Holiness is a challenge

If you worship God daily,

the world may call you a wally.

You will pay a thousand times.

Of you they'll say that he just whines.

You will not be accepted.

You will be disrespected.

Your efforts will be termed vain.

This world will call you insane.

When you preach they'll say,' " Don't make noise.

We don't want to hear your voice."

None will be there for you to console.

All your anger you'll have to control.

You'll be persecuted all through the day

but remember that God is the way.

You will not receive praise.

To God , your sorrows, you must raise.

The world won't give you the respect that is due

but at the end God will tell you, " My child, I love you."
