This the Lord doth signify;
For His purpose is the Body,
And with it we must comply.
Never independently;
As the members of the Body,
Functioning relatedly.
Not as individuals free;
We must always serve together,
All related mutually.
And a house for God must be,
As the holy priesthood serving,
In a blessed harmony.
In position minister;
For the basis of our service
Is the body character.
From the Body, our supply;
If detached and isolated,
Out of function we will die.
Riches of the Head we share;
’Tis by functioning as members
Christ’s full measure we will bear.
That we may together grow,
From the Head supplies incoming
Thru us to the Body flow.
May we be transformed to prove
All Thy will, to know Thy Body,
And therein to serve and move.
