True holiness
Is not a bliss
That raptures us away
It's not a life
Devoid of strife
'Til heaven's perfect day
That raptures us away
It's not a life
Devoid of strife
'Til heaven's perfect day
True holiness
Is eagerness
To do the Father's will
It sees a need
Performs a deed
God's purpose to fulfill
To do the Father's will
It sees a need
Performs a deed
God's purpose to fulfill
True holiness
Is trustfulness
When in the dark we are
It sees the light
Both day and night
By faith it sees afar
Is trustfulness
When in the dark we are
It sees the light
Both day and night
By faith it sees afar
True holiness
Is truly this
A heart devoid of self
It is the soul
To God the whole
Surrendered to Himself
Is truly this
A heart devoid of self
It is the soul
To God the whole
Surrendered to Himself
True holiness
Of this consists
Of resting in God's love
Of trusting when
We fall and sin
That still, God saves above
True holiness
God's holiness
A working out of grace
In us to be
Eternally
The beauty of God's face
Of this consists
Of resting in God's love
Of trusting when
We fall and sin
That still, God saves above
True holiness
God's holiness
A working out of grace
In us to be
Eternally
The beauty of God's face
