What do I know of Holy?

On my way home from church today I listened to a song I've heard a million times.  It's one that I love.  But - for some reason...today it opened my eyes to things about me that it never has before.  So...I'm going to share the lyrics with you!  :o)  Enjoy!


I've 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. 
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.
 
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 it's name? 
What do I know of Holy? 
Of the One whom the angels praise? 
All creation knows Your name. 
On earth and heaven above...what do I know of this love?


That's me.  I've made Him promises a thousand times.  I tried to hear from heaven...but I talked the whole time.  I think I made Him to small.  I've never feared Him at all.  No.  Hmm...it just really made me think.  What do I know?  I love when it says, "Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be.  The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees!"  Isn't that usually how it goes?  Haha.  My God is amazing.  I love how He can use something simple...like a song I've heard a million times and use it to speak to me.  What do I know of this love?  I know that He takes me as I am.  He sees me...and wants me anyway.  He has prepared a path for me to take!  He loves me that much!  He thinks the small things are important.  He cares about me!  He loves me!  He will never leave me!  He will never abandon me!  He satisfies me!  HE IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!  I told a friend the other day what my favorite thing about the Lord was.  Want me to share it with you?  Okay.  My favorite thing about Him is this:  Jesus is on His throne.  He's stable and He's able.  He is more than enough.  He's not shaken by the things of this world...even if we are.  He's in control.  He's got us in His hands.  :o)  I take comfort in that.  He's always there.  When we fall...He'll be there to pick us back up and dust us off.  He's completely AMAZING!  He's worth it.  He deserves our best.  He deserves more than I could ever give Him. I'm not worthy.  I never will be.  BUT - He loves me anyway.  :o)  It still blows my mind.  I hope it always does!
