Sing praise to Christ Who lives in us,
|
|
| 1. | Sing praise to Christ Who lives in us, |
| | The God of our salvation; |
| | Who saves us by His life divine, |
| | And not by regulation; |
| | After we've worked-done all we can, |
| | His life has power to change a man: |
| | His life divine can change us. |
| 2. | He saves us to the uttermost |
| | By His life-giving power; |
| | Transfusing Himself into us, |
| | He saves us hour by hour. |
| | He saved the lost by coming in, |
| | He's saving now from more than sin: |
| | He's saving us to glory! |
| 3. | Our Lord was constituted priest |
| | To be a real life-giver; |
| | Life is the nature of this One |
| | Who can from self deliver: |
| | His life is indestructible, |
| | By it He saves us to the full: |
| | Praise God, He's fully able! |
| 4. | His life is fully qualified |
| | To bring us through to glory; |
| | Were it not for His tested life, |
| | 'Twould be another story: |
| | His life was fully tried on earth, |
| | To crucifixion from His birth: |
| | He passed through death and Hades. |
| 5. | He's pledged to save us to the full, |
| | His life is operating; |
| | He's doing everything for us |
| | 'Tis all for our perfecting; |
| | Our life's a failure at its best, |
| | Only His life can stand the test: |
| | His life brings full salvation! |
| 6. | He's living now to intercede, |
| | Continuing forever; |
| | He undertakes into the age, |
| | His priesthood changes never; |
| | He always lives to intercede, |
| | Such a High Priest is what we need: |
| | He's higher than the heavens. |
| 7. | Come forward now to God through Him, |
| | Ne'er shrink back to destruction; |
| | Come forward now to get the life, |
| | Which brings the proper function; |
| | Come forward now the life to take, |
| | By life His people us He'll make, |
| | And swallow death forever. |
