1 Life is mysterious, life is God Himself,
Whose whole intention focuses on man.
2 But man was tempted and seduced to sin,
By taking knowledge from the other source.
3 This knowledge has developed in the man
Into the human culture on the earth.
4 Then God came in the Person of the Son;
Lived He on earth, Christ Jesus was His name —
5 This God-man, Christ, went to the cross and died,
By death He ended knowledge, the old man.
6 From death He resurrected and became
The living Spirit to give life to us.
7 By this the very Triune God is now
The living Spirit mingling deep within.
8 'Tis by this Spirit that we walk and act,
We have our being, think, and see all things;
9 So now we have to set our mind on Him;
Each day, each hour, our mind on Him must be;
10 'Tis by this Spirit that we shall be freed
From Sin whose law inside us death would bring.
11 This Spirit shall transform our natural life,
Save us from self, build us in one new man,
12 Life is our God and life is Christ our Lord.
Life is the Spirit. Life's the only way —
