Holiness

I found a song that impacts me on a fundamental level as it reminds me of what a supreme God I serve.  I serve an infinite God who created the universe with the word of His mouth.  Who am I to stand before Him?  Who am I to question Him?  Who am I to know Him?

I am ruined before Perfection, and my sin stains my lips, eyes, and soul.  How can I ever comprehend the infinite dimensions of His holiness?

Yet in His love he purifies me.  My soul magnifies my Creator as I kneel before His holiness.  He cleans me and makes me fit to stand in His court.  Praise, honor, and glory be to Yhwh.


 "What Do I Know of Holy?" - - 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
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?
