Not of letters, but of spirit, The New Testamental way; For ’tis life the spirit giveth, But the letters always slay. Outward work God never reckons, But what’s from the inmost part; It is not to serve in letter, But life’s newness to impart. |

Not just by the outward teachings, But by His anointing moved; Not just by the outward pattern, But by inward vision proved. Not by human rules or rituals, But by heaven’s rule within; Not by human-made decisions, But by guidance giv’n of Him. |

Not a dead religion serving, But in Christ as life to live; Not theology dispensing, But a living Christ to give. Not the knowledge of mere doctrine, But the message Christ should be; Not the gifts, the forms, the teachings, But God’s Christ—reality. |

Not objectively to worship, But to serve Him inwardly; Not to preach a Christ objective, But Himself subjectively. Not just by the Scripture serving, But in spirit and in life; Not by flesh, but by the Spirit Filling, freeing from all strife. |
