Holiness, holiness is what I long for
Holiness is what I need
Holiness, holiness is what
You want for me, for me

Holiness, holiness is what I long for (that's what I long for)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Take My Life" by Guy Penrod express a deep longing for holiness and righteousness. The singer acknowledges that both holiness and righteousness are necessary for a fulfilling life with God. The repetition of "holiness" and "righteousness" emphasizes the singer's conviction that these traits are what God desires for his life. The lyrics make it clear that the singer is aware his own heart, mind, and will are not aligned with God's, but he is willing to submit to God's molding, transforming, and conforming. This repeated plea for molding, transforming, and conforming speaks to the singer's humility and desire to be wholly aligned with God's ways.

@@cebuanovlog9619 LOL, it has been known throughout history that when one's hair is longer their 6th senses are stronger. The native americans have quotes about this before the white man forced them to go short haired, adopt Christianity as their spiritual practice because their old one was against the law to practice anymore (1960s era). As were their ways of gardening - wiped from existance and had to do it the short haired white man's way now. Hmmmmm hmmmmm HMMMMMMM

They were to be clean cut and follow directions to the NWO cookie cutter mentality that they needed all folks to fit into -

@msbutler59

Are you KIDDING me!!! Guy Penrod Hymns and Worship is now my favorite music to set my soul to flight. Of ALL the GVB performers I think Guy is my favorite solo artist on his own. He seems to have the most Spirit and truly worships like I have been used to since I got saved in 1980. Thank you Brother Guy for sharing your talent.
