Intro Note: When you focus on God's righteousness, think beyond an attribute of God. The righteous God is not static, nor is God righteous in a vacuum. That is to say, God is righteous always in relationship. That means the righteous God is always one who can be counted on in relationship together to function in the way God is, and in what God says and promises—nothing less and no substitutes. Therefore, sing of God and to God as who, what and how you can count on God to be—O righteous God!
Chorus: O righteous God, righteous God true to your nature true to who you are. O righteous God, righteous God with us you are, with us you are
Verse: Your righteousness stands alone yet never acts apart, it’s what you are with us, we all can count on—
(reflective) Trustworthy, righteous God is how you are, yes, how you are.
Repeat: chorus, verse, chorus
Ending: Trustworthy, righteous God with us you are, with us you are, yes, how you are.

Holy denotes to be set apart from the ordinary, to be separated from the common, and thus to be distinguished as the uncommon from the common world. God is certainly uncommon, but our God is also whole—that is, the whole and uncommon Trinity. Whole-ly is the combination of whole and holy that distinguishes only the whole and uncommon Trinity.
Note: underlined words to be chanted, rapped, shouted, or any other style, in this rhythm but not sung; tempo increases after Bridge 1, then slows down after verse 6 to the end.
