Displayed for all to see;
The Son as Spirit flows now
To flow God into me.
3 I’m calling His name “Lord Jesus”;
He’s coming in my heart.
He’s spreading out from my spirit
To all my inward parts.
The more I contact daily,
The more my heart Christ’s home,
And with the saints I’m built up
Into the church, Christ’s home!

Or a creed or a dead doctrine,
D
A

But the processed Triune God, glorious!
2 Life is not created
As man’s body, soul, and spirit –
That’s man’s life that’s weak and temporal.
Life is uncreated.
It’s divine and it’s eternal.
And this is the life that’s indestructible.
3 And this life came in us
In our spirit through the Spirit;
This is where we were made alive!
Now this life is spreading.
Lord, don’t stop – just keep invading.
For this, Lord, we must be daily revived.
4 Life needs our maintaining,
Otherwise we’re suffocating.
Calling on His name we breathe Him in.
Everywhere we breathe Him,
Makes us fresh and makes us living.
O, this life is full of hope and meaning.
5 In our daily living
It’s this life that we are sensing.
Are we in the flesh or in the Lord?
If you’re dead and empty
And the troubles you have plenty,
Saints, get out of there and flee back to the Lord!

Then the Lord brought some saints my own way
I alone could not Thee apprehend
But with all the saints You now my joy have been.

Yet within me there is an “Amen”

My leprosy, Lord, You cleansed all away;
My ears were opened to hear Your voice,

And the world it draws me with glitter and glare.
O Lord, You’ve trapped me. Don’t let me go.
Kiss me and woo me, and win my heart,
So, I will always tell You…

Things like knowing Christ as life,
He’s everything to us.
We take Christ as life and walk in Him
We take Christ as life and walk in Him.

For you died and now your life

To this place of curse he’d go.

Turn us, Lord, turn us now;

Who stripped and beat him ’til he bled,
And having taken everything that he owned,
They left him lying there half dead.

Turn us deeply --- Life is how
D
You will get the church,
Em
A

The home You’re longing for.

On that same road to Jericho.

A Levite did the same also.
Am
Em
You know this man who was going down,
Am
Em
This man is me; this man is you,
Am
Em
Who living in our fallen life away from God
D
Em
Were beaten sore and bled from many wounds.
4 We were stripped of all that we should have:
Our virtue, honour, righteousness.
We could not stand upright nor hold onto life;
Toward God: no boldness nor access.
5 Religious ones observing our poor estate
Being the same could be no help.
They passed us by, not daring to come close.
We only heard we’d go to hell.
As sinners under the law condemned,
Which left us beaten and disgraced,
We all were robbed and dying from so many hurts,
From small transgressions to our sins so great.
2 In the church, we all can apprehend
All the riches of this life that is within.
Not just shallowness with strife,
But a deep and peaceful life
Is just waiting to flow out, a living spring.
With the saints it’s easy to be bold,
To pursue this life, to gain it, to lay hold.
All the other things we find,
Must be quickly left behind,
So that only life remains for us to see.
3 Deeper, Lord our turn must be to You;
We would move by life in everything we do;
All our concepts refute,
For Your life be absolute --Grant us grace to turn much deeper day by day.
When we touch our spirit --- such a thrill!
This is far beyond emotion, mind, and will --It’s within our hidden part --Come, make home in all our heart;
Let Your presence flow as rivers deep within.

My wretched self I see.
So shameful, sinful, dark; yet I
Still dare to come to Thee
3 For I have seen a glimpse of Thee
And briefly touched Thy throne.
All beauty, glory, radiance, light
Belong to Thee alone.
Brief moments in Thy presence, Lord
Thy love hath granted me.
My soul and spirit burn within
Each time I gaze on Thee.
4 But often I am far from Thee
My heart doth often stray
And wanders after worthless things
Or sin besets my way.
Yet still I long to know Thee more,
5 Jesus, Lord Jesus!
How I love to touch You!
It’s by calling on You!
No other one will do!
Jesus, Lord Jesus!
As I call, I’m drinking,
Triune God partaking.
Lord, You’re my cup of salvation!
Jesus, Lord Jesus!
Jesus, Lord Jesus!
To really know Thy grace
And share in all Thy heart’s desire,
And walk in all Thy ways.

