Our worship in reality

Our worship in reality

Is typified in Moses’ law:

With Canaan’s produce

rich and sweet

All Israel came and worshipped God.

’Tis thus that we must come today

To worship in reality:

When we bring Christ as produce sweet

God fully satisfied will be.

The worship that God so desired

Was not with manna sent from heav’n

But from their labor on the land

The people’s gifts to God were giv’n.

Thus

what God so desires today.

Are not the miracles so grand

But daily

normal life in Christ

As worship

produce of the land.

The manna came from God alone;

The produce

from man’s work on Him.

So all our worship now must come

From mingling with the Lord within.

As day by day we live in Christ

And take Him as our everything

The produce of the land comes forth

And worship true to God we’ll bring.

The manna

Lord

no more we’ll seek

But Christ in all we will apply;

Then we will have some produce sweet

Thine own dear heart to satisfy.
