Exercise the spirit (Meetings)

Exercise the spirit!

Human thought reject;

Meet with one another

Body life respect.

Exercise the spirit!

All the forms forsake;

Share with one another

Each of Christ partake.

Exercise the spirit!

Natural sense renounce;

Serve with one another

Christ the Lord announce.

Exercise the spirit!

Soulish life deny;

Helping one another

On the Lord rely.

Freed within the spirit

From self-righteousness

From self-condemnation

And self-consciousness.

Freed within the spirit

From self-will and pride

From self-love and glory

All to override.

Exercise the spirit

Victory to claim

By the blood which cleanses

And the mighty Name.

Exercise the spirit

Thus to touch the Lord;

Ever by the spirit

Take Him thru His Word.

It is by the spirit

Christ is testified;

It is by the spirit

Man is satisfied.

Exercise the spirit!

This is what we need!

Exercise the spirit!

May the Lord so lead!
