| | Wholly Yours Lyrics Artist(Band):David Crowder Band
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 If you find some error in Wholly Yours Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Wholly Yours grace and striving | Reviewer: Ash | 7/25/09 Just gonna throw in my thoughts on this conversation. when he says "the harder I try/the more clearly can I/feel the depth of our fall/and the weight of it all" he's not saying that the closer he gets to Christ the more he is aware of his own sinfulness. what he's saying is that if we strive and try to get get closer to God in our own strength, it aint gonna happen. We need to trust in God's grace for growth, just as we trusted in God's grace for redemption. So when he says "and so this might could be the most impossible thing/ your grandness in me making me clean. We are full of earth and dirt, but His grandness in us makes us clean. His grace makes it happen, not our efforts. we will always have sinful nature, but Christ goodness atones (covers over) that part of us. he doesn't take it away, but he takes the consequences of our sin away. so we are still full of earth and dirt, but God doesn't see it, and it doesn't control us anymore! wow! thats good news! Response | Reviewer: dave | 5/8/09 Yeah, I mean, in response to the "I am worm" theology comment, I think he addresses exactly what he's talking about by saying: "But the harder I try / The more clearly can I / Feel the depth of our fall / And the weight of it all" He's saying the more he's growing in Christ the more he realizes how truly fallen his flesh is (like the comment below me says, Paul addresses this same dichotomy in Romans) and that grace has covered him and the grandness of Christ in him is what's making him clean. I think the lyrics of this song are phenomenal. answer to statement | Reviewer: bobo | 4/20/09 So- you said that you have a difficult time singing this song because it says, "I am full of dirt" basically indicating that the writer is saying look I am a christian but I am still disgusting. Well if you read Romans you will see that Paul address this problem, essentially a christian's life is the constant struggle of his flesh and his spirit! So yes, we are full of dirt and depravity even after we are Christians. Unfortunately we will not fully be rid of it until we die and ascend to heaven. But the good news is that dirt is essentially now subservient to the holy spirit. RE: might could | Reviewer: Micah | 1/7/09 Haha...I think its great that there's a discussion about "might could"! I just moved to NC from NY about a year ago and I can't stop laughing at the way people say "might could" around here. Example: "You might could have enough money." or I might could go over there later." My boss likes to say "may could" (more polite?) and I have to really hold it together to keep from laughing out loud! When I heard this song I had to look it up to see if he actually said it...and he did! Glad to see others caught it. :) ~micah I can't sing this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/17/08 As a redeemed, fully forgiven, cleansed and justified person in Christ, I simply can't sing this song, particularly portions that say in present tense form that I am "full of earth, stained with dirt, prone to depravity, full of earth and dirt". To me this is what I call 'I am a worm' theology. It's having a saint confess a sinner identity, rather than embracing an identity as a redeemed person who still struggles with sin. Simply amazing!!! | Reviewer: bwalya bwali | 9/20/07 It's breath takin song.the fact that it starts out who God is,the realness of his gloriues holyness,his marvolusness.and the dip longing of the human spirit after GOD that beckons u to just cry in admiration you are Holy holy holy...simply amazin Might Could... | Reviewer: Eli | 9/19/07 Try reading the line with either "might" or "could." They both give the same meaning. Crowder is a poet. In poetry, if you don't have to follow the standard rules of grammar. In fact, you can emphasize something in your lyrics by going against the normal way of saying something. (It caught your attention, didn't it? I guess it worked). Here, he is emphasizing that God's work of making sinful, dirty man clean, is quite possibly the most impossible thing in all history. And yet our God's love can conquer even this. RE: Might Could? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/28/07 Might is referring to the Grandness of God, I believe. He is saying that the might (strength) of the whole situation seems so impossible. Amazing song! Might Could? | Reviewer: Brody Harper | 6/11/07 What does that even mean? I love David, but that makes no sense. Awesome | Reviewer: Tim | 4/20/07 "...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..."