God in a man manifest.
Lord, You died for humanity
To redeem man for eternity.
Lord, You died on a tree for me.

Death can’t hold You in the grave.

The life-giving Spirit in me.

Something deep within was seeking,
To know if life on earth had meaning;
And then I found the answer in a name.
I’m not the same,
Since I have called on Jesus.
3 This Jesus lives inside of me –
My Lord, my life, my all to be.
This life and peace inside increases
By calling on the name of Jesus.

I have no need;
I’m satisfied in Jesus.

Our one hope: redemption from our fall,
Wickedness and sin, but that’s not all—
The redemption of Christ and salvation
By life divine dispensed to us.
4 Saved by Your life and Your life’s capacity,
We’re renewed that You could be our God
And that we your people all could be
That we’d share the enjoyment of all
Of the riches of the Trinity.
5 Israel will be restored in the coming age;
With Your overcomers they’ll enjoy
All Your riches, which will consummate
In new earth and new heav’n
For eternity in the New Jerusalem.

are Christ’s members?
This body’s a temple of the Holy Spirit
Who, from God, is now inside,
Owning us that God may be glorified.
Lord, we’ve been bought by You!
4 We are united with Christ in our spirit.
He dwells within us
and makes His home in our heart,
To our body giving life,
Purified to be a member of Christ;
Our every part is Christ

3 O Jesus, our Jesus, how can we express
Thy dearness, so precious, and Thy loveliness?
When we see Thy beauty, all else fades away --All shadows must flee at the breaking of day!
4 We love Thee, we love Thee, we love Thee, O Lord.
We love Thee, our Jesus, we love Thee, our God!
We love Thee, we love Thee, and that Thou dost know;
As we’re in Thy presence, love for Thee will grow!

Mingling both as one spontaneously.
You respond within with words so sweet,
I repeat these words to Thee.

Not the knowledge of the dead teaching.
When I eat Your Word, it becomes to me
My heart’s joy and rejoicing.

It will not be void, but as the rain and snow
It will do Your will – bear the life divine,
Bearing fruit a hundred fold.
5 When my heart is like a rock so cold
It’s Your word so strong that hammers stone,
That the grain of life may come to me
And supply me inwardly.

I love to eat it every day and night.
I just turn and open up to Him
And the rivers flow right in.

D–G–D
He's the seed of the Kingdom in us!
2 Human generations form the history
Of the wonderful seed sown in us.
Mingled with the Triune God's divinity
Is the seed of the Kingdom in us.
3 Jesus' name means this: "Jehovah's saving us,"
He's the wonderful seed sown in us.
And so now we call Him our Jehovah-Plus,
He's the seed of the Kingdom in us.
4 "Emmanuel" means it's God Himself with us
As the wonderful seed sown in us.
No more simply God, Emmanuel is God-Plus --That's the seed of the Kingdom in us.
5 We have all we need to live the kingdom life
In the wonderful seed sown in us.
Hallelujah! Now we give up all our strife,
For the seed of the Kingdom's in us.
5 One day a friend told me
that Jesus is the Lord.
To my great surprise,
it’s written in the Word.
They asked me to believe You.
Your name I once blasphemed.
Dear Lord, You saved me
just by calling on Your name.
Oh, Lord Jesus, dear Son, so glorious,
I’m cleansed and You enter into me.
Oh, Lord Jesus, Your name most precious!
Your Person, dear Lord, I now possess.

is there something better?

I can’t help it, I must speak or else I’ll die,
For my Christ is rising up to water you.
3 Should a pause come, or the meeting ebb real low,
While within me there’s a rich and living flow,
Then I’ll stand up, so that all the saints will know,
That I’m here to share my Christ and water you.
4 In the church life, in our daily living too,
In the meeting, and in everything we do,
Christ is speaking and the Spirit’s breaking through,
That is why there’s the supply to water you.

