He called and gathered us from abroad.

is the house of God.
As His family we praise and laud
“Oh the church is the household of the living God!”

is the dwelling place of God.
It’s in our spirit
as along we trod
God expresses Himself we see
in the dwelling place of God!
The fourth status of the church
is the kingdom of God.
He reigns in us as the “budding rod
”
As in spirit we live and walk for the kingdom of God!
The fifth status of the church
is the Body of Christ.
In one Spirit we were all baptized.
Members now joined to the Head
as the Body of Christ!

is God’s masterpiece.
We’re the poem of His heart

Only the church can truly be God’s masterpiece!

is the one new man.
Created in Christ through the cross—His plan.
Now God’s purpose is fulfilled in the one new man!

We’ll be married to Him fore’er as the counterpart of Christ!

They shine through the dark as only they can.
Oh
the New Jerusalem is a golden lampstand!
