Once by nature we were dead in sin,
In a world of utter discord;
But together God has quickened us,
Raised us up to sit together with the Lord.

Jesus is getting us together,
Come and see the saints in one accord.

To the stature of the fullness of the Lord.

Thus with all saints we can apprehend
All the vast dimensions of God.
Knowing Christ’s love passes all we know,
We’re together filled to fullness with our God.

Now we know the purpose of our God,
Visible the mystery became:
Christ, the church, together now we see,
And together put the enemy to shame.

Root us, ground us in Your love and for Your plan.

In the Body we’ll be fitly framed
As the many members Christ supply;
Working in the measure of each part,
All by growth in love the Body edify.

I have sung this song since my youth. I now sing it with some vision that Paul imparted in his epistle to the Ephesians. Above all God cares for the oneness of the body. We can only be one by living in spirit by the new man through Jesus’ work. He is the one getting us together. This song is so loaded with Truth. I did not get past verse one.
Our old nature is dead in sin. In fact something of Satan’s nature is expressed in our old man. Now in Christ we are a new creation. Inwardly, in our spirit is this new resurrected life. We can live by this life. We need the body life (church life) to expose this evil nature. But our condition is not hopeless because of Christ’s work on the cross! Now we are alive in Christ Jesus! But this heavenly vision must come down to earth where we live with brothers and sisters. This is really where the rubber meets the road and God can move on the earth according to His plan.

God’s goal is to bring forth the one new man, a corporate God-man who expresses Him and represents Him.
Now we know the purpose of our God,
Visible the mystery became:
Christ, the church, together now we see, And together put the enemy to shame. Hallelujah 😀
great song, lyrics and tune!

Holding to truth in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, Christ; out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.
