Be holy, for I am holy

Be holy, for I am holy

1 Peter 1:13-15    Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

Drugs, women, toys, and booze
These were the things I used to choose;
Numbing pains & hiding fears
Wasting my life for so many years.

Christ rescued me from them
He delivered me from sin;
He changed my life eternally
He started from within.

My life changed forever
I have eternal focus now;
I seek not temporal pleasure
But to serve Him somehow.

By Holy for I am holy
Words to live by every day;
The world teaches self pleasure
In that you will never find the Way.

Change begins at the Cross
What Christ accomplished and gave you there;
You can never change without Him
All other roads lead to nowhere.

When you come to him broken
And you are empty inside;
He will fill you with great hope
You will not be able to hide.

Seek to live your life in honor
of what He gave you that day;
Be holy for I am holy
Is your desire to repay.
