Please…
Don’t think I think I’m ‘holier than
thou’,
No, my Friend, just that I’m 'holier now',
(…It’s apparent!)
Than I was quite some time ago.
Just wanted to share, so you’d know.
Don’t think ‘holy’ means something
sanctimonious,
Or has anything to do, with
self-righteousness.
(…It doesn’t!)
Holy just simply means to be separated,
As in set-aside for use that’s
dedicated.
It is just as important this to
understand--
Both ‘from what’ and ‘to what’ holiness
demands.
(…There’re two sides!)
Otherwise you might stumble in your
impression,
Thinking holy may mean from you,
a regression.
Sin separates us from God’s awesome
power,
Great benefits on us He loves to
shower.
(…Thus Christ died!)
Separated, we become totally useless,
First to Him, and in life, sinfully
aimless.
Holiness rejoins us to Him in perfect
union,
Allowing Him our heart, mind, and life
to refashion,
(…No longer dead!)
So we can learn to obey His ‘sin injunction’,
Then help lead you to your own ‘decision
junction’.
Friend, we can’t be holy in our own,
prideful power.
We can simply yield to these
faith-filled words and prosper.
(…The Lord said~)
“Be
holy, as I AM holy”,
and in saying this, 1
He empowered us His ‘holy target’...not
to miss.
Preaching ‘Love’s just a second hand
emotion’,
Is just a really un-holy illusion,
(…Tina was deluded!)
Love is God, Himself, and holy is His
nature.
So
if you’re His ‘son’,
live
like He is your Father. 2
The ‘happy holidays’ season has come
and gone.
All the gifts are unwrapped, and a New
Year has dawned.
(…'satan clause' is eschewed!)
In answer to the title question raised,
‘Tis now time to ‘live happy holy days’.
There're many reasons why a holy life we should live.
Consider the rank of gifts God promises
to give,
(…to us deeded!)
Unlimited gifts now and in the bye-‘n-bye.
So allow His Sprit your life ...to fructify.
See, it’s only by His Spirit and GRACE
power,
Before His ‘holy’ command we will not
cower,
(…as defeated!)
So ‘what’s
holiness got to do with it??’ You should know. 3
We walk in holiness simply because...He
said so!
Practicing holiness ‘works out of us’
That which God has, by Grace, ‘worked into us’.
(…as in kneaded!)
Refusing to learn to walk in His
holiness
Means you’ll never experience…His ‘coziness’.

1 Leviticus 11:44-45, 20:26; 1 Peter 1:16 (4 times!)
2 Romans
8:14. In calling all born again believers, ‘sons’, God elevates women and girls
to a higher status than they had in earlier societies.
