What Do I Know of Holy

One of the things i like to do when i spend time with Jesus is to listen to songs that talk about His character and reflect on who He is. Today i was listening to this song, What do I Know of Holy by Addison Road. It really paints a picture of me as a human, in my humanity, how I want to have God all figured out, and put Him in a box...but we can never do that with God-He is so much more perfect, powerful, and unlike His creation that we can't fathom all of the facets of His majesty. It is my prayer that as you listen to this song, as I did, it will lead you to repent of how easy it is to go through the motions with God and not stop to meditate on how unfathomable and flawless He is!
To listen to the song, Just click on the title:



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?

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