The Beauty of Holiness


The most beautiful thing
in this world to me,
is to see someone living holy

The way they talk,
the way they walk
I love how they comport themself
Their meekness,
their gentle way
Their firm resolve
to not get swayed
by temptations that are so commonplace

It's the beauty of holiness
on full display
Come, wrap your arms around it,
it could be yours today

The most beautiful thing
in this world to me,
is to see myself living holy

Meditating and praying
Giving comfort and staying
to help the poor and sick of heart

Charity and forgiving
Embracing love as the purest way of living
That's the message of holiness

The most beautiful dream
in this world to me,
is seeing everyone living holy
