The Humanity of Jesus

lyricist: L. S.
Composer: Emmelar

For the building of the Body

We need Jesus humanly;

The humanity of Jesus

Builds the church organically.

In the Spirit

all that Christ is

Has become our life supply

To equip us for God’s building

God in Man to glorify.

When we fell

our human vessel

Was corrupted by the fall;

The humanity of Jesus

Now uplifts

enriches all.

Christ became us

incarnated

To bring us into Himself;

With the Triune God we’re mingled;

Christ our life saves us from self.

Do you yearn to love as God loves?

Grow up into Christ our Head.

Would you live the way that God lives?

Then choose Christ to live instead.

God gave us the highest living

And the life to live this way.

In the Spirit

God compounded

Everything we need today.

In the Spirit of this Jesus

Every step God took became

Elements that we experience

And apply through Jesus’ name.

Christ’s humanity and living

With the cross as our release

Brings in life in resurrection

For our one accord in peace.

In the church life

in our spirit

In the building we are one

In one Body and one Spirit

This our calling in the Son.

In the heavens

Christ is sitting

As the Man enthroned and crowned.

The humanity of Jesus

Is the life for glory bound.

Our High Priest

this Man in heaven

Faithful

merciful and true

Was in all respects once tempted;

Made like us

He suffered too.

His dear blood now gives us boldness

To approach the throne of grace

Where the Lamb of God receives us

Timely help we must embrace.

For the building of the Body

We are human Jesusly;

By the Spirit of this Jesus

We are built up corporately.

The humanity of Jesus

God supplies us day by day

To become God’s holy city

Glorifying God for aye.
