In spirit, in the church we see

lyricist: Adapted
Composer: Ralph Harrison

In spirit

in the church we see

The high estate we’re destined for.

It’s higher

vaster

more profound

Than anything we’ve seen before.

It’s not a view in doctrine bare

But an unveiling of the Christ.

He’s marvelous and far beyond

Our mental thought or power to share.

He’s rich

unlimited

profound

Immeasurable

and marvelous.

Yet ’tis a greater wonder still

He needs heirs of salvation—us.

God has accomplished many things—

He’s planned

created

and brought forth.

The Son is now appointed Heir

Administrator of God’s worth.

But in th’ economy of God

There is not one

but many sons.

One is the firstborn Son of God

With many other living ones.

Christ will inherit all God’s things

And we’re the heirs of God with Christ.

We’re growing now to be matured;

As heirs we’ll soon be legalized.

We’re joint-heirs with the firstborn Son

Inheriting the universe.

We’re in this corporation vast—

All partners of Christ and the church.

In spirit

in the church

we see

Our calling of unrivaled worth.

We’re destined

not to go to heaven.

We’re destined to be kings on earth.

We’re paupers

yet we’re glorious kings.

Inheriting the kingdom vast

The earth

God’s throne

and e’en all things

And all the Father is and has.
