Our Condition to God’s Heart’s Desire

lyricist: E. W. C.

Our condition was dead in offenses

To the flesh we were enslaved.

But together with Christ Jesus He has raised us

By His grace we have been saved. [Eph. 2:2-6]

God

Your mercy and Your love have reached us

You have made us alive.

By Your Spirit entering our spirit

In Your life we’ve been revived. [Eph. 2:4-5]

We were once far off but have become near

In the blood of the dear Son.

In His flesh abolished all the ordinances

Thus creating two as one. [Eph. 2:13

15]

We have access directly to the Father

Through Christ Jesus

our Lord

In one Spirit

whether Jew or Gentile

Fellowship has been restored. [Eph. 2:18]

Make the prayer that Paul had in Ephesians

The prayer in our daily plan.

Father strengthen us with power through Your Spirit

Deep into the inner man. [Eph. 3:16]

Lord

keep spreading into every corner

Lord

keep gaining each part.

We allow you to have the room within us.

Make Your home in all our heart. [Eph. 3:17]

Lord

Your riches are so unsearchable.

I can never comprehend.

But with all the saints in such a corporate church life

Your dimensions apprehend. [Eph. 3:8

18-19]

By Your mercy

keep me in Your Body

Taking the rich supply.

Through each member’s function in their measure

All the Body edify. [Eph. 4:16]

Deep within You is the greatest mystery

One that countless men have searched.

But to us You have unveiled the revelation

Now we see Christ and the church. [Eph. 5:32]

Lord

we’re wholly for Your heart’s desire—

Make Your church sanctified.

Through the washing in the pure word’s water

May You gain Your glorious Bride. [Eph. 5:25-26]
