, I love You, Lord I do
'Cause Your name it's like honey on my lips
Your Spirit is like water to my dry flesh to soul
Your word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus I love You, I love You
Jesus, no other name like Jesus
You're the holy and anointed One
You're the risen and exalted One
You're the holy and anointed One
Jesus, no other name like Jesus
There's no other name I love to see like Yours
There's no other name like Jesus, oh, no
'Cause there's no other name I love to see, oh, like Yours
There's no other name like Jesus, no, no
There's no other name I love to see, oh, like Yours
There's no other name like Jesus, no name like Yours

Holy and Anointed
Meaning & Inspiration
Kim Hill's "Holy and Anointed," released on September 9, 2003, as part of her album *Surrounded By Mercy*, stands as a powerful testament to the profound and transformative love for Jesus Christ. This song isn't merely a collection of pleasant sounds; it's a deeply theological declaration woven into a spiritual experience. The central message revolves around the supreme and unparalleled nature of Jesus, emphasizing His divine identity and the intimate, life-sustaining relationship believers have with Him. The repeated invocation of "Jesus, Jesus, Holy and anointed One" immediately grounds the listener in the core of Christian worship, acknowledging His unique position as set apart by God and filled with His Spirit. This echoes Old Testament prophecies and New Testament affirmations concerning Jesus’ divine appointment and anointing, such as in Isaiah 61:1, where the Spirit of the Lord God is upon the prophet to proclaim good news. Furthermore, the declaration of Him as the "risen and exalted One" directly points to the cornerstone of Christian faith: His resurrection and ascension, a truth affirmed in Philippians 2:9-11, which speaks of God highly exalting Him and giving Him a name above every name.
The lyrical imagery employed in "Holy and Anointed" is rich with scriptural parallels, painting a vivid picture of Jesus' impact on the soul. The description of His name being "like honey on my lips" evokes a sense of sweetness and pleasure, a direct echo of Psalm 119:103, which states, "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" This sweetness signifies the delightful truth and nourishing essence found in knowing and speaking the name of Jesus. The comparison of His Spirit to "water to my soul" (and later, to "my dry flesh to soul") speaks to the essential, life-giving sustenance that the Holy Spirit provides. This resonates powerfully with Jesus' own words in John 7:37-39, where He declared, "Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life." The Spirit quenches the deepest spiritual thirst, reviving and restoring what is dry and parched within us. The phrase "Your word is a lamp unto my feet" is a direct quotation from Psalm 119:105, highlighting the guiding, illuminating power of Scripture in navigating life's path, providing clarity and direction. The overarching sentiment of the song culminates in a fervent declaration of love: "Jesus I love You, I love You," expressing a deeply personal and devoted affection born from this understanding of His divine nature and life-giving work. The song's insistence on "no other name like Jesus" underscores the exclusivity of salvation and the unique mediatorial role of Christ, as stated in Acts 4:12: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." Kim Hill masterfully crafts a song that is not only an act of worship but also a profound theological reflection, inviting listeners to embrace the incomparable beauty and saving power of Jesus Christ.
