wholly yours


I am full of earth
You are heaven’s worth
I am stained with dirt, prone to depravity
You are everything that is bright and clean
The antonym of me
You are divinity
But a certain sign of grace is this
From a broken earth flowers come up
Pushing through the dirt
You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries “Holy, holy God”
You are holy, holy, holy
I wanna be holy like You are
You are everything that is bright and clean
And You’re covering me with
Your majesty
And the truest sign of grace was this
From wounded hands redemption fell down
Liberating man
You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries “Holy, holy God”
You are holy, holy, holy
I want to be holy like You are
But the harder I try the more clearly can I feel
The depth of our fall and the weight of it all
And so this might could be the most impossible thing
Your grandness in me making me clean
Glory, hallelujahGlory, glory, hallelujah
You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries “Holy, holy God”
You are holy, holy, holy
I want to be holy, holy God
So here I am, all of me
Finally everythingWholly, wholly, wholly
I am wholly, wholly, wholly
I am wholly, wholly, wholly Yours
I am wholly Yours
I am full of earth and dirt and You


i went for a little run yesterday. it was beautiful out! i couldn't breathe in enough of the spring air. the smell was intoxicating! normally when i run i listen to my "booty" music. but yesterday i was in more of a contemplative mood so i decided to turn on my david crowder mix. this guy has amazing lyrics. he definitely speaks to me in terms of pointing out the coolest things in god's creation! when i was listening to they lyrics of this song - i was blown away by the symbolism he used for grace. and it made me think of last august when ben and i were hiking in colorado. we were walking along this dirt path in the mountains and this random flower was sticking straight up out of the dirt. it was so pretty! and now - it's even prettier with the new symbolism attached to it for me!

hope you all have a great day!

xoxo
ah
