I wanna be holy
Holy as You are
Holy Lord take my life transform me
Until I'm holy as You are
Holy
I wanna be holy
Holy as You are
Holy Lord take my life transform me
Until I'm holy as You are
Holy I wanna be holy
And the closer I get
The more I look like You
So I'll keep pressing in to Your presence
And as I seek your face
The old will pass away
Let Your will be done
Here as in heaven
I wanna be holy
Holy as You are
Holy Lord take my life transform me
Until I'm holy as You are
Holy
I wanna be holy
Holy
Holy
This thing You have asked of me
It is now my desire
Your Spirit ablaze within
Burning up what is not like you
I wanna be holy
Holy as You are
Holy, Lord take my life transform me
Until I'm holy as You are
Holy I wanna be holy
And the closer I get
The more I look like You
So I'll keep pressing in to Your presence
And as I seek your face
The old will pass away
Let Your will be done
Here as in heaven
I wanna be holy
Holy as You are
Holy Lord take my life transform me
Until I'm holy as You are
Holy
I wanna be holy
Holy
I wanna be holy
I wanna be like You
