The Christian Life

The Christian life

a Christ-filled life

A life of living Christ as life

Is Christ my person and my grace

A life of living face to face.

The Christian life

a loving life

A life of loving freed from strife

Is God in Christ as love poured out

Enjoyed within

expressed without.

The Christian life is God in Christ

A priceless treasure and our life;

We turn

behold

reflect

and see

E’en as He is

we all shall be.

The Christian life

a broken life

A life no longer I

but Christ

Is Christ our fragrance and our taste

By Spirit: holy

pure

and chaste.

The Christian life

a grafted life

Is found in our Lord Jesus Christ;

And by His cutting on the Tree

A place was made for you and me.

The Christian life

a grafted life

Is Christ’s desire

and God’s delight;

Organic union with the Lord

We live in Christ in one accord.

The Christian life

a growing life

Joined to the resurrected Christ

In Spirit grows organically

To be His Body practically.

The Christian life

maturing life

Is Christ in all to be applied;

’Tis not exchanged but mingled in

The richest life with mine does blend.
