The Newly Saved

Real Holiness
Does holiness mean pious,  those  souls ,
Whose deeds and thoughts are so correct.
Why do we call them Holy Scriptures.
The scholars try in explanations deep,
To teach us all they know
In such good faith we do suspect.

What if it has a meaning,
So far beyond, those long accepted facts.
The truth about its nature and foundation,
Not understood, but slipping through.
The logic of the mind, down dialectic cracks.
 

The word has all the answers,
If we listen with our hearts.
As Holy  as you’d like to be,
It cannot come about in separate little parts.
 

Only consecrated people living consecrated lives,
Will  know the joy of letting go of self.
Of laying down inflated egos,
Replacing them with love of God,
A way to life, where joy and peace still thrives 
 

Be holy as your God is holy,
We’ve all been clearly told.
But living up to this command,
Will wring your soul or make you fold,
 

Coz being holy causes separation.
From many things that fuel a man’s desire,
And if success is now to be achieved,
Desire replaced with heavens greatest fire.
 

Don’t hesitate, as hesitation brings us loss,
The day you give your life to Him.
Anxiety ,and all those nagging worldly fears ,
Will loose their grip on you, cast into the smelters vat,
For once and all removing all the dross.
