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.
But 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.
God spoke me into being. He calls Himself, "I Am." There are so many different ways to interpret that. He is fire and fury, sacred and beautiful. How on this Earth should I know what "Holy" means? I don't even know what His name means. I cannot fathom a being that can say "Light" and there is light. Except Harry Potter. But that's just a tiny bit of light on the end of a wand. God doesn't have a wand. Not to say He couldn't have one if He wanted one...but I digress.
I have always wanted to use that phrase. But I digress. Again.
Ha
Anyways...back to the point: my point is, I don't know. And neither do you. There is no way for us to wrap our minds around something so great that even just it's name can be interpreted an infinite number of ways.
Think about this...if you're a Christian...if you're name is in the Book of Life...you are already in heaven. That means that for all you know you could be partying up there right now. That means that those we know who have already died don't have time to miss us...because we are already there. Time means absolutely nothing in heaven.
Time as we know it was created by man. God is on a whole different kind of clock. The proof of that is the fact that we have free will. God has a plan for us. But we can choose to do whatever we want. But He has a plan. But we can differ from the plan. But that's in His plan too. He knows what we are going to do before we do it but there is still the chance that we might change our minds and but He will meet us at the end of whatever path we decide to choose. Even if you take the right one and then hang a U-ey at the tree of life and cut across the ditch and then turn around again and...yeah. He's already there. Cuz He knows. He planned it. He planned for your plan. I'm trying (to no avail) to make this make sense. BUT IT DOESN'T. BECAUSE I DON'T GET IT. And I never will. And honestly, I don't want to. Can you imagine the headache? Ugh.
And as for the last part of that song...have you ever caught a glimpse? Sometimes when I think about something...there are a few things that stand out..., it takes my breath away at how perfectly planned out it was. Things that I am not even going to try to explain because they won't make sense to anyone else. But even those tiny little things that happen, that take my breath away and that bring me to my knees...even those times that I have experienced what I can only describe as God doing His thing in my life...even though I EXPERIENCED it...I still feel like I don't get it. What do I know of Holy?
