1.

Once by nature we were dead in sin,
In a world of utter discord;
But together God has quickened us,
Raised us up to sit together with the Lord.
|
|
|
Jesus is getting us together,
Come and see the saints in one accord.
His love is knitting us together,
To the stature of the fullness of the Lord.
|
|
|
2.
|
Thus with all saints we can
apprehend,
All the vast dimensions of God.
Knowing Christ's love passes
all we know,
We're together filled to
fullness with our God.
|
|
3.
|
Now we know the purpose of our
God,
Visible the mystery became:
Christ, the church, together
now we see,
And together put the enemy to
shame.
|
|
|
4.
|
For this cause we pray the Father God -
Strengthen Thou with might our inner man;
Make Yourself at home in all our hearts,
Root us, ground us in Your love and for Your plan.
|
|
5.
|
In the Body we'll be fitly framed
As the many members Christ supply;
Working in the measure of each part,
All by growth in love the Body edify.
|
|
|
6.
|
Now we're one His purpose to fulfill,
As the one new man of His plan.
Unto Him be glory in the church,
And in Jesus Christ forevermore - Amen!
