Ok so this song, "You are Still Holy" is one of my favorite songs. The basic theme of the song is that God is still Holy and still in control even when our world seems to be falling apart. The first verse says :
"Holy, You are still holy, even when the darkness surrounds my life,
and soverign You are still soverign, even when confusion has blinded my eyes.
And Lord I dont deserve Your kind affection
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection of Your love."
This verse is saying that yes, God is still in control but also it reminds me that I am so unworthy of His love because so many times I feel like I need to take control because God isnt big enough to take care of my problems or worries but even in that unbelief God still does take care of me and still loves me. The chorus says:
"So I come, into Your chambers, and I dance at Your feet Lord
You are my Savior, and I'm at Your mercy,
And all that has been in my life until now
It belongs to You, for You are still holy."
The chorus of this song talks about how when we are in trouble how we can bodly approach the throne of God and sit with Him and He will comfort us, take care of us, and have mercy on us. It talks about giving everything that has been in our lives to Him and letting Him take control of it because we cannot possibly live without Him. He wants 100% of our life.
The second verse is my absolute favorite. It has spoken to me so much throughout many sturggles and worries I have been through in my life. It says:
"Holy, You are still holy
Even when I dont understand Your ways,
Soverign You are still soverign
Even when my circumstances dont change.
And Lord i dont deserve Your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth
I want my life to be a pure devotion to You.."
This verse talks about how the Lord is still in control and still is God even when we do not understand why things happen. Like why would terrorists attack America...or a raging hurricance destroy an entire city...or someone's baby dying or anything like that. Why do things like this happen? Well we cannot possibly understand the mind of God or many times His way of doing things but we can know that He is still in control and still loves us, even when circumstances like that happen. The second part talks about how even when we pray and ask God for something or someone to get better, or for something not to happen, but it does, that He still is soverign and in control. Many times in our lives God may not heal our family members or friends or answer our prayers the way we think they should be answered but even in that sadness and worry and grief the Lord still is in control and cares for us and loves us. We have to remember that His plan is better than our own and that His plans are not for harm but for good. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
