How Hard To Live Holy!

Oh Lord! I had
No idea of how hard
It would be to live
A holy life! I believe
In you, love you. I
Have faith in you.
Yet to be holy!
To be righteous
Takes all my effort.
Is this what you meant?
To love the Lord thy God
With all your heart,
Soul, strength and mind?
For it takes all that
To put and keep you first.
The strongest of believers
The most knowledgeable
In the Word
Yet we all face the task
To remain faithful
Consistent
In living Holy.
Oh Lord! I had
No idea of how hard
It is to live Holy!
