Not So Hot

Be perfect as I am perfect- says the Lord of Hosts

At being perfect I’m a reject- cause I longed to pay the cost

I’m not so hot at being Holy

I’m a total failure at perfection, its true.

But God majors in hopeless causes

So each day I look to what he will do.

When it comes to Holiness, I hadn’t a clue

Rather settle into comfort than His best

Wrestling with angels sent to comfort me too

I am what I am and I flunked every test.

Til I saw it wasn’t up to me

It was in and of and through

His power and perfection

Poured into a life made new

I’m not so hot at being Holy

I’m a total failure at perfection, its true.

But God majors in hopeless causes

So each day I look to what He will do.
