hymn: Christ has come to be life - P. B. - P. B.

Christ has come to be life

the processed divine Trinity.

God the Father’s the source

a fountain emerging to be.

God the Son as a gushing up spring

And the Spirit’s a river for life imparting

Oh how can this miracle be? The Triune God flowing in me!

I’ve got rivers of life flowing out of my innermost being!

As this life flows through me

I’m supplied abundantly.

His life nullifies sin! Power springs now from within!

To be free

overcoming spontaneously.

Yet this life though it frees

is not meant for mere victory.

God is full of intent and never could flow aimlessly.

So this life has a totality

a consummate issue encompassing me.

Life moves and life grows

life shapes as it flows

Now I share in this life’s destiny.

I’ve got rivers of life flowing out of my innermost being!

We’ll abide mutually

God and man revealed to be

Lamb

Wife

Spirit

and Bride.

Come! Drink! And riverside

Grows the tree

our enjoyment for eternity!

So I’ve no cause to frown as one who’s received this zoe.

I know life runs its course and triumphs inevitably.

I’m required just to stay in the flow

If I do the drinking then God gives the growth.

So there’s joy in my heart

and a spring in my step

And a smile on my face as I sing

I’ve got rivers of life flowing out of my innermost being!

Christ has come to be life
