Make me an inward Christian, Lord,
Weighty within I'd be;
I'd do things from the deepest part,
Live fully unto Thee.

To not by knowledge, doctrine, live,
But eat the tree of life;
First caring for the flow within,
Never by self to strive.

Not outward changing of myself,
But transformed inwardly,
Not self improvement, self control,
But Christ who reigns in me.

Unfazed by outward sufferings,
Glory to glory bring;
Through Baca's valley traveling,
Yet making it a spring.

Highways to Zion make my heart,
From strength to strength each day
Taking the church way inwardly,
The inner life t'obey.

Living in the reality,
Though outward shell we see,
On the intrinsic focusing,
We'll constituted be.

Praise the Lord! Our Christian life is not a religious life, a life lived by the rules and regulations in the Bible; rather, our Christian life is Christ Himself lived out through us. By taking Christ as our life and person, and at the same time by experiencing the cross. We need to be able to say like Paul, For me, to live is Christ; our testimony as normal believers in Christ should be, I am crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me (Phil. 1:21; Gal. 2:20). Hallelujah 😀
