Here is a song I’ve just recently finished. We’re still working on putting music to it, but the message is one of a man astounded at the grace of God to cover his filth with the holiness of Christ. Enjoy…
Holiness
Bring my hands up to my face
In the presence of my God
Found I cannot keep the pace
Curse the ground that I have trod
What is it you hoped to find
In the failures of my heart?
Strength to change was never mine
Only prone to fall apart
Chorus: Why do you persist with me
When I am such a mockery
How is it with one carress
You fill me with your holiness
Why do I persist to fall?
Surely I would learn by now
Wish I could resist your call
So afraid to break this vow
What is it you hoped to use?
This jar of clay is all but lost
How could you so quickly choose?
Did you never count the cost?
Chorus: How is it with one embrace
You cleanse me with your perfect grace?
How is it with one carress
You fill me with your holiness
Surly I am weakest now
It is now that I am strong
Surly I will seek you out
Even though the night is long
Lift my hands into the air
In the presence of my God
For the holiness I wear
Comes not from this broken pot
So fill me up with one embrace
Make me perfect by your grace
Give me one more sweet carress
And fill me with your holiness
