What Do I Know of Holy?

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?

So, 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

(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?

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?

(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?

What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?

The only thing I know for sure is that God is Holy.  I am not.  But this God, this Holy, Holy, Holy God, this sacred and beautiful, Wonderful and Furious God saved me by His grace.  He sent His only begotten Son to bear the wounds that would heal my shame.  He speaks to me when I am not even trying to listen, and is the Holy Intruder into my life.  I am lost and undone without Him.  

With Him, there is hope.  

He called us to a holy calling, and He set us apart as holy.  He chose to live in us, making our bodies a temple of the Holy Spirit.  He has asked us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is our reasonable service.  

It's amazing, but God, who is rich in mercy, has set apart weak and flawed human beings to be holy.  Like Him.  We reflect His image, in part.  We are filled with the Holy Spirit and used in His kingdom.  

That's what I know of holy.  

John 14:26  But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Acts 10:44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.

Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship

1 Corinthians 6:19  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?
