Have We Forgotten?


Have we forgotten Your holiness Lord?
Have we Your people taken You for granted?
Moses removed his sandals in the presence of the burning bush
He could not look upon Your face on the mountain
His countenance altered by Your presence

Have we forgotten that You are a Holy Lord?
Has our worship of You suffered from this?
Uzzah died from touching the Ark of Your Presence.
The mercy seat where You dwelt among us
The sacred relic from the Holy of Holies.

Have we forgotten that You are Holy Lord?
Have we forgotten the song of the angels?
The high priest alone was admitted to Your presence
Purified so he may enter the Holy of Holies
Humbled to approach the mercy seat

Have we forgotten Your holiness Lord?
Do we take Your grace lightly?
The veil is torn with the sacrifice of the Lamb
You tell us to come boldly before the throne
Your mercy and grace given to us.

Have we forgotten Your holiness Lord?
That you have redeemed us through Your arm?
Forgiven redeemed reconciled
Paid for by the blood of Christ
We are reborn as Your children
