Gaye, Marvin - Wholy Holy Lyrics






Ah, wholy holy
Come together
Wholy holy
People got to come together
And I know with the strength, power and all the feeling
Wholy holy
Wholy holy
Oh Lord, come on get together, one another
Oh Lord
Wholy holy
Wholy holy
Wholy holy we believe in one another
Wholy holy we believe in Jesus
Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return
He left us a book to believe in
In it we've got an awful lot to learn
Oh, wholy holy
Oh Lord
We can conquer hate forever, yes we can
Ah, wholy holy, Oh Lord
We can rock the world's foundation
Yes we can
Better believe it
Wholy holy together and wholy
Holler love across the nation
Oh, oh
Wholy holy
We proclaim love, our salvation
Oooh, ooh...

  19. C.... A....

    Even just the title to this song blows my mind. Wholly - Definition: From Old English whole-ly. Completely, totally, utterly, perfectly, in every respect, wholeheartedly, radically, purely, simply, to the exclusion of everything/everyone. Holy - Definition: Exalted or worthy of complete devotion, as in perfect in goodness and righteousness. Divine.

  20. J.... J....

  24. W.... 2....

    Great song... Touches you. 👑

  25. R.... C....

    Not to be confused with Neil Diamond's "Holly Holy".

  26. A.... S....

    Marvin Gaye wrote this song, but as usual when Aretha sang it, the Queen took us to church. I love both of them.

  27. M.... W....

    Speaking for the family and the household of faith...

  28. O.... J....

    First time hearing this version. Aretha Franklin brought me here.

    O.... J....

    Cool. Not sure if you know, realize, Marvin sang it first.

    O.... J....

    Aretha Franklin brought me here is one of the best reason I've ever heard!!!

  29. L.... G....

  35. R.... G....

    Wowww great video!!!

  36. R.... G....

    Amazing Video!!!!

  37. G.... R....

    His voice was one of few that can bring such blissful significance to a fulfilling orchestrated string serenade, with such subliminal longing. like Mozart to MJ; I doubt we'll ever witness extraordinary harmony in our lifetime again.

  38. D.... P....

    Relevant then and NOW

    Theresa Washington-Bragg sending prayers to you Ma'am. Hugs, hugs, and more hugs.

    T.... W....

    Thomasa Coleman thank you

    T.... W....

    Mrs. Washington-Bragg my heart goes out to you during this time. I don't know if you believe in the Lord, but he is so valuable to everyone who believes especially during these times. "He who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life" John 5:24. This scripture holds everything that we have in Jesus. Most importantly which isn't mentioned though is a really good friend. God Bless!

    T.... W....

    Condoleances, music helps recover and time heals things a bit...

    Leslie Fountain Great playing. I'm grateful to your father for the blessing of hearing his beautiful sax on this beatiful song.

    R.... B....

    Best of luck finding the light, brother

    R.... B....

    The BEST way to get closer to God is to embrace your truths.
    Organized religion is the WORST place to look for God, due to its myths and total BS.
    There's a reason why Christ fought the church during His ministry.

    R.... B....

    Amen .. for ALL men (and women) everywhere. <3 <3

  65. L.... S....

    CLASSIC~

  66. M.... K....

    Always amazed by the enlightend spirirt of this Man....

  67. E.... O....

    Question... if you were going to be stranded on a desert island for the next 20 years, and you could only take with you the anthology of one male artist, who would it be?? My answer unquestionably is Marvin Gaye.

    E.... O....

    Then make it Bowie, right on!

    E.... O....

    David Ruffin

    E.... O....

    Me too. Marvin Gaye hands down

    E.... O....

    I’m stuck between Sade and Marvin Gaye. 🤔

    E.... O....

    @Anne Micheline Pivin Ms. Pivin, praise God and you ain't said nothing but the truth. Nothing compares to those mellifluous voices.LOL & BLESSINGS 🥰👼

  68. D.... H....

    why can't this generation get this? we all need it bad - too much hate these days.

  69. o.... b....

    WHAT AH SONG!

  70. s.... s....

    Marvin, if he knew it, was a rich man...this song and album has millions of people that adore it and him..no money can ever buy what he and "Whats going on" means to all of us

  71. K.... O....

    BEAUTIFULLY SAID!!!

  72. H.... ....

    I PLAYED THIS AT MY DADS FUNERAL, 15 YRS AGO I STILL MISS MY POPS, I PLAY THIS SONG EVERYTIME I GO TO THE VIST HIM YOU KNOW I STILL CRY, I LOVE YOU DAD!

  73. s.... s....

