Working with producer Jacob Sooter (Vertical Worship), Here Be Lions recorded the album live with guest vocalist Amanda Kinner and a small group of worshipers at Weston Barn near Kansas City, Missouri. Songwriters for the project include Smith, members of the HBL team and guest writers Sooter, Stu G (Delirious?), Joshua Silverberg (The Belonging) and Chris Quilala (Jesus Culture).
“Only A Holy God is the sound of a people declaring that the God of miracles is still at work today,” says Dustin Smith. “Who else can heal? Who else can set people free? Who else can raise the dead to life? Only a Holy God! Our hope is that this would be an anthem for the most powerful voice on the planet… His church.”

What It Sounds Like
This is an album full of gems for corporate worship settings. Whether expressing passionate worship of God's nature ("Only A Holy God," "We're Singing Holy"), prayerful cries to experience God's presence ("Wildfire," "Encounter"), or powerful declarations of hope and victory in Christ ("Wonder Working Power," "Arise & Shine"), each song facilitates a conversation of prayer and praise with God. Listeners will recognize the song "Miracles," which originally appeared on Jesus Culture's Let It Echo (Live) album and was co-written by Here Be Lions front-man Dustin Smith.
