Holy One

Rush of Fools - Holy One
Face to the ground
I'm not proud
Of all You must see
When You look at me
I tremble at first
As You wash the dirt
The dirt from my feet
And I see my need for Thee

Chorus:
You lift me up
Holy One, Holy One
When I but come
You're enough, You're enough
You fill me up
With your love, with your love
To You I run
Holy One, Holy One

All other noise fades away
Like all of the fear
When Your voice I hear
You're beckoning me
To come and just be
A child at Your feet
Seeing my need for Thee

Chorus
You lift me up
Holy One, Holy One
When I but come
You're enough, You're enough
You fill me up
With your love, with your love
To You I run
Holy One, Holy One

You're enough to satisfy
When the the world has left me only dry
Enough to save my life
When the world has left me here to die

Chorus
You lift me up
Holy One, Holy One
When I but come
You're enough, You're enough
You fill me up
With your love, with your love
To You I run
Holy One, Holy One

This song is just such a beautiful song, and I could write something about it, but the band has a devotion about the song, and I couldn't say it any better. Here it is:

You Wash the Dirt
When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is no greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. I am no speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the scripture will be fulfilled, 'He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me,' I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever recieves the one I send recieves me, and whoever recieves me recieves the one who sent me. -- John 13:12-20

Most of us know the story of Jesus washing His disciples' feet. And one can imagine that we have taken from this passage the application that we ought to be serving one another, just as Christ did here by leaving us his example to follow. Now while that is an excellent point to be made about this text, it is easy to dig a little deeper into the context of this story to really get the whole picture here. This incredible story tells us more than just to serve one another. It shows the depth of the love Christ: that He made clean those who are dirty. Even though He was the Son of God, he taught us humility in a whole new way.

Yes, Jesus washed His disciples' feet. The same dirty fisherman and good ol' boys that He had spent most of His ministry trying to give some guidance to. The same disciples that would later betray and deny Him completely. Why would He decide to wash the feet of these men? It meant that Jesus was cleaning the feet of men who had no significance to recieve a foot-washing from anyone. And let's also think about this together for a moment. Did Jesus or His disciples wear Nikes or Vans? Um, that's a negative. So do you really think their feet were the cleanest portion of their bodies? Right, negative again. Yet he decided to wash those body parts? Why? To make His point that much clearer. You see, just like their feet, Jesus' disciples were men with dirty hearts. They didn't quite understand completely what Jesus was showing them here. He was displaying the picture that He would have to be the One to make them clean. He had to wash the dirt away from their hearts just as He washed the dirt from their feet. And it's the same with us.

When we think of the price Jesus paid to cleanse us from all our unrighteousness, we tremble in fear. And we should. Once God shows us the depth of our sin and convicts us to repentance, we begin to see how we ought to walk with the humility that Christ did in the text here. The difference is that Jesus was only being the example, because He had nothing to be humble about. He was God then, just as He is now. We, however find ourselves with our faces to the ground when we realize how dirty we are, and how much Jesus had to clean us. And because we have been shown that Jesus has cleansed us just like He did His disciples feet, we see that His open arms are the only ones to run to.
