APR. 3 – FACE TO FACE

04/03                   Hebrews 12:14

“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”

  1. Holiness is necessary to see God – It is not optional.
  2. Holiness and peace go together – A holy life fosters peace.
  3. Striving means effort – Holiness must be pursued diligently.
  4. Sanctification is key – We are continually being made holy.

GLORY FACE TO FACE

(Verse 1)
Peace and holiness, side by side,
A road not wide, but sure,
A call to live in His presence,
To seek His face above all.

(Verse 2)
Without His mark upon our lives,
Without the purity He gives,
The world may see but never know,
The fullness of His grace.

(Verse 3)
We strive, we seek, we stand,
Not in fear but in pursuit,
For every step of holiness,
Leads us closer to His throne.

(Verse 4)
Not our strength, not our will,
But the fire He places within,
A heart that longs for righteousness,
A soul that thirsts for Him.

(Chorus)
Without holiness, none will see,
Without His mark, we walk in vain,
But in His light, we find our place,
And see His glory face to face.
