1 To be holy is God’s own commandment,
To be holy while down here below;
To be holy our Savior will help us,
To be holy makes whiter than snow.

Chorus:
Jesus wants me to be holy,
Holy, pure and clean;
Jesus wants me to be holy,
All glorious within.

2 To be holy is sweet satisfaction,
To be holy is God’s blessed will;
To be holy will keep you in action,
To be holy you cannot keep still. [Chorus]

3 To be holy is cleansing thro’ Jesus,
To be holy means ev’rything pure;
Without it you cannot see heaven
And with it all things you’ll endure. [Chorus]