His saints, the Bride, portrayed.
2 Through shadows, types, and figures,
God’s deepest thought is known;
As typified by Adam,
The Husband, Christ, is shown.
A rib brought forth from Adam
Reveals the source of life
By which God built a woman:
Eve, as the church, His wife.
3 To be His people’s Husband,
To take them as His wife:
This is what God desires
To live in marriage life.
Their sacrifice and worship
Alone could not content;
But with them to be married
Was God’s foremost intent.
4 This romance is the finest
As seen in the Song of Songs;
For her beloved’s kisses
His seeking lover longs.
Love’s work in her produces
I love You!
Jesus, I love You!
All my glory and love I pour
and waste on You.
Receive my ointment, Lord.
It’s all I have, dear Lord.
For You, most precious One,
Because I love You.

D-Bm-D
I just love You, dear Lord.
A vessel to contain just Him.
2 Deep within you is your spirit,
Even deeper than your “heart”;
Many other things can fill you –
Only Jesus can fill this part.
You have been so empty all these years;
In spite of all you’ve tried, you’re still not satisfied.
Don’t you feel a longing deep within
To open up and take Christ in?
2 As mercy, You reached me.
You laid aside Your glory.
You’re God, Lord, the Almighty,
Yet You became a slave for me.
What kind of love You have for man,
Beyond our power to comprehend!
I love You, Lord Jesus.
3 Doesn’t matter how you see things,
For in God’s eyes “all have sinned”;
Jesus shed His blood to cleanse you
For the purpose of getting in.
He’s done everything there is to do,
And He’s the Spirit now so He can get in you.
Makes no difference what your past has been;
The living Christ will still come in.
3 I’m evil and fallen.
My nature, Lord, is just sin.
You’re righteous and holy.
All that You are was condemning me.
4 Just as you are in your body,
Perfectly contained therein,
God wants you for His container,
All you need to do is let Him in.
Would you open up from deep within
To let the Lord come in and fill you to the brim.
Why not open up from deep within
And call upon the name of Him.
4 You died, Lord, on Calvary
Your blood is flowing now for me.
Your blood, Lord, is precious.
O, what a price You paid for us!
What made You Lord to die for me?
You joined man’s race and took my place.
Redeeming us Jesus.
No tongue or pen can ever tell:
Your mercy reached me down in hell.
You reached me, Lord Jesus.

When will he return?
Dear Father, just kiss them,

He’s got too many now, it’s plain to see;
All He wants is One New Man forever,
And that doesn’t leave any room for you and me.
The only way that we’ll be one is Jesus!
The only way for Him to gather us,
Is by our EATING, DRINKING, BREATHING JESUS!
Until His riches overflow in us!
3 The Lord has put me in the church life,
Christ and the church, His image to express;
He’s chosen me according to His purpose,
And won’t be satisfied with something less.
The only way that we’ll be one is Jesus!
The only way for Him to gather us,
Is by our EATING, DRINKING, BREATHING JESUS!
Until His riches overflow in us!

Built up into a home, Your glory here to fill
In the church --- I must no longer roam.

Heart of granite, empty vessel,
Stop your running, there’s nowhere left to go.
3 In Your purpose, we just flow along in life.
It’s so simple, no more unrest and strife.
In the churches, we just enjoy You, Lord.
Here You can build us up, for we’re in one accord,
In the churches --- we know You’ll be back soon.

