What do I know of holy?

There's this song.
I've gone to bed listening to it the past 2 nights.
It's one of those songs.The kind that I put on my ipod and go into a coma until it's over, just to click the back button and repeat the process all over again.
It's called What do I know of holy, by Addison Road.
And let me tell you, you should immediately look it up and listen to it. http://www.playlist.com
hit this, and type in the name.
And then, take the time to really hear the song.
Because this song speaks straight to my heart.
I mean it, if I could have written a song that tells exactly how I feel, this would be it, line for line.
I put the lyrics down here, feel free to follow along. I hope it makes you think, like it does me.


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?
