This song is a lot of fun to perform live, and the loop contains the first "flat-picking" solo I recall writing for the 414. The strange sound in the loop is made with an "eBow"--an amazing little gizmo that keeps the string vibrating at the pitch being played. Of course, the bass line is produced by the octave pedal which cuts the pitch frequency in half.
See also the demo track for this song (I hope to make it a decent production soon). I recall the first hint of the song coming to me one day as I was leaving work for home. It was the intro line (more discernible in the demo track). I was in a definite mood to worship, yet I recall wondering what I was saying in all those worship songs that declare, "Holy is the Lord." So I gathered all the aspects about Him through which I know Him as Holy and packed them into this song.
Oh
my Lord, how I delight in you
glorious in all you say and do
You are my rock, and you will carry me through
the storm that hides the light
You will turn my foe in flight
You're my strength and song in the night
Great in mercy--calling everyone
Great in power--the demons turn and run
Great in love--and by your cross you have won
for me the gift of life
by your awesome sacrifice
And one day at your call, I will rise
Oh Lord, reigning in righteousness and peace
I join my voice with Heaven singing
"Holy, holy is the Lord."
Oh Lord, full of glory, grace, and truth
I join my voice with Heaven singing,
"Holy, holy is the Lord."
Crying, "Holy, holy is the Lord."
You gently lead me in paths of righteousness.
In your truth I'm lifted and refreshed.
I will trust you even when you test
me in the blazing fire,
Your will becomes my soul desire,
for I know it's your love calling me higher
