Sat. - for the singles of The One Body of Christ in Midland

God!  i pray for HOLINESS! 
a revelation of what it means,
how it looks on the outside,
how it IS on the inside,
where it comes from,
how to walk in it,
for we have lost the word itself,
much less how to live it out loud.

the world needs to see The Holy One,
and how else will they see?
give us knowledge of The Holy One,
for You have said,
"be ye holy,
for I am Holy."

how IS that?
how CAN that be?!
i don't know how You will do this,
but i know You will,
for it is written.

Holy, Holy, Holy
is the Lord God Almighty!

give us thirst for the Holy!
fill the deficit of our knowledge of the Holy!
for we are a people of unclean lips,
dwelling in a land of people with unclean lips.
so, like isaiah,
touch our lips,
that we may utter holy words given by You,
as rain on a thirsty land filled with the unclean.

God!  help us to turn from our unclean ways,
our unclean entertainment,
our unclean thoughts,
toward the holy-
toward The Holy!

our wills! our necks!  help us to turn our wills
toward the Holy,
which will turn our minds,
then our hearts,
then our actions
to the holy mountain where You dwell.

for this....is our destiny.
