What Do I Know of Holy?

All I can say about this song is wow. I had heard it on the radio but never actually listened to the lyrics. I love songs that make you think:) Raw and beautiful. And oh how familiar I am with these situations. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've "prayed" to God on my schedule and didn't shut up long enough for Him to tell me anything. And truly what do we know of Holy? I love the imagery about standing only on the shore of the ocean. I can remember even recent times in my life in which I thought I knew for certain what God wanted. I grew up in the church. I learned all the stories, knew all the Bible verses from memory, quoted lots of great apologists, and yet it was all fake until pretty much the end of high school. I was great at portraying the typical "Christian" persona. Then after I graduated, I know something needed to change. I remember the first time I truly experienced God's power and presence at a prayer meeting during college my freshmen year. I only wished that I could experience that daily. And ever since then, that is what I have strived for. To know this God of mine at a level I never thought possible. To see Him in places that I have never seen Him in before. I have never regretted it, and I hope that many can follow Him and do the same. Be careful though if you ask and be ready for God to ruin your life so He can do great and beautiful things through you. And some day I will see what "Holy" is face to face. We will all see. And O what a glorious day that will be. May we remember daily how little we truly know of Him and be humbled by it:)

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?

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
But 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

BRIDGE
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?
