Take Time to be Holy

1 Peter 1:13-16 - "Be Holy, For I Am Holy"

What does holiness meant to you? I never seriously considered this, until I read this song/poem written by William Dunn Longstaff (1822-1894)

These r very simple to follow, & down to earth thoughts which I believe many of us can relate to. Enjoy, & be blessed :)

Take time to be holy,

Speak oft with thy Lord;

Abide in Him always,

And feed on His Word.

Make friends of God's children;

Help those who are weak;

Forgetting in nothing

His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy,

the world rushes on;

Much time spend in secret

With Jesus alone;

By looking to Jesus,

Like Him thou shalt be;

Thy friends in thy conduct

His likeness shall see.

Take time to be holy,

Let Him be thy guide,

And run not before Him

Whatever betide;

In joy or in sorrow

Still follow the Lord,

And looking to Jesus,

Still trust in His Word.

Take time to be holy,

Be calm in thy soul;

Each thought and each motive

Beneath His control;

Thus led by His Spirit

To fountains of love,

Thou soon shall be fitted

For service above.
