Chris Tomlin’s ‘Arriving’ album was full of great worship songs, and Holy Is The Lord is no exception. It’s an easy song to play and I teach it using key of G chords. Categories: Songs, Tutorials By Brian Mar 4, 2011 16 Comments. On 2004's ARRIVING, however, Chris Tomlin sticks to the traditional CCM mold, offering up an album of modern, radio-ready pop that unabashedly and explicitly praises Jesus. Tomlin's take is often that of a wide-eyed innocent who is continually amazed by the scope and wisdom of the Lord's vision.

Name[edit]
