Stranger to Holiness

Looks like a 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

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

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, oh, no
Don't wanna be no stranger
Don't wanna be no stranger
Looks like a boy's in trouble again
Oh...
