Take Time to Be Holy | Songs and Everlasting Joy

This song is a challenge for each of us in our personal relationship with Jesus. I know it is for me. Do we take time? Do we prioritise Jesus in our heart and life? He will help us to do all of the things in this hymn if we want Him to. What a wonderful Jesus we serve!
Take Time to Be Holy
Verse 1
Take time to be holy,
Speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always,
And feed on His word.
Make friends of God’s children,
Help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing
His blessing to seek.
Verse 2
Take time to be holy,
The world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret
With Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus,
Like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct
His likeness shall see.
Verse 3
Take time to be holy,
Let Him be thy guide,
And run not before Him,
Whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow,
Still follow the Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
Still trust in His word.
Verse 4
Take time to be holy,
Be calm in Thy soul,
Each thought and each motive
Beneath His control.
Thus led by His spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above.

Oh, sweet friend, this was just beautiful! You're right: this song is a challenge. I have struggled this week by not giving my all to the Lord. I wallowed in self-pity and not trusting Him. Our situation is grim, but may God give me His strength and grace, and may I abide in Him. God bless you, friend!!!!

I'm so sorry the situation is so difficult. Also sorry I missed your comment! May God continue to encourage you even when it looks so grim. We cannot see beyond our little sphere but God can. He has to have a brighter future there. He has promised life abundant. Even if not in this world, we will all have that one day if we love and choose to follow Him.

Praise God you enjoyed it. Yes, we do need to choose what side we will on and spend our time focusing on what we choose. May we all choose to be God's each day.
