It's hard being holy, so hard being holy
I may not wanna do it, but I gotta do it
I can't rely on my own strength, God'll get me through it
If I just commit to Him, God'll get me through it
When there's trials all up in my life, that's when I lean on Jesus Christ Just one sin could leave me lost, that's why I surrender to the boss
At times I don't feel like it, but then I'm instantly reminded The flames of hell last forever, if I do His will, He'll treat me better
Put my will in submission, give Him all my vision No more dirty thoughts, need to have no spots
Cleaned up by that word now, seek perfection throughout All of my life was bought with a price
Serve the Lord till I die, so I can sweetly rise It's hard being holy, so hard being holy I may not wanna do it, but I gotta do it
God said He was holy, so that's what I'mma be now Even if it's tough, I give my sinning up My flesh wanna act all rowdy, but it can't no more
Tame my flesh for God, to prove to Him I love And will follow His commandments, follow His commandments
God said He was holy, so that's what I'mma be now Lord take away my love, for all of my sins No more ties with darkness, from that life departed
All I want is His, mercy and His grace If I don't satisfy my lust, turn from wicked wantonness Won't be thrown in the fire, Jesus'll give me power
I can't rely on my own strength, God'll get me through it If I just commit to Him, God'll get me through it
When there's trials all up in my life, that's when I lean on Jesus Christ Just one sin could leave me lost, that's why I surrender to the boss
At times I don't feel like it, but then I'm instantly reminded The flames of hell last forever If I do His will, He'll treat me better