    This track is so beautiful..

  74. S.... G....

    Marvin, was so prophetic! I just love this man! His words yet ring true! His spirit must be aware of "what is going on" now! To have a vision and be able to put it to words, and a melody is no small fete, yet Marvin was able to do just that! The Melodies of "What;s going On" will live on for many generations, thanks to Marvin and our creator!

  75. E.... ....

  77. M.... G....

    this says it all....the first breathe says all it....the realness, isness and nowness of this work leaves me speechless....i can only dance, pray and shed tears

  78. K.... D....

    No comment needed...This beautiful song speaks for itself. We just need to listen to what Marvin has been trying to tell us for the past 41yrs. CHILLING!

  79. o.... ....

    The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the pure-dee truth...

  80. c.... h....

    I love Motown to!!!!

  81. S.... G....

    (lol) Yep, pretty much. They cause a lot of division wherever they go. I have met a lot of them in churches sorry to say. They are ones who have turned so many away from attending churches; that and greedy, power hungry, competitive preachers. I saw an article the other day stating how many Christians watch streamlined sermons. It's sad because God said "not to rebuke the assembly."

  82. m.... ....

    My Auntie discribed those so called christians as Hellians. : D

  83. S.... G....

    Amen, so glad Jesus came for the outcast and unwanted...that's why the sinners that knew they were unworthy could touch Him and the Pharisees/Saducees couldn't... This world is full of self-righteous, church-going, tax-paying, turning-their noses up at the poor, snobs... Watch Marvin's interview with Joyner where he said "I'm broke"...Marvin was a lot things including "real".

  84. m.... ....

    Yes, God is a loving God, not that mean god that those harsh judging religious fanatics what people to believe. You words are so beautiful. See you there!! : D

  85. S.... S....

    So did I, this was one of my best songs....

  86. S.... G....

    John 12:32 "And if, I be lifted up from earth, will draw all men onto Me."
    Matthew 11:24 "Come to Me; all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light."

  87. S.... G....

    @benjahmin1000 Thank you Benjahmin, Yes, aren't you glad that the world doesn't decide if we believers go to hell or Heaven; that they don't have the final authority over us. They are so harsh and wrong in their judgements. We have an almighty God that is merciful and is Love...Thank God that His mercies are new every day and He loves the broken hearted. I have hope for Whitney, Michael, Marvin, etc. Amen. The joy of the Lord is truly my strength and my rest Peace, my brother; see you in Heaven.

  88. D.... Y....

    I used to sit in front of the record player and listen to this for hours!

  89. S.... G....

    @benjahmin1000 This is a beautiful song and it's proof he was a believer...Thank God he now has peace with his maker. Didn't have it here...What happened with and to Marvin is sad. I don't think the IRS or divorce court should be allowed to degrade a man to the point where you put him in harm's way. America has a lot of blood on her hands and has broken a lot of people. It's a shame; he's been gone for 28 years and I'm still mad. JUSTICE, is still crying out from the streets and hills.

  90. Z.... F....

    THE PRINCE!!!!!

  91. K.... E....

    Marvin Gaye's voice still give its fully warmth, whenever I hear its sound. Marvin where ever you are your in my heart and soul, 4always

  92. h.... ....

    Thanks for posting! Sounds great on my Soulful Christmas mix. yes.

  93. a.... ....

    It's not not Marvin was ahead of the times. It was already a difficult, turbulent time in the lives of so many Americans, especially African-Americans, war etc. family structures broken, look at the times back then.---painful

  94. R.... H....

    In the midst of these often stormy and ever so turbulent times, Marvin(with this song) has provided a spiritual oasis for all to quench our thirst for peace and salvation, while we continue to toil in this existence which we call LIFE. Peace and Respect, to all, and to Marvin, R.I.P.

  95. t.... K....

    a soul of peace that left us all to soon To his tribute we need to keep his words and spirit and love of his fellow man always in our vision

  96. M.... ....

    I listen to this record and think, its all still happening. All of it. How can all of this be true 40 tears later. Did nobody hear? Bless you Marvin for stepping outside of your image and fame and what was expected of you to tell the truth.

  97. B.... ....

    @bossofalltime I very much doubt it, Marvin was so far ahead of his time.

  98. N.... L....

    Marvin is right about people coming together. 40 years on and things are still disjointed as ever. Maybe one day, eh

  99. a.... ....

    OMG!!!!!!!!!! This song nutures to my soul. SMH!!!!!!!!! Holy Holy!!!!!!! CHeck out JOhn Legend & The Roots Wholy Holy version as well but I like MArvins version better.
