God Like Desirability

God requires God like servants
ones that seek His good pleasure
for God is fully all holy and true
looking for those likewise to His measure

Scripture declares God is holy
His servants must also be so
be holy as I am holy
this is required for to grow

To be holy as God demands
our desires need be spot on
having a real want to do it
to this God pulls us to be drawn

We need a true heart obedience
to believe and trust on our Lord
obeying when we feel like it
is not enough to strike God's chord

Holiness is being like unto God
in all His glorious godly perfection
not indeed possible in our nature
but in Christ we have holy connection

('Every man is as holy as he really wants to be' - A.W. Tozer)
