But by the Spirit, we are changed,
Put on the garment of the King,
And walk as those redeemed.

No longer held by sin’s embrace,
For we have found our place in Him,
Created for His work.

Each step reflects the One we follow,
Each word reveals the path of light,
For holiness is not a whisper,
But the fabric of our lives.

Put on the new, put on His name,
Walk in the truth of who you are,
Set apart and made for glory,
A people holy to the Lord.

For He is clothed in majesty,
His name is higher than the sky,
And we are called to worship Him.

Not with empty hearts or hands,
But in the beauty of His presence,
And the weight of all He is.

Let every heart bow low,
For He alone is worthy,
And His name will reign forever.

But to rise in His reflection,
To walk in light all of our days.

Renewed each day in His mercy,
Set apart for Him alone.

A sacrifice, a holy flame,
Not our will, but Yours be done,
We are Yours, forever Yours.

But in His light, we find our place,
And see His glory face to face.

For we are His chosen ones.

the city of light awaits,
and no darkness will enter.

let the unready tremble,
