HOLY

Snippet
Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon 
knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected 
Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness.” 
― A.W. Tozer, Preparing for Jesus' Return: Daily Live the Blessed

Scripture
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon 

a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with 

twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and 

with twain he did fly.

3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the 

Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, 

and the house was filled with smoke.

5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man 

of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean 

lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in 

his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched 

thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, 

and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. 

Isaiah 6:1-8 KJV

Song
What Do I Know Of Holy 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]
So 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?
So 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]
So 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?
So 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 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?
[CHORUS]
So 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?
Sentence Prayer
Father, I pray that I might love holiness; show me the 

deceitfulness of sin that I might turn from it. I rejoice that Jesus 

is my holiness. Help me to draw from Him all that I need to follow 

Him in His love of righteousness. Give me a desire to turn from 

my sin by pursuing the disciplines of the Christian life that keep 

me connected with You all day long.  Amen
