“Holy Is the Lord” by Chris Tomlin is one of the most widely used praise and worship songs of the past couple decades, and this Holy Is the Lord chord chart gives guitar players a simple way to lead it in a modern worship setting. Also known by the line “We Stand and Lift Up Our Hands,” the song has a strong, uplifting feel and works especially well in congregational praise moments.
The chords are straightforward and repeat throughout most of the song, making it approachable for acoustic guitar or a full band. Once you have the progression down, it’s more about keeping the rhythm consistent and allowing the chorus to build naturally than anything technically difficult. You can play it in the key of G as written or adjust with a capo depending on your vocal range. This chart is available in the key of G.
