It is God’s intent and pleasure
To have Christ revealed in me
Nothing outward as religion
But His Christ within to be.
It is God’s intent and pleasure
That His Christ be wrought in me;
Nothing outwardly performing
But His Christ my all to be.
It is God’s intent and pleasure
That His Christ may live in me;
Nothing as an outward practice
But Christ working inwardly.
It is God’s intent and pleasure
That His Christ be formed in me;
Not the outward forms to follow
But Christ growing inwardly.
It is God’s intent and pleasure
That His Christ make home in me;
Not just outwardly to serve Him
But Christ dwelling inwardly.
It is God’s intent and pleasure
That His Christ my hope may be;
It is not objective glory
But ’tis Christ subjectively.
It is God’s intent and pleasure
That His Christ be all in me;
Nothing outwardly possessing
But His Christ eternally.
