Holy Longing

 

O' Father you are holy, but what does that mean?

You are who You always have been, separate from the world,

distinctly different and uncompromising. You have not changed.

You are Truth and cannot lie, immutable, unchangeable through the course of eternity.

You are true and righteous. You have never lied, for you are incapable. It is not in Your nature.

You are always trustworthy! You have never manipulated or betrayed,

for You are faithful! Your affections for us have been constant.

It is we who have moved away from you. We are the ones who fail to love as You are love.

We are the ones who wound and destroy the subjects of your affection.

But you remain holy! You have not changed.

Your Son Jesus is the Way, the means for us to return back to your standard,

for us to realign ourselves with your Holiness.

You've commanded us, to “Be holy as You are holy!”

So back to You I run, through Christ I run.
