Dead in sin and void of purpose

NS458
1
Dead in sin and void of purpose,
In pursuit of vanity;
Occupied with life's vainglory,
Groped I for my life's true meaning
In the world and without Thee,
In the world and without Thee.

Then one day I heard the gospel,
I believed and called on Thee;
Thou as life came in to fill me,
Making life so full of meaning
As the Son revealed in me,
As the Son revealed in me.

Making life so full of meaning
As the Son revealed in me,

All-inclusive was the transfer,
Baptized—four-fold—into Thee,
Into Thy death, Body, and Person,
Thus to live and walk in newness;
One in life and living with Thee,
One in life and living with Thee.

Captivated by Thy beauty,
I left all to follow Thee;
All my hopes and dreams forsaking,
Counting all as loss and refuse;
Losing sight of all but Thee,
Losing sight of all but Thee.
Captivated by Thy beauty,
I left all to follow Thee;
All my hopes and dreams forsaking,
Counting all as loss and refuse;
Losing sight of all but Thee,
Losing sight of all but Thee.

Strengthening me with Thy power,
Through Thy Spirit inwardly;
From my spirit Thou art spreading,
All my soul Thou art transforming;
Thou art making home in me,
Thou art making home in me.
Strengthening me with Thy power,
Through Thy Spirit inwardly;
From my spirit Thou art spreading,
All my soul Thou art transforming;
Thou art making home in me,
Thou art making home in me.

I'd grow up in Thee in all things
Till I am the same as Thee;
Till through me, Thou, once more living,
And my human virtues filling;
Art thus fully formed in me,
Art thus fully formed in me.
I'd grow up in Thee in all things
Till I am the same as Thee;
Till through me, Thou, once more living,
And my human virtues filling;
Art thus fully formed in me,
Art thus fully formed in me.

Using all things, persons, and matters
Thou art disciplining me
Till by outer man consuming,
And my inner-man renewing;
'Tis no longer I but Thee
'Tis no longer I but Thee.
Using all things, persons, and matters
Thou art disciplining me
Till by outer man consuming,
And my inner-man renewing;
'Tis no longer I but Thee
'Tis no longer I but Thee.

Not alone but with Thy members
Thou art sweetly placing me;
Fitting me into Thy building,
Blending out all self distinctions,
That Thy church would builded be,
That Thy church would builded be.
Not alone but with Thy members
Thou art sweetly placing me;
Fitting me into Thy building,
Blending out all self distinctions,
That Thy church would builded be,
That Thy church would builded be.

Till that day I stand before Thee;
Render my account to Thee,
Grant me grace that I'd live daily
One with Thee in Thine appearing;
Thou, my glorious hope, to be,
Thou, my glorious hope, to be.
Till that day I stand before Thee;
Render my account to Thee,
Grant me grace that I'd live daily
One with Thee in Thine appearing;
Thou, my glorious hope, to be,
Thou, my glorious hope, to be.
