[Verse]
What does it mean to be holy?
Can that word ever apply to me?
For I am a wretched sinner
Bound for a dark eternity
[Verse]
I am an outlaw, a liar
A thief, fornicator and more
Every law that I've broken
I've broken many times before
[Verse]
But even if only one
Of your laws had I ignored
I would be just as guilty
Of turning away from you Lord
[Chorus]
So what does it mean to be holy?!
A term I may never claim…
Unless I add two letters…
And end it with your name
I am Wholly yours, Jesus
I am Wholly bought with your blood
I am Wholly yours oh God
I am Wholly and completely loved!
[Bridge]
What does it mean to be holy?
Can that word ever apply to me?
For I am a wretched sinner
Bound for a dark eternity
[Chorus]
So what does it mean to be holy?!
A term I may never claim…
Unless I add two letters…
And end it with your name
[Repeat Chorus]
I am Wholly yours, Jesus
I am Wholly bought with your blood
I am Wholly yours oh God
I am Wholly and completely loved!
[Repeat Chorus]
I am Wholly yours, Jesus
I am Wholly bought with your blood
I am Wholly yours oh God
I am Wholly and completely loved!
An outlaw, a felon, a choreographed thief,
Stealing the moves like a crim,
Seizing the twirls with a straightened top hat,
Tap dancing around on a whim,
Gliding a smile with shining eyebrows,
Hands tip top tapping his cane,
This remarkable man of pure elegance,
No one could fully explain,
Because he drew from ballroom, swing, Latin and jazz,
He used every bit of the room,
Dancing on walls, hat stand and on ice,
He even danced with a broom,
But this dignified man that everyone loved,
Loved dancing with one woman in pearls,
His one Ginger Rogers in a free flowing dress,
With her beautiful dancing blonde curls.
