I awoke early one morning in the foothills of the Himalayas to the unfamiliar sounds of a Nepali morning. As I listened, I became aware that I was entering into a day that had already begun. My thoughts turned to worship. I thought of the angels and their songs thundering through the heavens. I realized I was waking to join worship that was already in motion. Inspired by my surroundings, lyrics and melody began to flow. Within an hour the song was finished. I introduced it in a morning worship gathering about two and a half hours after waking. I don’t think I’ve ever written another song so quickly.
We join the song of angels singing,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord”.
For You alone are God our Father.
You’re the one we worship and adore.
We lift our lives before your throne
You are our greatest joy
God Alone
You’re the glory of creation
All we are cries out to You
And with our lives we sing
God Alone
You’re the hope of every nation
We will live to make you known
For you are God alone
We long for more to come to know You
May they see your beauty in our lives
Send your light into their darkness
Setting their hearts free to bring You praise
We lift their lives before your throne
May You become their joy!
