We have seen Christ is reality:
|
|
| 1. | We have seen Christ is reality: |
| | But it's not sufficient just to see: |
| | He in our experience must be |
| | Everything to us. |
| | We in prayer behold Him face to face, |
| | In the Word and meetings know His grace; |
| | But in daily life, in every place, |
| | What is He to us? |
| | Hallelujah! By His light we see |
| | Oh, how real, how full our Lord will be |
| | If we'll only turn to Him at every time, in |
| | every day, |
| | Every thing, in every way and- |
| | Be specific for reality! |
| | And be done with generality! |
| | If we'll just apply Him, we will see |
| | He's everything to us. |
| 2. | Life is full of opportunities |
| | Ordered by our Father's hand, we see. |
| | Everything's the best that it could be, |
| | So let's gain Christ! |
| | Christ our content and reality |
| | To shine out from us unceasingly: |
| | He must have a way in you and me, |
| | He must have a way. |
| | Hallelujah! In the body we |
| | Bear the death of Christ continually: |
| | Thus His life comes forth for all to see as |
| | The outer man is broken down, |
| | The inner man is shining so that- |
| | In these earthen vessels men can see |
| | There's the treasure of reality! |
| | Thus the gospel's glorious light will be |
| | Shining out from us. |
| | Not just doctrines and theology, |
| | But the content of reality: |
| | Christ as everything in you and me |
| | He's everything to us! |
