Remove the veils, Lord, from my heart;
|
|
| 1. | Remove the veils, Lord, from my heart; |
| | True revelation grant to me; |
| | A vision clear, O Lord, impart |
| | Of Thy recovery. |
| 2. | By revelation I perceive |
| | The power that raised Christ from the dead; |
| | When I by faith this power receive, |
| | I to the church am led. |
| 3. | Thy mighty power has set me free |
| | >From all the world's distracting things; |
| | An entrance to the local church |
| | This mighty power brings. |
| 4. | Once in the local church, I need |
| | To take Thee as my person, Lord; |
| | My outward man each day recede, |
| | My heart is for the Lord. |
| 5. | I take Thee as my person, Lord; |
| | I have been crucified with Thee. |
| | My inner man has been restored; |
| | I'm now indwelt by Thee. |
| 6. | When all Thy members self forsake, |
| | Thy glorious Body, Lord, is known; |
| | When of Thy Person we partake, |
| | The one new man is shown. |
| 7. | The church life is the one new man |
| | In every local church expressed; |
| | Thy Body is a corporate man, |
| | One person manifest. |
