Music for the soul

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I purchased a CD or downloaded music, but yesterday changed all of that. With my upcoming trip in a couple weeks, I wanted to get new music for my iPod to make the hours on the plane more bearable. I also had some reward points built up on my credit card, so I was able to get an Amazon MP3 gift certificate...I love free stuff. Wondering what new songs are on my iPod? I particularly enjoy upbeat, catchy songs that make me want to dance around...so I downloaded three albums: Jordin Sparks {Battlefield}, Addison Road {Addison Road} and Brit Nicole {Say It}. They may all seem somewhat similar, but they are different in vocals, styling and soul. One of the songs that really stood out to me is one of the more emotional and soulful ballads on the Addison Road album.

{ 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?
(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 2)
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?
(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?
What do I know of Holy? What do I know of Holy?
