What Do I Know of Holy?

Happy Friday!

Today I wanted to share with you a song that has been on repeat in my car.  It's one of those songs that I sing way too loudly when no one is listening.  It has touched me in a way that's made me question my faith and how I really treat my relationship with the Lord.  I think sometimes it becomes routine and I forget the incredible holiness of God.  If I was truly in His presence standing before Him I don't think I'd even be able to stand.  I know sometimes I put Him in a box, make Him into what fits in my mind, and I need reminders to break that box wide open and allow Him in all of His power and glory to reign.  Lord, "I think I made you too small"...





I made You promises a thousand times

I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small


I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

So What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
So What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

So What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
So What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life it's name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
