i've heard this song before. today the words struck a cord. (pun intended) so often i put God in this perfect little box. kidding myself into thinking i've got it all figured out. if only He'd do it this way, you know, MY WAY, things would have turned out so much better. what a joke. He is a BIG-AMAZING-SO-WONDERFUL-THAT-I-CAN'T-WRAP-MY-MIND-AROUND-HIM-SORT-OF-GOD!! how very good of Him to 'lend me' this song today, reminding me of how small i am & oh how VERY BIG He is....
**********************************************************************************
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?

Thanks for the post Trac! Needed to read that one today. :)
I double fat puffy heart this song.
I need to be reminded that, no, Amanda, you DON'T have it all figured out. Would you just PLEASE stop trying to fix it all by yourself and trust God to do the things He says HE can do?
My favorite line from this song is "Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?" because it reminds me how big God is and how small I am. One of my most favorite songs.
Love that song. Saw Addison Road in concert a year ago. Definitely recommend them.
Thanks for sharing!!!
my friend just blogged about this song too - pretty humbling isn't it. What a great reminder that we serve a God who is in charge and is something we can never become!!
