Splendid church life! His green garden!

English1237

Splendid church life! His green garden!
He has brought us, praise the Lord,
To experience the Christ Who’s growing here!
He is full of rich enjoyment
To His saints in one accord;
He is new and fresh, available and dear.

I’m so happy in this lovely place,
In the garden growing in His grace!
There is no finer pleasure
Than to eat the living tree
And to get the living water into me.

It is not a school or fact’ry
Or a chapel in the air;
But a garden where our Lord can plant and sow.
So He’s placed us all here corporately
To be His garden fair,
Where He’s free to cultivate and make us grow.

Thus within the church-life garden
There’s a fruit-producing tree
Full of life and so available to eat.
So be simple, don’t be hardened,
Drop your concepts—eat that tree!
Take in Jesus every moment—He’s so sweet!

With the tree there is the water,
Flowing God in Christ to us,
Quenching all our dryness, ending all our strife.
Hallelujah! In His garden
Jesus flows Himself to us,
As the full supply for us to grow in life.

Aren’t you satisfied and thankful
That our Lord has brought you in
Where His pleasures and His riches flow so free?
So be happy and be joyful,
In the spirit feast on Him,
So God’s garden can bear fruit abundantly.

Praise the Lord! God’s way to build up the church is by our enjoying Christ as the tree of life and ministering Christ to others as life, for only God’s life flowing in and out and among us can build up the church. Hallelujah 😀

What a joy to sing of the splendid church life as His green garden! This hymn beautifully captures the organic experience of Christ as life in the Body. How wonderful that He has placed us corporately in His garden—not as a school or factory, but as a living, growing place where we can enjoy Him as the tree of life and drink of His flowing supply! Praise the Lord for such a rich and available Christ, full of freshness and enjoyment. May we remain simple, open, and continually feasting on Him, that His garden may flourish and bear abundant fruit!

Wanted to emphasize what it says on the quote section!!!

“First Corinthians 1:9 says that our faithful God has called us into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ. The word "fellowship" includes the thought of enjoyment. Sometimes people may celebrate something by having a party. For us to fellowship together is to have a "party." A party is a fellowship. The Christian meeting may be considered as a Christian party. Every meeting is a party to us. I am interpreting the word party in a very positive sense. A party is an enjoyment. If we are at a party, you will enjoy me and I will enjoy you. We will share our joy and feelings with one another. We are so happy when we are meeting with the saints because our meeting, in a positive sense, is a party.

In our hymnal, there is a hymn about the church life which begins, "I'm so happy in this lovely place" (#1237). It is hard to enjoy such a hymn by ourselves. If we were at home alone in our living room, it would be difficult to sing, "I'm so happy in the living room." But if you are in a small group meeting of ten to fifteen saints, you can declare—"I'm so happy!"—because you are having fellowship, a party. This party is not like the parties in the world with sinful and worldly things. It is a party of the Son, Jesus Christ. We are enjoying Him. We are happy with Him and happy because of Him. We are so happy because He is our joy. He is our enjoyment. Our fellowship, our enjoyment, our party, is to partake of, to participate in, the all-inclusive Christ. The faithful God has called us with a purpose. This purpose is that we may participate in His Son, Jesus Christ. This means that God has given us Christ and that He has called us into the enjoyment of Christ. ”

Thank you Lord, that You’ve placed us all here corporately, not individually. That we may be your garden fair, where You are free to cultivate and make us grow. 🌱
