Hymn Context Compare
Are the saving faith which is our only creed.
Let Us make man,”—to God express! (Fill us!)
It is not a teaching or a word,
Which else shows waterish, bleak, and thin.
Making Christ to others known;
But a living Christ to give.
We don’t care for opinions, regulations or norms.
Into the spirit bring.
All of religion has missed it again,
He came as food, so now we take Him in.
Who from one stream of life had common birth.
Saving us from strife;
Come enjoy the tree of life,
To free me from all strive.
Christ also is the one reality
I know Thee even less;
I know Thee even less;
Christ is the center, Christ is everything;
Than anything we’ve seen before.
He’s not just a teaching,

doctrine

Christ, His work and person, only qualifies.
The wondrous Triune God is for dispensing!
Not religion, not an outward form
As light and color mingled, bring
But the seed of life be sown.
But the message Christ should be;
Hallelujah! We’re free in our spirit instead!
But eat the tree of life;
They vainly wait for the kingdom to be.
To come and meet with us.
Instead together sharing God’s one life,
But ’tis Christ Himself
Overcome by eating Christ—
Have never met my needs.
And all our scriptural knowledge without Him
True revelation lack
True revelation lack
But ’tis for Christ alone we’re gathering.
But an unveiling of the Christ.
But the processed Triune God, glorious!
