 1  Our worship in reality

    Is typified in Moses' law:

    With Canaan's produce, rich and sweet,

    All Israel came and worshipped God.

 

 2  'Tis thus that we must come today

    To worship in reality:

    When we bring Christ as produce sweet

    God fully satisfied will be.

 

 3  The worship that God so desired

    Was not with manna sent from heav'n,

    But from their labor on the land

    The people's gifts to God were giv'n.

 

 4  Thus, what God so desires today.

    Are not the miracles so grand,

    But daily, normal life in Christ,

    As worship, produce of the land.

 

 5  The manna came from God alone;

    The produce, from man's work on Him.

    So all our worship now must come

    From mingling with the Lord within.

 

 6  As day by day we live in Christ,

    And take Him as our everything,

    The produce of the land comes forth

    And worship true to God we'll bring.

 

 7  The manna, Lord, no more we'll seek,

    But Christ in all we will apply;

    Then we will have some produce sweet,

    Thine own dear heart to satisfy.
