What do i know of Holy

Wow so much to say, so much going thru my head at the moment, Guide me o Thou great Jehovah being one of them, anyway great epic songs aside there is a real reason why i'm writing this blog (at 2.30 on friday morning) its about hope and encouragement and to convey my view on whats going on at the moment... as most people know with me songs mean a lot, at the moment i've been listening to a band called Addison Road, they did a song called "what do i know of Holy" i guess you could say this has been the soundtrack of my life for the past 6 months and indeed even now in some respects, i have attatched a link to youtube so you can hear it for yourself, but hear are the lyrics anyway

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?



at the moment church is really exciting (am not saying its been boring the rest of the time) we are on the edge of something that i really dont want to miss out on, from chatting to a few other people this isnt just the church in lancaster but the church up and down this country, there seems to be a real move of God just waiting to burst into our lives and i dont want to miss it. this song has the line "...where have even stood but the shore along your ocean?".. and thats just it i feel i've been on the edge of His promises, dipping my toe in, maybe even going knee deep but never experiencing the depth He is getting ready to unleash on this country, where the water gets too deep to walk in, too much to rely on or services and structures, routines, music then preaching then notices, too much for us to comprehend, I Want to know about holy, I long to have the slightest hint bring me down to my knees, if i'm honest with you i'm scared, i fear i've made him to small, i try to hear from heaven but i talk the whole time, if he looked into my eyes could i behold him,if he touched my face would i notice, i guess i thought that i'd figured him out, i knew all the stories and i learned to talk about how he is mighty to save, but they were only words on a page, thats me, that song is me but i want to be like the army in Ezekiel 37 that God breathes life into... on their own they were utterly useless nothing in them, but God... BUT GOD... he breathed life he made muscles and bone marrow and formed them into an army... not just a rag tag bunch of mercenaries but an army... a people for purpose, what God pours out on us is going to be for purpose, its going to be for his Glory, for his kingdom, i'm really really really excited about that..... in the same breath i dont want to miss out.... i dont want to be left behind standing with my knees covered in water... i want to swim...i long to be immersed in him and what he has planned


Now he brought me back to the entrance to the Temple. I saw water pouring out from under the Temple porch to the east (the Temple faced east). The water poured from the south side of the Temple, south of the altar.He then took me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the gate complex on the east. The water was gushing from under the south front of the Temple.He walked to the east with a measuring tape and measured off fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water that was ankle-deep.He measured off another fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water waist-deep.He measured off another fifteen hundred feet. By now it was a river over my head, water to swim in, water no one could possibly walk through.
