A Little Holiness

A little holiness is not enough.
As we are loved so we are called to love.
Jesus says, “Be perfect as Your Father up above.”
So… 
A little holiness is not enough.

A little bit of grace just will not do.
The Spirit comes to fill our hearts anew.
Scripture tells us, “Hold on to all that is good and true.”
So… 
A little bit of grace just will not do.

We’re called to live a life of sanctity.
Obedience to God will set us free.
Jesus tells us all, “Take up your cross and follow me.”
So…
We’re called to live a life of sanctity.

Love the Lord with all your heart and mind.
Try to leave your sinful ways behind.
Jesus says to everyone, “If you seek, you will find.”
So… 
Love the Lord with all your heart and mind.
