God’s eternal purpose

lyricist: Witness Lee
Composer: M. Koch

God’s eternal purpose

Is to join with man

Causing man

His vessel

To be born again

His own life imparting

Filling to the brim;

Man may thus express Him

And be one with Him.

God in His own image

Hath created man

That he may be able

To fulfill His plan;

That he may receive Him

As the tree of life

To become His fulness

As to man the wife.

In His life’s rich flowing

Man will be transformed

Into precious substance

And to Him conformed.

Thus will man be builded

As His counterpart

Thus to be His dwelling

Satisfy His heart.

’Tis the holy city

New Jerusalem;

With His saints God mingles

Makes His home with them.

He becomes their content

His expression they;

They shall share His glory

One with Him for aye.

He’s the very center

Ruling on the throne;

By His life the power

Saints are kept in one.

By His light of glory

They are kept in light

Harmony enjoying

In divine delight.

He’s their living water

And their food supply;

All their thirst and hunger

He doth satisfy.

He’s for them the temple

In Himself they live

In His constant presence

Worship ever give.
