It is God’s intent and pleasure

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.
