Our God is living—say, Hallelujah
- Our God is living—say, Hallelujah!
He's living in us—say, Hallelujah!
We taste His riches,
He is our portion.
Just say 'O Lord' to taste and see. - We come together—there's nothing better—
For in the Spirit we are His family,
His living Body!
We just express Him.
Jesus is our reality. - In all the churches we're being filled now
For the saturation throughout the nation,
To spread our Jesus
To every city—
This land will see the living Christ.
Mar. 26, 2008Hymnal.NetOur enjoyment of the Body-Christ is the reason we sing, "We come together—there's nothing better" (Hymns, #1196). Coming together as the Body-Christ is better than waiting for a heaven that is far away and in the future. In the church we come together here and now. There is nothing better than this, because nowhere else can we enjoy the Body-Christ. If we stay at home, we may be able to enjoy Christ as our power, wisdom, or other items, but in order to enjoy the Body-Christ, we must be in the church. We may miss many other things, but we should not miss one meeting of the church. It is in the church that we are in the position to drink the Body-Christ, the Christ who is the life-giving Spirit in the Body. There is no other place to drink the Body-Christ but in the coming together of the church. Even in the meetings of the local churches we do not enjoy Christ as much as we do in the conferences of the churches. In the conference meetings we enjoy an even greater Body-Christ. Therefore, it is worthwhile to pay the price to come to the conferences. We cannot obtain such an enjoyment anywhere else. Hallelujah, in the church we enjoy the Body-Christ!
