Newsboys - It Is You Lyrics

“It Is You” is a direct expression of gathered worship. The opening lines picture raised hands, prayer in God’s name, and a community assembled before the God of mercy and grace. Questions asking whether God will meet them carry expectancy without presuming control; the worshippers come to adore, call, and wait upon him.

The chorus narrows every offering of praise toward God alone. Its repeated “It is You” gives the song a clear center, while the declaration that the heavens proclaim him expands the scene beyond the gathered congregation to creation itself. The closing confession, “Holy, holy,” echoes biblical visions in which heavenly beings acclaim the holiness of the Almighty. By pairing God’s mercy with his majesty, the lyrics hold welcome and reverence together. Raised hands and repeated praise become responses to who God is, not attempts to earn his presence. The song’s concise language makes adoration its subject and its action, returning again and again to the holiness of God’s name.
