Holy Lovely was written back in the Mali days and was one of our more known songs.
Useful as an upbeat praise song, it’s chord progression in the chorus is reminiscent of the common melodies and musical themes of 16th century hymns.
The mercy of God as seen in his love towards sinners is beautiful, attractive, and lovely –And His holiness and justice is vindicated in the same instance — at the cross.

Lyrics
It feels like heaven has opened up
And mercy rains are falling again
The dry and broken come as they are
Hear the angels sing their song
The melody of God and Man
Reconciled for holiness
Holy Lovely, God Almighty
Mercy flows like a river
Now abides Faith, Hope, and Love
And yes, we know the greatest of these
Love took on our sin for us
Holy Lovely, God Almighty
Mercy flows like a river
This ensemble, gives You glory
Holy, lovely always
If you’re far away
Come to Him today
Be forever changed
It’s free… it is free
Now everyone around the world
Hearts are joined in one accord
We sing the words He loves to hear
Holy Lovely, God Almighty
Mercy flows like a river
This ensemble, gives You glory
Holy, lovely always
