He is holy, I am wholly His

I love to praise the Lord for all the blessing in my life, even the little ones. But I'm not one of those people that sees bell peppers on sale and says, "PRAISE THE LORD! HE DID THAT FOR ME! HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU, JESUS!" (Though I do love to see bell pepper on sale, I don't want to "over-spiritualize" life). Maybe He does have His hand in my grocery shopping endeavors, I really don't know.

I do know that He moves me unexpectedly.

I have loved the song "Wholly Yours" mainly because of it's clever use of the words "holy" and "wholly", (and the use of the word, 'antonym' in the lyrics).  But today I loved the song for different reasons: the sweet message of grace and redemption; the victorious "Hallelujah's!"; the choice of words to describe us and the Lord.

This makes my little heart jump for joy!

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 the 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 want to 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
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, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
So here I am, all of me
Finally everything
Wholly, wholly, wholly
I am wholly, wholly
I am wholly, wholly, wholly
Yours

I am full of earth and dirt and You"
