When God took His people to the promised land
He gave them their freedom and He gave a command
He said, West of the Jordan, you can have all you see
But the ware of their idols won't 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
To traditions of men and the yolk 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
The remains of 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 you see
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 of rest
For the people of God
There remains of rest
Holiness, holiness
