Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wholy holy
Come together
Wholy holy
People, we all gotta come together
'Cause we need the strength, power, and all the feeling
[Verse 2]
Wholy holy
Oh Lord, get together, one another
Wholy holy
That wholy holy
[Verse 3]
Wholy, we should believe in one another
Believe in Jesus
Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return
Believe it
He left us a book to believe in
In it, we've got a lot to learn
[Verse 4]
Oh, wholy holy
Oh Lord
We can conquer hate forever (Yes we can)
Believe me (Oh Lord)
Wholy (Be Holy, be holy)
[Verse 5]
We can rock the world's foundation
Everybody (Yes we can)
Together, together holy (Holy, holy, holy)
We'll holler love, love, love across the nation (Holy)
Wholy, all together and holy (Holy)
We proclaim love, our salvation
Oh, woo
