#1178

 

 1  My old person has been nullified;

    With my Lord upon the cross he died;

    Now in nothing shall he be applied;

       He's dead to me.

    My new Person in my spirit dwells;

    Springing in me as a bubbling well;

    Flowing out until each part He fills

       With abundant life.

 

Christ, my Person, in my spirit lives;

And my heart to Him I'd daily give;

That my inner man could have a home

And a place to settle down, yes,

A place to call His own, and —

There be my complete reality,

There expressing all He is to me,

Living in my heart abundantly

   As my Person real.

 

 2  By this Person being formed in me,

    I'll a member of His Body be,

    No more acting individually,

       But with the saints.

    More and more our Person He must be;

    That our natural personality

    Be eliminated thoroughly

       Till Christ is all.

 

Only Christ, our Person, must remain;

From our aims, our goals we must refrain,

Till the church be only Christ Himself

Built up as the one new man,

Thus fulfilling God's great plan of —

Mingling fully with the human race

To obtain a proper dwelling place,

'Stablishing His kingdom's rule and grace;

   Over all the earth.

 

Not Himself just individually,

But the church together corporately,

Taking Christ as all in all, to be

   The full-grown, perfect man.
