I was vacuuming my house and suddenly I started singing the first four bars of this hymn with this new melody. I told myself, don't change the melody of this beautiful hymn... but it just kept coming. I was able to finish the whole song in about 15 minutes.
As I have now led it at my church and recorded it, this arrangement has helped me discover that declaring the holiness of God doesn't only have to be expressed in a reverent way but also in a celebrative way. To be reminded that God is holy is to be reminded that He is pure, faithful and trustworthy and that is worth celebrating!
