What do I know?

This song makes me think. It makes stop and ask myself  "How honest am I being when it comes to my approach to God?" The Pharisees and leaders of the Jews were so confident in their position and approach to God. Yet Jesus called them blind and even blind guides. 

Jesus began his first sermon with the words, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3) That seems to indicate that humility is critical for the Christian. 

How willing am I to admit that I still have a lot to learn? Do I really know God? Is that even possible? One of the key ideas behind humility is that we don't know it all. When it comes to God, we can't. If God is truly infinite, there is always more to know about Him. So whatever I know now is just a start. Even if I know as much as the greatest theologians, it is still just a drop in the ocean. 

My favorite line is the sone is at the very beginning, "I tried to hear from Heaven, but I talked the whole time." So much to learn. but sometimes I can't hear because of my own voice. 

Lyrics

What Do I Know of Holy

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 might 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 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?
