What do I Know of Holy?



This song stops me in my tracks every time I hear it. Listening to the words, I can't help but acknowledge how much I just simply get in the way. Who do I think I am? Seriously? Like I could ever do it better than God. And yet, daily, hourly, I think for some reason that I am in charge. This song reminds me of how small I really am, to a God who is bigger than life. Even though I am speck, He hold me in his hand none the less... I have added the song to my playlist...the haunting sound of her voice makes it even more powerful. Enjoy!


What Do I Know of Holy?
By Addison Road

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?

  1. Oh my gosh... major goosebumps with this song!

    So true though... I have the same problem trying to control it all, and not listening to Him... sigh...

    Thank you,
