Be Holy
by Jennie Lee Riddle

Album: Odds & Ends - Random Recordings I Like

You said, "be holy"
Lord, what does that mean?
Does it mean perfection?
Does it mean mistake free?
Or does it mean You, Jesus,
still covering me
with crimson stain, shed that day
my sin first made You bleed

So I come now to be covered
in the blood of an innocent man
Heaven's answer for my need
still flowing to make me clean

But there's these same old tendencies
still causing grief
sin wants it's own way
it's still such a part of me
what's to be done about it
Lord what's the remedy
is the answer the cross I'm supposed to take up?
The one that made You bleed?

So I come now to carry
the cross chosen for me
Heaven's answer for my need
fashioned to make me free

Apply Your blood to make me clean
Apply Your blood to make me clean
Apply Your cross to make me free
Apply Your cross to make me free

Fill me now with Your Spirit
You gave to empower me
Heaven's answer for my need
brings me to victory

You said, "be holy"
