I Peter 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

​
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about the challenges of walking the Way of the Cross. Living in holiness is the goal of walking in The Way. By faith we have received God’s grace.

This is the only way that we can do this. We will still stumble and fall from time to time. But, thank God for His mercy and His grace. Without His grace and mercy we would be lost in our attempts to be holy. Pray for God’s strength and for His guidance in our efforts toward holiness. Then our faith will bear fruit and our light will shine before men.
2. As the song continues (During Verse 2 - 3) read the scriptures from the book of  I Peter 1:3-5 and Romans 12:1-10. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.

Take Time to Be Holy

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.

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.

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.
