Christ the Son of God and His redemptive deed

lyricist: Witness Lee
Composer: Edgar Walser

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.

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.

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.

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

Built will be the Body and to fulness led.

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.