My heart could never be
Content with less than You.
Deep within, my heart cries out to You,
Hungry and thirsty too
For that sweet flow of life.
3 Shining One, in me direct Thy rays,
Shine through all false displays;
Let me not be deceived.
Lord, I know, I need Thy light to shine,
How else can I be Thine?
You must enlighten me.
4 Cleanse me now; don’t let one sin remain.
I cannot be the same;
Your life is all I need.
Oh forgive my failure and my sin.
Make me so clean within
So You can flow in me.
2 But love eternal appeared and He called me,
Out from the lost and hopeless race.
Into His Son now I have been transferred,
Born of the Spirit, into His grace.
3 I am God’s child now, free to enjoy Him.
The Spirit of life is reigning in me.
Christ is my walking, my living, my breathing,
All that I have and ever will be.
4 Chosen and guided into His purpose,
From individual to corporate man.
Now in His Body, we can experience
All the unlimited grace of His plan.
5 This is the mystery hidden from ages.
For this God brought us from sinner to son.
Practical church life, daily transforming
Into the oneness, God’s expression.

Darkness and death have ceased

2 But then I had a confrontation,
With a joyful delegation,
They were filled with great elation, Jesus too!
And Jesus paid a visitation,
By His new life germination,
I became a new creation through and through.
Oh, He made me scream and shout, “Hallelujah!”
Oh, He made me cry aloud, “Oh my Lord!”
Oh, He flooded me with joy
‘cause the glory in my spirit
Made me part of God’s own family.

2 Christ as Life – wondrous Person;
All His riches, now our full supply!
For the building, Life’s our need:
Life will build us – the enemy will fly
5 I ask Thee for the daily strength, to none that ask denied,
A mind to blend with outward life while keeping at Thy side;
Content to fill a little space, if Thou be glorified.
3 Let us rise – with our weapon;
Give ourselves for the Building of the Lord:
Slay contention, kill opinions:
This our weapon – the Spirit’s living sword.

I’d have my spirit filled the more with grateful love to Thee,
More careful, not to serve Thee much, but please Thee perfectly.

7 The briers besetting every path, they call for patient care;
There is a cross in every lot, an earnest need for prayer;
A lowly heart that leans on Thee is happy anywhere.
8 In service which Thy will appoints there are no bonds for me;
My inmost heart is taught “the truth” that makes Thy children
“free”
A life of self-renouncing love, a life of liberty.

You lit a lamp and searched my inward heart
Sanctifying deep within You shined in me,

2 In 1 John 5, it’s plain to see,
If I have the Son I have life in me.
He did come that we might have life,
And have it more abundantly.
In Him was life,
And the life was the light of men,
Only the life of God is life,
God’s life will never end.
You see, “I AM that I AM”
Is the life that has no end,
Any other so-called life
Must always die, my friend.
Life divine for all time,
In it only God we find.
He’s the source and the substance
Of this new life of mine!
A7 D
Till You fully have Your way.
2 Once we were in old Chaldea,
Worshipping the idols there;
But the God of Glory called us,
Save us all from Satan’s snare.
Get out, get out, from Chaldea,
From that evil foreign land.
Come in, come in, to the good land.
Christ, the church, the one new man.
3 With the calling comes the promise
Of the kingdom life on earth.
This becomes our strength and motive
To get out of all the dearth!
Lord, we’re crossing every river –
For this You must call us on,
Till Your kingdom and expression
On this earth are fully come.
4 This is now the highest gospel
To those still in Chaldee’s land –
Leave the fallen situation,
You’ve been chosen for God’s plan.
3 God flowed out Himself to earth,
Hence we have the Christ-child’s birth.
Then He flowed out once again,
From the pierced side of Him.
Once the rock is so struck,
Out the waters flow,
Now this life is poured out,
And it’s God that we know.
For it is life, life, life,
That is flowing from the throne.
The Lamb of God is seated there
To flow out to His own.
Life is God as a flow,
Reaching all of us to grow,
Firstfruits for the Master’s table,
This is the life we must know.

My soul-life I’ll give up for Him.
No worldly pleasure can compare
To what my Savior has to share.
4 How subtle is my self, Oh Lord;
Yet I wilt be transformed.
Through Spirit’s work – become a stone
To build up Thine own Bride.
4 And when He comes again,
All saints built up and one in Him.
His Body, Bride, and Counterpart,
Eternal pleasure of His heart.
5 How precious is Thy Body, Lord;
How costly in my sight.
I would decrease, and Thee increase
At any cost for her.
