    Default Christian song -- "I do not share your holiness"

    Heard once on the radio, probably 10 years ago. Singer-songwriter sounding guy, hook/refrain is something like

    I love you Lord but I must confess
    I do not share your holiness

    (Singer is awed by Jesus's ability to turn the other cheek, etc.)

    TIA

    here you go:

    Stranger To Holiness
    by Steve Camp


    Looks like the boy's in trouble again
    Living much too close to the edge of sin
    Now he finds himself where he should not have been
    Oh God, why is Your peace so hard to find
    And the answer to the questions that haunt my mind
    Oh Lord, Your ways are not like mine

    And it pounds like thunder within in my breast
    All the anger of my humanness
    And though I call You "Lord" I must confess
    I'm a stranger to Your holiness, a stranger to Your holiness

    Can we really be what we were meant to be
    Jesus' people, living by the Spirit and living free
    My heart longs to serve, but wanders so aimlessly
    Oh Lord You deserve every part of me

    Hear my cry of desperation as I see the wickedness of my ways
    You alone are my salvation, and Lord I've learned this one thing to be true
    Is that the closer I get to You, I see I'm a stranger (to Your holiness)
    Don't wanna be no stranger, and it burns like a fire…

    Default Reckon that's it

    And thanks for picking it out of my obviously vague memory of it. Now I gotta track it down and see if I really like it and want to learn it. But it's stuck with me for years....
