Stranger to Holiness
Looks like the boy's in trouble again
Living much too close to the edge of sin
Now he finds himself where he should not have been
Oh God, why is Your peace so hard to find
And the answer to the questions that haunt my mind
Oh Lord, Your ways are not like mine
And it pounds like thunder within in my breast
All the anger of my humanness
And though I call You "Lord" I must confess
I'm a stranger to Your holiness,
a stranger to Your holiness
Can we really be what we were meant to be
Jesus' people, living by the Spirit and living free
My heart longs to serve, but wanders so aimlessly
Oh Lord You deserve every part of me
Pounds like thunder within in my breast
All the anger of my humanness
And though I call You "Lord" I must confess
I'm a stranger to Your holiness,
a stranger to Your holiness
Hear my cry of desperation
as I see the wickedness of my ways
You alone are my salvation,
and Lord I've learned this one thing to be true
Is that the closer I get to You,
I see I'm a stranger
(to Your holiness)
Don't wanna be no stranger,
and it burns like a fire...
And it pounds like thunder within in my breast
All the anger of my humanness
And though I call You "Lord" I must confess
I'm a stranger to Your holiness,
a stranger to Your holiness
Don't wanna be no stranger
No, no
Don't wanna be no stranger
Don't wanna be no stranger
Looks like the boy's in trouble again
Oh, Lord
Don't stop loving us
Living much too close to the edge of sin
Now he finds himself where he should not have been
Oh God, why is Your peace so hard to find
And the answer to the questions that haunt my mind
Oh Lord, Your ways are not like mine
And it pounds like thunder within in my breast
All the anger of my humanness
And though I call You "Lord" I must confess
I'm a stranger to Your holiness,
a stranger to Your holiness
Can we really be what we were meant to be
Jesus' people, living by the Spirit and living free
My heart longs to serve, but wanders so aimlessly
Oh Lord You deserve every part of me
Pounds like thunder within in my breast
All the anger of my humanness
And though I call You "Lord" I must confess
I'm a stranger to Your holiness,
a stranger to Your holiness
Hear my cry of desperation
as I see the wickedness of my ways
You alone are my salvation,
and Lord I've learned this one thing to be true
Is that the closer I get to You,
I see I'm a stranger
(to Your holiness)
Don't wanna be no stranger,
and it burns like a fire...
And it pounds like thunder within in my breast
All the anger of my humanness
And though I call You "Lord" I must confess
I'm a stranger to Your holiness,
a stranger to Your holiness
Don't wanna be no stranger
No, no
Don't wanna be no stranger
Don't wanna be no stranger
Looks like the boy's in trouble again
Oh, Lord
Don't stop loving us
