 1 

God in His justifying has a plan,

A deeper purpose for a corporate man.

When we were called, this mighty Lord of all

Appeared to us to save us from the fall.

 
 2 

We walked as strangers unaware of Him,

But in His glory God shined deep within,

Infusing His own element in us;

This precious essence was our Lord Jesus.

 
 3 

What glory! How attractive was this light!

How we appreciated such a sight!

Our first reaction was belief in Him —

This precious God has placed Himself within.

 
 4 

Our first reflection of this element

Reflected Jesus back to God, Who sent

His own response to count as righteousness

Our faith in Him Who was infused in us.

 
 5 

But we would hold to this reality,

Our Jesus Christ in us our all to be,

Enjoying all He is abundantly,

Content to have this One eternally.

 
 6 

Thus God could never be so satisfied;

Knowing that we cared only to abide

In our experiences of His Son,

Not caring for His goal to make us one.

 
 7 

Still He would seek those faithful saints who'd hear

His call to give up everything so dear,

To offer up their individual Christ;

To come together for the Body life.
