04/02                   1 Peter 1:15-16

“But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’”

1. Holiness is not just inward but shown in conduct – It affects daily living.
2. God is the source of holiness – We are called to imitate Him.
3. Holiness requires intentionality – It does not happen by accident.
4. The command is repeated from the Old Testament – It is timeless.

NO SHADOW

(Verse 1)
The One who called us walks in light,
No shadow lingers in His steps,
He calls us higher, deeper still,
To follow where His Spirit leads.

(Verse 2)
Not by word, not by thought,
But in the way we move and breathe,
In every step, in every work,
Let His holiness be seen.

(Verse 3)
No compromise, no turning back,
The world will pull, but He remains,
His ways are firm, His path is clear,
He calls us to be the same.

(Verse 4)
Let every choice reflect His love,
Let every moment show His grace,
For we are called, we are set,
To walk in holiness each day.

(Chorus)
Be holy as He is holy,
Not in word, but in deed,
Set apart for His purpose,
Walking in the light of His way.

04/01                   Leviticus 19:2

“Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.’”

1. Holiness is a command – God requires His people to be set apart.
2. God’s holiness is the standard – We are to reflect His nature.
3. Holiness applies to all believers – It is not optional or for a select few.
4. Obedience leads to holiness – Walking in God’s ways sets us apart.

YOU SHALL BE HOLY

(Verse 1)
A voice calls through the ages,
A call to stand apart,
To walk in the light of His name,
And live in the holiness He gives.

(Verse 2)
He is not like the shifting winds,
Not swayed by time or change,
His ways are pure and strong,
And He calls us to be the same.

(Verse 3)
Set apart, yet never alone,
We walk the path He has made,
Not in our strength, not in our ways,
But in the One who goes before.

(Verse 4)
We will not turn to lesser things,
Nor trade His truth for lies,
For He is our God,
And we are His forever.

(Chorus)
Be holy, for He is holy,
Stand firm in His word,
Walk in the light of His calling,
For we are His chosen ones.

I Am Coming Soon

1

The voice speaks again,
like thunder wrapped in promise,
like a whisper cutting through time,
“Behold, I am coming soon.”

2

Not as a child in a manger,
not veiled in weakness,
but as King, as Judge,
as the Beginning and the End.

3

The words are faithful,
not distant hope, not empty delay,
but certain, unfolding,
written before the world began.

4

The seals have been broken,
the trumpets have sounded,
the bowls have been poured,
and still, mercy lingers.

5

Blessed are those
who keep these words,
who watch, who wait,
who stand unshaken.

6

The faithful hold fast,
their hands on the lamp of truth,
their hearts set on the One
who was, who is, who is to come.

7

The nations rage,
the earth trembles,
the dragon wars against the Lamb,
but the victory is already sealed.

8

The river of life flows,
the tree of healing stands,
the city of light awaits,
and no darkness will enter.

9

Let the ready rejoice,
let the unready tremble,
for the time is near,
the voice has spoken.

10

“Behold, I am coming soon.”
Not a warning, but a certainty,
not a threat, but a promise—
the end is the beginning.
