We have seen Christ is reality

We have seen Christ is reality:

But it’s not sufficient just to see:

He in our experience must be

Everything to us.

We in prayer behold Him face to face

In the Word and meetings know His grace;

But in daily life

in every place

What is He to us?

Hallelujah! By His light we see

Oh

how real

how full our Lord will be

If we’ll only turn to Him at every time

in every day

Every thing

in every way and—

Be specific for reality!

And be done with generality!

If we’ll just apply Him

we will see

He’s everything to us.

Life is full of opportunities

Ordered by our Father’s hand: we see

Everything’s the best that it could be

So let’s gain Christ!

Christ our content and reality

To shine out from us unceasingly:

He must have a way in you and me

He must have a way.

Hallelujah! In the body we

Bear the death of Christ continually:

Thus His life comes forth for all to see as

The outer man is broken down

The inner man is shining so that—

In these earthen vessels men can see

There’s the treasure of reality!

Thus the gospel’s glorious light will be

Shining out from us.

Not just doctrines and theology

But the content of reality:

Christ as everything in you and me

He’s everything to us!
