i saw the lord seated on the throne

and he was clothed in glory and exalted high

and the train of his robe fills the temple

and angels gather round him and cry

you are holy

oh so holy

you are holy lord of all

and woe is me

for i am unclean

for my eyes have seen the holy king

and he cleansed my lips

right before my eyes

and the pillars shook

as the angels cried

you are holy

oh so holy

you are holy lord of all

as i am listening to that song i am writing this. i was thinking back over the summer of something that meant so much to me and was so important to me and i thought i would share it with you.

well as most of you know i went away this past summer for a month to work at a camp in florida. it was a christian camp. well before i left i was packing everything i needed and was going over the checklist. well right before i walked out the door i realized i had forgotten to buy a notebook. so mom handed me this cheezy one that someone in the church had given her. it had parrots in the jungle on the front of it. well i didnt think much about it or really even look at it i just stuffed it in my bag.

so at camp every morning we had a thing called "quiet time" where we all went off on our own and prayed and read our bibles and for some of us wrote in our journals. well also i think you should know that ladies of lee does a song that has the same words as you are holy and i sang it all the time and absolutely loved it so needless to say that scripture was my favorite scripture. but you see the funny thing is i didnt even know the scripture address of it. well one morning in quiet time i was singing you are holy (because i absolutely love it with all of my heart) and just praying and worshipping. well i grabbed that notebook mom had given me (my journal for the time) and was gonna write the scripture and the words to both of those songs on the back of the front cover. well as i was writing the lyrics i realized i didnt know the scripture address. well i found myself becoming very discouraged because i couldnt find it anywhere in my bible. well right as i was about to give up looking for it i closed the cheezy notebook and just happened to look on the cover. and as clear as day there was the scripture on the front with the scripture address! i dont even know how i had not seen it at all until then. i had written in that notebook for days and had not seen it! so i was so happy and began to just praise jesus for revealing it to me.

ever since then everytime i hear that song the glory of god just fills me up and i feel like i am in heaven. a few weekends ago mom and i went to sing at a t.l. lowery conference and one night ty parker was singing you are holy. it could quite possibly be one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard. well as we were singing it i felt so close to god. everyone was praising and it i felt like we were in heaven like thats what heaven is going to sound like. it was so amazing. even afterwards mom and julie howard said they had thought the same thing. so as you can see this song means so much to me and has done so much for me and is so powerful. it's my favorite.
