 1 

God's Spirit is of Christ today,

The Spirit of reality,

He dwells in me with Christ as life

To make this Christ so real to me.

 
 2 

As Christ is God's embodiment,

Expressing God as life divine;

So is the Spirit unto Christ,

Revealing Him in life sublime.

 
 3 

The fulness of the Father God

In Christ the Son dwells bodily;

And all the riches of the Son

Are Spirit, our reality.

 
 4 

Oh in the Son the Father is,

And now the Spirit is the Son;

The Father with the Son is joined,

The Spirit with the Son is one.

 
 5 

'Tis when the Spirit strengthens us

And Christ His home makes in our hearts,

The Father's fulness with His love

Will fill us in our inward parts.

 
 6 

In Christ, the Father we possess,

Receiving Him for all our need;

In Spirit we experience Christ

As life and everything indeed.

 
 7 

With Thy divine reality,

Lord, fill us by Thy Spirit now,

That we may all be full of Thee,

And all Thy riches thus avow.
