What Do I Know of Holy?

Holy is defined as "devoted entirely to the Deity or the work of the Deity". The lyrics of this Addison Road's song, "What Do I Know of Holy" reverberate though my soul. The only means for us to "know holy" is to spend time in God's Word and in His presence. Only there can we learn how to hear His voice through the Holy Spirit or how and why we should fear God. Strolling through life, occupied by the trappings of this world, will never, ever allow us to "know holy". Only through His Word and the Holy Spirit operating in our lives are we able to know Him when He speaks.

The lyrics also impart to us the truth that so many people know something "about" God yet do not KNOW GOD. Head knowledge of a few Bible stories from childhood or a casual glimpse at the words of the Bible are not all that is required to be saved or to know Him. We only can know God in His entirety when we spend time worshipping Him, praying to Him, spending time in His presence, and studying His Word. Once we do these things, we catch "that glimpse of who He might be" and that is life transforming. When that occurs, our hearts become tender toward Him. We do not want to dishonor Him. We do not want to bring grief to Him.

I rejoice that He transformed my life and I have savored a taste of His holiness. He is the Lion of Judah, roaring with fire and fury against the one who turns from Him and He is the Lamb of God, tender and beautiful to His children.

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

(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?

(CHORUS 2)
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?
