Story Behind The Song
Sitting watching TV playing and came up with the main hook that is the verse and began writing the song as I heard it in my head. The "Be ye holy" line is the first thing to hit the paper and the rest of the lyrics were born out of that.

Lyrics
1
He said, I will be your light in times of darkness
I will carry you when you can't stand
Take up your cross and come to my throne
Be ye holy even as I Am
He said be ye holy even as I Am (2x)
Chorus
I want to be one to who He say's "well done my faithful son"
And I want to be one to who He says "in life you have overcome"
And I want to honor Him with my life
So that when I stand to meet Him I greet Him with a holy kiss
2
And He said judge not unless you be judged
But that doesn't relieve us of accountability
Take no thought for what you'll eat or drink
But that doesn't relieve us of the responsibility or to be holy
Chorus
3
Take His yoke upon you for it is light and easy to bear
He's given us His joy and His life when He returns
Will they still be here, will faith still be here
