Lyrics
Verse 1
There's a stirring in our land, it's a holy mighty sound
Of generations singing of the love we've found
There's a rising of our faith, and a hope for more to come
As hearts are drawn to Jesus, the redeeming one
Pre-Chorus
Let the people join the angels singing
Chorus
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord most High
Worthy, worthy, worthy to be glorified
Jesus son of God, who was and is to come
You reign forevermore
Verse 2
Let the prison walls come down, and the captives be released
For the God of all salvation is our liberty
He is lifting heavy burdens, and he's banishing our shame
Darkness flees before him and his mighty Name
Pre-Chorus
Let the people join the angels singing
Chorus
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord most High
Worthy, worthy, worthy to be glorified
Jesus son of God, who was and is to come
You reign forevermore
Verse 3
We are longing for the day when creation is restored
And all that's wrong and broken is forever cured
Let our God receive the praise throughout never ending days
For his love endures forever and his Kingdom reigns
Pre-Chorus
Let the people join the angels singing
Chorus
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord most High
Worthy, worthy, worthy to be glorified
Jesus son of God, who was and is to come
You reign forevermore
Jesus son of God, who was and is to come
You reign forevermore

Meaning & Inspiration
Vineyard Worship builds this song around the angelic cry from Revelation, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord most High," and invites the gathered church to join it. The opening verse describes a rising sound of faith across generations, the second verse pictures prison walls falling and burdens lifted by the God of salvation, and the third looks ahead to a restored creation where the Kingdom has no end. Each verse leads into the same line, "Let the people join the angels singing," which turns private hope into shared praise. The chorus then names Jesus as the one "who was and is to come," echoing the language of John's vision. The melody and structure are plain enough for a congregation to learn quickly, and the closing repeat of "You reign forevermore" gives a natural place to stay in adoration.
