- "Holy Lord" is a Gospel music piece and also a strophic form of music composed and sung by fr. JohnboscoMbbah-Offor. "Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts" appears in Catholic liturgy and Scripture, particularly in the Sanctus of the Mass and in Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8.
The repetition of "Holy" three times emphasizes the supreme holiness of God. "Holy" signifies God's otherness and purity, underscoring His absolute moral and spiritual perfection.
"Lord" denotes His sovereignty and divine authority. "God of hosts" (or "Lord of armies") indicates His command over the heavenly armies (angels) and His omnipotence.
This song invites us to recognize and respond to the holiness of God. It calls for a life of holiness, reflecting God’s nature. It also underscores God’s transcendence and immanence: He is beyond and above all creation yet intimately involved with His creation.
