Friday, October 18 – Holy, Holy, Holy



“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
     the whole earth is full of his glory.”        
–Isaiah 6:3 (NIV2011)
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
         –Matthew 21:9 (NIV2011)
 Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
    heaven and earth are full of your glory.
 Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
 Blessed is he, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
 Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest, hosanna in the highest.”
From Isaiah’s vision during worship in the Temple to Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem several days before his death, this song of praise expresses the breadth of God’s glory from the majestic temple vision to the gruesome ‘glory’ of the cross.  How great is our God!
Grant us grace as we sing to get a glimpse of your glory and majesty.
