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.
