A Call to Holy Living
1 Peter 1:13-16

Prepare your mind for action,
And to be sober-minded;
Not of your earthly fashion,
Causing you to be blinded.

Set your hope fully on grace,
From revelation of Christ;
Not upon this earthly place,
Causing you to be enticed.

Conform not to the passions,
Of your former ignorance;
Which are secular fashions,
Having roots in arrogance.

You are called to be holy,
Holy in all your conduct;
In being meek and lowly,
As Jesus Christ did instruct.

For you shall become holy,
Because Jesus is righteous;
Love the triune God solely,
Mind-set in your subconscious.
