It is not a message that I’ve heard
(Just the Christ
in the word
)
Not some points that I’ve learned
(The Christ in all I’ve heard
)
Not a song or verse I know by heart
(But Christ in every song or verse
)
That can meet your need
or wash your feet
(Christ can meet your need
)
Touch your heart
or fill the void
But it’s Christ
just the Christ
(Just this Christ
)
That I’ve enjoyed. (Just this Christ enjoyed.)
It is nothing good that is of myself
(Just the Christ
in you and me
)
Nothing of my natural life
(The Christ who’s all to be
)
Not the best of fruit from the knowledge tree
(Only Christ we’d know
)
That can touch your life
or turn your heart
(Christ can touch your life
)
Refresh you in your deepest part
But it’s Christ
just the Christ
(Just this Christ
)
Lived out through me. (Just the Christ in me.)
