Still on Holy Ground
The trail that leads to victory is often touched by sin
And failures as we drop the soap and have to start again
But just like when we grasped God's grace the first time we were down
As long as we long for that grace we're still on holy ground
For holy ground is where we meet the One Who bore our sin
The One Whom we chose ever more to live and be like Him
And though we fail and stumble often in the path we tread
He's still the One Who saves us for His Kingdom home instead
Of where the devil tells us we will burn for all our sin
With him who is our enemy for trouble we are in
Because when we are ever seeking God's enduring love
We have His own assurance of the home He tells us of
That home that is our focus as we meet with Him each day
That gives us strength and courage as we walk His narrow Way
And find the more we're tempted more like Him we do become
Just like true steel is tempered by the fire it comes from
And by the chilling water that it's instantly placed in
That water like God's Spirit that removes the blot of sin
And makes us pure and whole again just like we were before
Just this time more in love with Him Whom we are living for
Because there's more to cherish as we see what He's gone through
The trials and pain He suffered when He died for me and you
But also for the victory He credits to our name
When He died on that cruel cross to take our guilt and shame
And then rose for our victory by overcoming death
The grave and all uncertainty for those behind He left
To share the story of God's love and daily care for those
Who choose to turn again to Him before the world He chose
To be His representatives of what redemption means
For those who will accept His grace the ones that He redeems
Each day as in their daily walk they grow the more like Him
Who showed by His great Sacrifice His perfect love for them
So friend if you're one struggling because of what you've done
That caused the pain and suffering God suffered through His Son
Remember 'tis His greatest joy when those return to Him
For whom He paid the greatest Price because of love for them
Nehemiah 1:9; Psalm 56:8-13; Isaiah 53
