If there is no resurrection
God would be God of the dead;
Christ Himself would not be living
N’er have been raised from the dead.
But there is a resurrection
Which is the vitality
Both the life pulse and the life-line
Within God’s economy.
Christ a Savior dead would be
Not the One Who lives forever
Who can save most utterly.
Life imparting would be stayed.
And so would regeneration
With renewing pass away.
Then whatever would there be?
There would be no transformation
Nor to Christ conformity.
Where the members of the Christ?
There to Him would be no Body
Which His fullness is in life.
Then the church would n’er have been
Which is both to Christ His dear bride
And to God the one new man.
Then would God’s economy
With the voiding of His purpose
In collapse fall totally.
