My old person has been nullified

My old person has been nullified;

With my Lord upon the cross he died;

Now in nothing shall he be applied;

He’s dead to me.

My new Person in my spirit dwells;

Springing in me as a bubbling well;

Flowing out until each part He fills

With abundant life.

Christ

my Person

in my spirit lives;

And my heart to Him I’d daily give;

That my inner man could have a home

And a place to settle down

yes

A place to call His own

and—

There be my complete reality

There expressing all He is to me

Living in my heart abundantly

As my Person real.

By this Person being formed in me

I’ll a member of His Body be

No more acting individually

But with the saints.

More and more our Person He must be;

That our natural personality

Be eliminated thoroughly

Till Christ is all.

Only Christ

our Person

must remain;

From our aims

our goals we must refrain

Till the church be only Christ Himself

Built up as the one new man

Thus fulfilling God’s great plan of—

Mingling fully with the human race

To obtain a proper dwelling place

’Stablishing His kingdom’s rule and grace;

Over all the earth.

Not Himself just individually

But the church together corporately

Taking Christ as all in all

to be

The full-grown

perfect man.
