What do I know of Holy
Lyrics from an Addison Road song
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?
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?
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
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?
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 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?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?
I've been angry at God. Correction, I am angry at God. All around me, people that I love are fasting and seeking God for help....crying out for loved ones healed, solutions to major problems, houses that need to be sold, desiring spouses that they haven't met yet, arms that ache to hold their own children, or the Mom that prayed and prayed for her son to be healed on earth...only for him to be not to be.
What do I know of Holy? I shake my fists at heaven, and ache in my bones with emotion.... but, what do I really believe when these potential faith crisis happen? Can I deal with the possibility that my friend may not be healed of Cancer until she reaches Heaven? Do I still believe in a loving God who might not give His child the biblical desire's of her heart? Or what about the Dad whose heart is ripped out of his chest when his child is taken from him. What do I believe in THESE MOMENTS? I have head knowledge that He's soveriegn. But even in His No's? If I am honest, my head knowledge is out the window...and my heart leads the way.
It's in these moments I realize I don't know alot about Holy.
