The Central Line in the Bible

lyricist: S. A. W.
Composer: G. L.

In the Holy Bible

Is a central line

Truths and revelation

Span the bridge of time.

’Midst the supplemental

And the “branch” or “leaf”

Is the Christ anointed

For eternity.

Christ in the beginning

Was the Word of God;

As a living person

Christ on earth did trod.

As the Word Incarnate

He is God defined

So that by His speaking

Life and light men find.

Father

Son

and Spirit

Is the Triune One;

Mutually indwelling

Father in the Son;

Enjoyed in the Spirit

Accessed through the Son

Unto God

the Father

All are joined as one.

God by His dispensing

God’s economy

Will fulfill His purpose

In His trinity;

From the loving Father

Through the Son as grace

In the mingled Spirit

Is His dwelling place.

Christ is all-inclusive

All-inheriting;

Firstborn of creation

First in everything;

Son of God effulgent

Bright

extensive

vast

Christ

High Priest and Builder

Is the First and Last.

Jesus Christ

the Spirit

All-inclusive cure

Is a compound ointment

Life-giving and pure;

By His sweet anointing

All are sanctified;

For the church

the Spirit

Is intensified.

Living in the Body

Body life is known

Living by the Spirit

Christ is fully grown;

By organic union

Members cultivate

Body-conscious living

Age to consummate.

See the Holy City

God’s supernal goal

God’s organic blueprint

His eternal scroll;

Corporate reproduction

New Jerusalem

Bride of Christ presented;

Worship

praise to Him.
