God’s glorious substance Spirit is

lyricist: Witness Lee
Composer: Robert Henry Earnshaw

God’s glorious substance Spirit is

His essence

holy and divine;

To contact God and Him enjoy

His Spirit I must touch with mine.

The spirit is the innermost

The part of man most deep and real;

If he would contact God in life

’Tis with the spirit he must deal.

The worship which the Father seeks

Is in the spirit’s strength alone;

His Spirit into man’s would come

That His and man’s may thus be one.

When Spirit unto spirit calls

The two commingle and are one;

Man’s spirit is the Spirit’s home

The Spirit doth man’s life become.

Man’s spirit must God’s Spirit touch

If in God’s fulness he would live;

’Tis only with the spirit thus

That he to God may worship give.

In ministry and fellowship

Man to the spirit we must bring;

All ministry should turn to prayer

Spirit to spirit answering.

In spirit we must pray and serve

In spirit touch the life divine

In spirit grow

in spirit build

That Christ thru us may fully shine.

Lord

to the spirit I would turn

And learn to truly contact Thee;

Thy Spirit thus will flow with mine

And overflow eternally.
