God you are holy
All days...

You are God of peace

You are God of peace
God you are Holy
You are God of joy
God you are holy X2
You are God to be Holy..
God you are Holy...
Iye hiye hiyeee...
God you are Holy...

Verse (by the guy then after the girl)
Let all the creatures, the elders and the angels
Say your Holy, aah!
The nation you created we say that you are Holy King.

God you are Holy
You are God of joy
God you are Holy
You are God of forgiveness
God you are holy X2
We shall forever say that
You are God of Hope
God you are holy
God you are Holy,
You are Holy oh Jesus...

Rest:
The good works that you always do for your people
They say that you are holy aaah
For we see that there is nothing we can get to pay
Apart from thanking you..aaah
The good works that you always do, for your people
They say that you are holy aaah
For we see that there is nothing we can get to pay you...
Apart from thanking you..
aaah God you are Holy X5
You are Holy God
Lets say it, lets announce it...
Holy you are Holy...
Let the nations say that you are the only Holy one...
The works you always do for us,
there is nothing I can offer...
Apart from saying that you are Holy...
Holy you are Holy...God you are Holy...

I reformatted these lyrics to enhance their readability. (My apologies if this reformatting isn't correct.)

The word "your" was written throughout these lyrics for "you are". I changed "your" to "you are" when applicable to be clear which meaning of "your" was intended in these lyrics.
