1 In spirit and in truth, O Lord,
We meet to worship here;
As taught by Christ, the Son of God,
We now in Him draw near.
2 Thank God, He is a Spirit true,
So near, so dear to us;
That we may contact Him in life,
In truth to worship thus.
3 A spirit God has made for us
That we may worship Him,
Not striving, serving outwardly,
But seeking from within.
4 Regenerated by the Lord,
Renewed in mind and heart,
He dwells within us as our life
True worship to impart.
5 We worship here according to
The inner consciousness,
Anointed by His Spirit now
His fulness we express.
6 In truth we serve and worship too,
In shadows nevermore,
In Christ, the one reality,
The Father we adore.
7 To God we offer Christ the Lord
Whom we experience;
With God we too delight in Him,
His light and sweetness sense.
8 In spirit and reality
Together here we meet,
To worship, praise, and fellowship
Around the mercy-seat.
