Wholly Yours

For about a month now I have been enjoying the music of David Crowder Band. One song has stood out among all the others. The lyrics alone are singular but the intensity of the music really makes this song one in a million.

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, hallelujah

Glory, 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 everything

Wholly, 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
