Father, forgive me for my disobedience
For living for the lusts that were in my ignorance
You rain down Your mercy but You call me to be holy
To get up, take up my cross and follow after You
I want to be holy as You are holy
For I was purchased with Your blood, oh precious Lamb of God
I want to be holy cause You called me to be holy
And You laid down Your life that from sin I'd be set free
I want to be holy as You are holy
In view of Your mercies, God, I offer up my life
Holy and pleasing now, a living sacrifice
Cause You stepped out of Heaven and crucified
You taught me that You hate my sin but You love my heart
Now I have been forgiven
So I want to be holy as You are holy
For I was purchased with Your blood, oh precious Lamb of God
I want to be holy cause You called me to be holy
And You laid down Your life that from sin I'd be set free
I want to be holy as You are holy
As obedient children do not be conformed to the
Former lusts which were yours in your ignorance
But like the Holy One who called you
Be holy yourselves in all your behavior
Because it is written, you shall be holy for I am holy
If you address His father, the one who
Impartially judges according to each one's work
Conduct yourselves in fear during your time of stay on earth
Knowing that you are not redeemed with
Perishable things like silver or gold
From your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers
But with precious blood as of a lamb
Unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ
For you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood
A holy nation, a people for God's own possession
So that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who
Called you out of darkness into His marvelous light
For you were once not a people, but now you are the people of God
You had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy
For you have been called for this purpose
Since Christ also suffered for you
