Magnificent and Holy

Here are the lyrics as "Israel Houghton" and "New Breed" actually sang them on "Magnificent and Holy." As far as I know, this is the first time these actual yrics have been posted on the internet. Israel's lead vocal is interpersed with the background vocals. As they overlap it would have been too confusing to read his lyrics if broken apart from the background singers separately.

"Magnificent and Holy"
by Isreal Houghton and Tim Hughes

Magnificent and Ho-Holy, Ho-Holy,
Ho-Ho-Holy, You are, Holy and joined with Heaven,
that Heaven kissed the earth as we sing

Ho-Ho-ly, Ho-Holy,
Join with angels singing Holy, Ho-Holy,
All He is is, the One who is, and is to come,
Ho-holy, You are, Ho-holy

(Music Crescendo)

Singing Holy, Ho-Holy, Hooolyyyy, Ho-Holy, heeeeey, Ho-Holy,
You are Holy, morn' and night, Ho-holy

Sing He's worthy, singing worthy is the Lamb,
Wor-worthy, worthy is the Lamb slain before the foundations of the earth,
Wor-worthy worthy, worthy Wor-worthy,
Worthy, worthy, wor-worthy

You are the Lord of the Breakthrough
You are mighty, mi-ighty,
God of the Next Level, the God of a New Season, mi-ighty,
The God of Another Dimension with (not sure what he says here)
Mi-ighty, oh, mighty, mi-ighty,
Once again let a roar go up, let a roar cry out from the earth!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, holy

One more time before we go tonight Holy, Ho-Holy Sovereign and Holy
You are, Ho-holy, just Once again say Holy, Ho-holy, Holy Lord, Ho-Holy
Hallelujah, (Spontaneous praise chorus)

hey my peeps,

i'm really sorry that i have not posted in quite a while...been busy, then God got busy... working a number on me. whew! gold and silver both have to be purified and refined by what? FIRE!

i still don't know what He is doing, nor what He has in mind for me...all i can say is whatever it is, it must take an enormous amout of perseverence and strength to get through it, because I have been going THROUGH the FIRE, in just about EVERY way imaginable. the only respite i get is when i have my personal time with God, when I know for a fact that my focus is not on myself or the turmoil swirling all about me...but only on Him. i absolutely adore my time alone with Him...it's so nurturing...honestly, sometimes, it is hard to be thankful when in the midst of the fire, while here on earth, but paul told us to rejoice, and again, he said, rejoice, no matter what the circumstances.

when i enter into that Holy of Holies place in my worship time, i find the love, peace, joy and relief that keeps me going....all because He is so magnificent and HOLY!

i wish i could put real tangible words on God....but He is really too 'big' for our little human vocabularies to adequately explain... He is so filling... so much substance... sustanance for my spirit, my mind, my heart, my soul, and my body. my heart aches to be more like Him, my spirit longs to commune with Him, my mind yearns to learn more of Him, even the fibers of my being-- my cells, cry out for nourishment from Him....the Give of Life. He is Magnificent and WHOLE. and it is through Him that i find completeness...and become whole.
Halleluyah.
