Maverick City Music's song 'Holy' is a worship piece that emphasizes the holiness of God and the transformative work of Jesus. The lyrics describe a quiet, intimate encounter with God, contrasting it with grand displays, and celebrate the tearing of the veil, which symbolizes direct access to God through Christ's sacrifice. The song also declares victory over hell and the resulting peace and well-being for believers. It is a reverent and declarative worship song that focuses on God's perfection, grace, and the finished work of Jesus on the cross.

No trumpet sounded
No curtail raised
Yet heaven moved when I whispered Your name
No angel chorus
No mighty wind
Just stillness deep enough to let You in
Holy
[Repeat]
No flaw in You, no shadow cast
Just host of eternal life and always left
No stain, no sin, no earthly things
Only perfect love and much less grace
Holy
[Repeat]
You are Holy
You're always been Holy
Is who are Jesus
We say...
He tore the veil
He tore the veil
Now it is well
Yes, it is well
He conquered hell
He conquered hell
Now it is well
Yes, it is well
Holy
[Repeat]
He tore the veil
He tore the veil
Now it is well
Yes, it is well
He conquered hell
He conquered hell
Now it is well
Yes, it is well
Holy
[Repeat]
