What Do I Know of Holy

Once again...I'm posting the lyrics with my new favorite song playing in the background...so turn on your speakers and take a minute....

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
So 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 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

This song is playing at our house all day long every day. It's really good background music when you have small children :)
