God’s divine nature is planted in His Son,
God’s divine life in Jesus Christ has come;
From all His riches God’s power is released,
Through Christ in us His kingdom is increased.
God by His promises, precious, sure, and great,
We, as His sons, God’s nature can partake;
How from corruption and lust can we escape?
Enjoy Christ as our equally precious faith.

Richly and bountif’lly supplied unto you,
There is an entrance to the kingdom in view;
Let us be diligent to enter in,
We grow, develop, enter into Him!

All of God’s riches compressed into this seed,
Equally precious faith, will meet our need;
God’s divine energy, virtue from within,
Supplies the way to make us just like Him.
Virtue brings knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ,
God’s divine power, and Christ to be our life;
And, with all diligence, His life we will absorb,
While rooted, grounded in God’s Holy Word.

Self-control, dwells in the structure of the tree,
Self kept in check, from our spirit is set free;
Life now can flow and our passions and our lust
Will be restrained, for this in God we trust.
Christ our endurance will branch, increase, and grow;
Passing though hardship, Christ’s sufferings we know;
Our daily living with spirit exercised,
Expresses God to be our kingdom prize.

Godliness thrives in a garden of God’s love,
Brotherly love with a source from heav’n above,
Love so delightful, love steadfast, strong and pure.
A blooming love, a love that will endure.
Ultimate love is the sweet, eternal fruit,
God, as true love, through the branch, the trunk, and root;
Nobler and higher, such love we now shall be
Love growing, shining through eternity.

Wonderful song from last year's Thanksgiving Day Conference to descrribe the experience of partaking of the divine nature. These are exceedingly rich verses describing how our enjoyment of our equally precious faith seed richly and bountifully supplies us with all things that relate to life and Godliness, especially the exceedingly great precious promises us to escape the corruption and grow tomaturity in Him. Thank You, Lord Jesus. Thank You God the Father.
