(Friends, each Saturday this year, we are sending the lyrics and a recorded version of one of our songs. This week's edition is one very special to Frances and me. "Holy Is Thy Name" is one of the first songs I ever wrote, more than 30 years ago now, and the first song that Frances and I sang publicly together. As many of you know, I came to music late, beginning to play guitar when I was 28, and piano at 30. The songwriting began in those days also, of course, and has been one of the great surprises of my life. Of course, I sing with the greatest harmony singer on the planet (build in reverb in her voice!), so I suppose the Lord had to find a way to give Frances opportunity to express the gift He gave to her. We now sing at least a thousand hymns and songs together in more than 300 services a year, and as I write these words, the thought overwhelms me with wonder and gratitude. While not my favorite song I've written, "Holy Is Thy Name" remains what you might call our signature song, and we hope you find it encouraging. Thanks, Glen).

Holy is Thy

Holy is Thy
