Lyrics

[Verse]
I saw the Lord
Seated on His throne
He was clothed in glory
And exalted high
And the train of His robe
It filled the temple
And the angels circled round Him
And cried


[Chorus]
You are holy
Oh so holy
Oh so holy
You are holy
Holy, Lord of all


[Verse]
And woe is me
For I'm unclean
But my eyes, my eyes have seen
The seen the Holy King
And He cleansed my lips
Right before I died


[Chorus]
And the pillars shook
Lord, let the pillars in our nation shake
As the angels, as the angels cry
They were singing that
You are holy
Oh so holy
Oh so holy
You are holy
Holy, Lord of all


[Chorus]
You are holy
Oh so holy
Oh so holy
You are holy
Holy, Lord of all


[Bridge]
Come on, lift your voices to the Lord
You are holy
Oh so holy
Oh so holy
You are holy
Holy, Lord of all


[Chorus]
You are holy
Oh so holy
Oh so holy
You are holy
Holy, Lord of all


[Outro]
You are holy
Oh so holy
Oh so holy
You are holy
Holy, Lord of all

Meaning & Inspiration

You are Holy (Isaiah 6) presents a worship scene drawn directly from Isaiah's vision of the Lord enthroned in the temple. The opening images of glory, the train of the robe, circling angels, and the cry of holiness establish divine majesty as the song's central subject. Repetition in the refrain keeps attention on God's holiness rather than on the worshipper's experience.

The lyric also follows Isaiah's movement from awe to confession and cleansing. The declaration “woe is me” acknowledges uncleanness before the Holy King, while the reference to cleansed lips reflects the prophet's encounter with the burning coal. Later lines about shaking pillars recall the thresholds trembling at the angelic voices. Although some live exhortations apply the imagery to the present, the song remains rooted in adoration and reverence. Its biblical language portrays worship as a response to God's revealed holiness, with confession and cleansing arising in the presence of the Lord of all.
