What do I know of Holy?

I heard this song for the first time today and the lyric's are so powerful.

The song is filled with questions.. questions that remind me that it's easy to know God through his Word and stories of Jesus but occasionally we catch glimpses of the personal God who speaks directly to our hearts. These are moments when we know that our minds and hearts were made perfectly by God, but made so that we cannot comprehend all that God was, is, and is to come.

We just know by faith.. and although I don't question my faith, I think it's human for us to question who God is. My heart knows God but my uncomprehending mind asks similar questions to these below. In his faithfulness, he slowly reveals answers to our questions. Some day we will see "Holy" face to face.



What do I know of Holy
By: Addison Road
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 "its" 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?
