Come and live in me
and always be
a part of who I am
Wash me in your blood
your precious blood
and clean my dirty hands
my dark heart would separate me from you but you
pierced it with your light
my enemies would have blinded me
but you gave me sight
Everything you do, everything you've done
means I am not deserving of your love
but I'll hold onto you and let you work me through
until I am what you created me to be.

I have been in a place of awe at what holiness is, so I have written a lot about it.

You are holy Lord, magnificent
creator of all things
My hope and my salvation
the reason that I sing
You are strength when I am weary
the peace I feel at night
I'm in awe of you Father
Your love is better than life

Who am I, in the light of your glory
where in Your presence can I stand
From my knees, I cry holy, holy, holy,
and worship you with everything I am

Nothing can separate me from you oh God
You are deeper than the ocean and higher than the sky
And if you are standing for me then whom shall I fear
You are my rock and my refuge, I am safe when you are near

And I will love you all my life
because you gave your life for me
Let me live to bring glory to your name
For in you there is no sorrow and no shame

There's only so much I can do and I'm holding myself back by holding onto me
And it seems a risky business letting go and letting you become my identity
Pride would tell me I'm not dressing for the job I want, taking a back seat to someone else
and becoming less
but my pride did save me from an eternity of being separated for you holyness

I want to disappear and become nothing
because nothing I can be compares to you
you are holy
Forget making my name known to this world
'cause it's not somewhere I'm gonna stay
Living everyday to exalt you name so
when people look at me
they only see your face

Taking praise and complements has never been something hard for me to do
But it seems that I've been accepting credit
that belongs to you
It's so hard not to crave being something in their eyes
Even if that something leads to my own pain and demise.
I would rather spend a day in Your grace,
then a thousand years of fame in this place

This is on my profile thingy but I changed it a little since then.

I am human
I am helpless
but He offers me strength
I fall
I fail
but His blood covers my imperfections
I resist
I rebel
but He is patiant and forgiving
I am less
I am the least
but I am loved by the Creator of the universe

Holy  
High above me, far beyond what I can contain

So other than what I am there aren't
words to explain
You came down and left your crown to die for me
Your blood for my sin shed so that I could be free

Holy Lord, you are holy
and worthy of my praise
Holy Lord, you are holy
I'm not worthy to speak your name
Worship the lamb who was slain

Daily I fall, I resist you
calling my name
But you don't give up, you just give
your love and take my shame
I lift my hands to you
It's all that I can do
Your love is greater than anything I
could do for you

This was inspired by 1 Peter 1:8-9

I have not seen you
but I love you
I cannot see you now
but I believe in you
and know that you are here
I am filled with an inexpressible
and glorious joy because you
have saved my soul
Let me know how much I need you
Let me desperately hunger and thirst for you
I will never know you the way you know me
but my only desire is to be close to you.
