190. CALLED UNTO HOLINESS

1. β€œCalled unto holiness,” Church of our God,

Purchased of Jesus, redeemed by His blood;

Called from the world and its idols to flee,

Called from the bondage of sin to be free.

Chorus:

β€œHoliness unto the Lord,” church of our God,

watchword and song,

β€œHoliness unto the Lord,” as we’re

marching along:

Sing…it; shout it, lout…and long,

β€œHoliness unto the Lord,” now and for ever.

2. β€œCalled unto holiness,” children of Light,

Walking with Jesus in garments of white;

Raiment unsullied, nor tarnished with sin,

God’ Holy Spirit abiding within.

3. β€œCalled unto holiness,” praise His dear name,

This blessed secret to faith now made plain,

Not our own righteousness, but Christ within,

Living and reigning, and saving from sin.

4. β€œCalled unto holiness,” glorious thought!

Up from the wilderness wanderings brought

Out from the shadows and darkness of night

Into the Canaan of perfect delight.

5. β€œCalled unto holiness,” Bride of the Lamb,

Waiting the Bridegroom’s returning again;

Lift up your heads, for the day draweth near.

When in His beauty the King shall appear.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
