Once far from God and dead in sin,
No light my heart could see;
But in God's Word the light I found,
Now Christ liveth in me.
No light my heart could see;
But in God's Word the light I found,
Now Christ liveth in me.
Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.

As rays of light from yonder sun,
The flow'rs of earth set free,
So life and light and love come forth
From Christ living in me.
The flow'rs of earth set free,
So life and light and love come forth
From Christ living in me.

As lives the flow'r within the seed,
As in the cone the tree,
So, praise the Christ of truth and grace,
His Spirit dwelleth in me.
As in the cone the tree,
So, praise the Christ of truth and grace,
His Spirit dwelleth in me.

With longing all my heart is filled,
That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
That Christ liveth in me.
That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
That Christ liveth in me.

Daniel Webster Whittle was born on November 22, 1840 in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts and died March 4th, 1901 in Northfield, MA.
He was a gospel song lyricist, evangelist and Bible teacher. Whittle is associated with the evangelistic campaigns of D. L. Moody.
He married Abbie Hanson in 1861. The night before he was deployed with company B of the 72nd Illinois Infantry during the Civil War. He was wounded at Vicksburg and marched with General Sherman’s forces through Georgia. Whittle was promoted with the rank of major at the end of the war and still is know among hymnologists as Major Whittle.
Settling down in Chicago to work for the Elgin Clock Company, he became closely associated with Moody who encouraged him to go into evangelistic work.
One of Whittle’s war experiences served as a basis for the gospel song “Hold the Fort” by Phillip Paul Bliss of whom Whittle edited a biography. Of his nearly 200 hymns, “I Know Whom I Have Believed in” is among his most popular which is under his pseudo name EL NATHAN.

The simplicity and humility of this hymn touches my spirit, as it reflects on this great truth: that Jesus Christ, the Pantocrator, the Theanthropos, dwells in us!
With longing all my heart is filled,
That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
That CHRIST LIVETH IN ME.

How many of us have allowed True Life to flow and permeate our body? Life of Christ is offered on the Cross. It is received by Faith of the Son of God who has loved us enough to allow His Spirit to Live His Life. Speak Life to every part. Experience it so that I can run and not be weary, walk and not faint. Look and see clearly. Lord Jesus, let me bring Your Life to someone today.

He lives within me, He prays His prayers in me, He wakes me up in the morning to let me talk to Him, let's talk He said, and He does that consistently, He longs for this sweet relationship with me,
He's in love with me and thus I Him.
I am in love with my Savior!
So romantic, so fulfilling, so peaceful,
And now He's next to me, smiling at me as I text.

Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.
Instead of imitating Christ, we should live Him. In order to live Christ, we need to call on Him and enjoy Him. This is the way to live a victorious life, which is actually the overcoming Christ as our life.

If Colossians 2 had a theme song, this would be it. What a lovely reminder of God's indwelling Spirit!
