Doobie Powell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holy

You must be holy
You got to be righteous
If you wanna see the Lord
You got to live his word (Repeat)

People go to church, week after week
Walk by each other and don't even speak
Talking about they come to praise the Lord
While they running God's people down to the floor
We all got to turn from our wicked ways
If we wanna to hear the Lord Jesus say…
Well done, good and faithful servant…
That's why the Lord gave me this song…

You must be holy
You got to be righteous
If you wanna see the Lord
You got to live his word (Repeat)

Gotta be holy in the way you live
Gotta be holy in the way you give
Gotta be holy in the way you speak
Gotta be holy when you're on the street (Repeat)

O-O-O- O

Adlib…Everybody put yo hands together





Holy
Righteous (Repeat Accordingly)
