Be Holy As Your God Is Holy

I read of a saviour's love... 
his righteousness and glory.
I also read of a God who is
 awesome and holy.

Without holiness, no man shall
 approach his throne.
If one day you expect to make 
heaven your home.

When it comes to holiness... 
many have a "different interpretation."
It's the sincerity of your heart
 that get's God's attention.

Many in church have made 
the idea of holiness a joke.
"I can be Christian and curse, 
drink and smoke!"

It's what goes into your heart that 
pollutes your eternal soul.
The blood of Christ needs to daily cleanse
 and make you whole!

When you totally fall in love with 
Jesus and lay at his feet.
It'll be your hunger for his
 righteousness that'll be sweet!

Then an appetitte for God's 
holiness in you will arise.
A desire for God's beauty
 shall captivate your eyes.

It's only in Christ alone where
 you'll find a true treasure.
You won't want the things anymore
 that once gave you "pleasure."

Holiness from God is yours--
just  for the asking.
It will lead you into a life that is
 complete and everlasting!
