When God took His people
To the promised land
He gave them their freedom
He gave a command
He said, West of the Jordan
You can have all you see
But beware of their idols
And be holy to Me
Holiness, holiness
It's the only life
That the Lord can bless
Holiness, holiness
It's the Lord's command
Not the Lord's request
They heard the commandment
But did not obey
They hardened their hearts
And wandered away
From the goodness of God
And the blessings He gave
Through traditions of men
And the yoke of a slave
Holiness, holiness
It's the only life
That the Lord can bless
Holiness, holiness
It's the Lord's command
Not the Lord's request
Holiness, holiness
It's a life apart
From the world's excess
For the people of God
There remains a rest
Holiness, holiness
Jesus is calling you
Come take My hand
I'll lead you away
From the wilderness land
To a place full of goodness
As far as the sea
But remember Who brought you
And be holy to Me
Holiness, holiness
It's not your food or drink
It's not the way to dress
Holiness, holiness
It's to hear the Lord
And to answer yes
Holiness, holiness
It's the only life
That the Lord can bless
For the people of God
There remains a rest
For the people of God
There remains a rest
Holiness, holiness
