Lord, to know Thee as the Body

English1225

Lord, to know Thee as the Body,
Is my desperate need today,
Oh, to see Thee in Thy members,
’Tis for this I long and pray.
No more just to know Thy headship
In an individual way,
But to see Thee incarnated,
As the Body-Christ, I pray.

Through the years, Thy saints have sought Thee,
Longing for reality;
Gazing upward, searching inward,
Thirsting for the sight of Thee.
Now reveal that Christ in heaven,
Is the Body manifest;
And the Christ who dwells within us
As the Body is expressed.

Prone to be misled, I know it,
By my lofty thoughts of Thee,
Easy ’tis for self to seek Thee,
Yet not touch reality,
Oh, how much I need to find Thee,
In Thy members here below.
God eternal dwells among us,
Manifest in flesh to know.

Limit, Lord, my independence,
Let me to Thy Body turn;
Not just seeking light from heaven,
But the church's sense to learn.
May we be the stones for building
Not the formless, useless clay,
Gain in us Thy heart's desire
Corporately Thyself display.

For the building up of the Body to be the Lord's bride it is so crucial in these days that we realize when we say "Christ" we are not referring to just Christ as the head of the Body but as all the members who compose the Body of Christ... "But to see Thee Incarnated as the Body- Christ, I pray.

May the Lord have mercy on us and shine on the self-life so that we may see how busy the self is, how active and how zealous the self is. Only when the Lord in His mercy shines on us and exposes the self in its independence from God and from the Body can we truly allow the cross to be applied to us and deny the self. Lord, we need You every day 🙏. We love you Lord Jesus ❤️

May the Lord grant me the clear revelation of the Body and an understanding to know the body in reality. Amen
