"What Do I Know of Holy"

One of my favorite songs is song by Addison Road.  It is called, "What Do I Know of Holy."  Here are the words;

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?

(CHORUS)
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

(CHORUS)
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?

(CHORUS 2)
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?

(CHORUS)
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?



As I sing these lyrics I get teary eyed.  I think of my Lord and God.  My Saviour.  What do I really comprehend about Him?  Do I reflect Him in my every day.  Do I reflect Him in my choices?  Do I consider Him in all I do, what I say, what I think?  My heart has been very heavy for our church.  I cry as I think about hurt that has and is happening there.  It makes me think of this song.  If I REALLY new my Jesus the way I should, would I hurt others?  If I new what Holy truly meant, would I allow hurt to continue?  Sometimes I get so wrapped up in "MY" life, "MY" thoughts, "MY" rights and wrongs and those committed against me I fail to reply with Jesus.  Do I know my Lord and Saviour?  Do I REALLY know Him?  Would I know Him if he were to look into my eyes?  Would I fall down to my knees if he were to come to my home?  Would I know it was Him?  I remember as a child saying, or repeating, "God is Love."  He is love, but he is so much more.  All creation knows His name.  Even Satan knows His name.  My Sunday school lesson was on temptation with the 6th graders.  We talked about Jesus being tempted in the desert after 40 days and nights of fasting.  Satan quoted scripture to Him.  Even Satan knows scripture.  I can quote scripture, but do I live it out?  Jesus did.  He replied back to Satan with scripture and didn't fall into temptation!  One of the kids memory verses is James 4:7,8.  Submit yourselves then to God.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you.  Come near to God and He will come near to you.  May it be that I reflect on this verse every time I speak, in all actions I take and spend the rest of my life trying to figure out what Holy truly means.
