Christ the Son of God and His
|
|
| 1. | Christ the Son of God and His |
| | redemptive deed |
| | Are the saving faith which is our only |
| | creed. |
| | All the other doctrines do not faith |
| | comprise; |
| | Christ, His work and person, only |
| | qualifies. |
| 2. | All the other teachings used improperly |
| | Are the "winds of doctrine," spoiling |
| | unity: |
| | Blowing saints away from Christ who |
| | is the Head, |
| | Building not the Body, tearing down |
| | instead. |
| 3. | Thus we must relinquish doctrines of |
| | all kinds, |
| | Only keep the faith that oneness we |
| | may find. |
| | In the Lord the Spirit we are one |
| | indeed; |
| | Just to keep this oneness is our only |
| | need. |
| 4. | Truth we must be holding, which is |
| | Christ Himself, |
| | That we be delivered from the sects of |
| | self, |
| | That in all things growing into Christ |
| | the Head, |
| | Build will be the Body and to fulness |
| | led. |
| 5. | To the "unity of faith" we must attain, |
| | All the "winds of doctrine" evermore |
| | disdain; |
| | Holding Christ the Spirit, our reality, |
| | For the Body's growing in its unity. |
