Let's take the land! The land that God has

1287

	1.	Let's take the land! The land that God has
		given us;
		In all our living, Christ can be so much;
		To take this land, we have th' equipment that
		we need-
		The blood, the Word, the Spirit, and the
		church.
		(Sisters sing)
		Let's take the land! O Christian brothers,
		The land that God has given us.
		Be strong and take it, for we can make it
		And gain this land so glorious!
		(Brothers sing)
		Let's take the land! O Christian sisters,
		And to these things give earnest heed.
		The Lord implores us; He's gone before us
		And given everything we need!
	2.	We have the blood! Christ is our spotless
		offering,
		Who gave Himself our God to satisfy;
		And so we come with boldness to the throne of
		grace,
		And all day long, the precious blood apply.
	3.	We have the Word! The written word our daily
		food;
		We mix this with faith and say "Amen!"
		Then thro' the day, the spoken Word will
		speak to us
		And regulate our living from within.
	4.	The Spirit's ours! The Spirit of reality,
		He's independent of the way we feel;
		He dwell is us, and teaches us to dwell in Him,
		And guides us into everything that's real.
	5.	We have the church! All saints are needed to
		possess
		The fullness of this vast reality;
		Together we will gain this all-inclusive Christ,
		And He to us our everything will be.
