You are Holy - The story behind the song

August 29, 2010
Langdon Palmer

Do you live in a world where the self-revelation of God is possible? Why would Michael W. Smith take the most bizarre, spooky, supernatural verses in scripture and put them in the most fun-loving normal top 40 style melody imaginable? Does a song like You Are Holy trivialize the great truths and revelations of scripture? No it puts them in their right place. It turns out that the best way to have a down earth, normal, natural life is to be in direct exposure to the super-naturally radical reality of the living God. Join us as we look at the verses in Isaiah 6, Isaiah 9, Daniel 7, Revelation 4 and Revelation 5 that form much of the lyrical base for the song You Are Holy
