I have been brought to my knees today with thankfulness and praise, overwhelmed with what the Lord has done in our lives. I know that God is amazing, and good, and Sovereign, and Holy, and so much more. But I am realizing that I can't even begin to grasp really who He is. He is way too small in my mind (even though I think He is big)...Make sense!? I heard this song tonight in my car and it just summed up my thoughts today!
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?
Oh- I love this song. My sister made a CD for each of us of songs that were special to her, and this was one of them. I believe there are times in our life where God blesses us with a glimpse of the "big picture". All He's done for us, how much he loves us, what's really important in life...and it's just that, a glimpse, because we can't begin to understand it all. But that glimpse is so overwhelming. Love your heart Joy. Praying for you guys each step of the way-
ReplyDeleteJoy...I've heard this song several times on the radio but they never say who the artist is. Do you know who sings it?

Joy - This post was exactly the spiritual poke I needed today - thank you! Ironically enough, it was playing in my car tonight on my way home:) My bold prayer this week is to know more of Holy.
ReplyDelete...Kara to answer your question, it's by Addison Road on their self titled album.
What a great post! I felt the closest to God in my life during our adoption process. Enjoy the journey, even the bumps along the way because before you know it, it will be over. But, you will have a whole new journey to start. :)
