When I came to this hymn I was brought to tears. Why I am I always looking for what I want to see and what is pleasant or pleasurable for me. A true worshiper should be looking for what God intends to do and what pleases Him. God’s pleasure is that Christ would be everything to me. This is not performing outward things, but letting Him work inwardly. I don’t want to be like many that seek their own things. This can happen even in the church. I realize that for me to be one with this Christ and take Him as my all, I must die to self and be willing to partake of His sufferings. The Lord suffered not only for the gospel but also for the perfecting of His humanity.

I praise & thank You O God & Father! Your intent and pleasure, is to have Christ Your very Son: be revealed in me as the Spirit within; be wrought in me to be my all; may live in me to work inwardly; be formed in me to grow inwardly; make home in me to dwell inwardly; be my hope of glory subjectively; and be all in me eternally! Oh what a Christ I have inside of me! I love You, dear Lord!

God's revealing of His Son to us is in us; it is not outward but inward, not by an outward vision but by an inward seeing. It is not an objective revelation but a subjective one. - Gal 1:16, fn. 3, "in"

2 Cor 5:5 - Now He who has wrought us for this very thing is God, who has given to us the Spirit as a pledge.
Wrought:
Or, fashioned, shaped, prepared, made fit. God has wrought us, fashioned us, shaped us, prepared us, made us fit, for the very purpose that our mortal body might be swallowed up by His resurrection life.
Pledge:
Eph 1:14 - Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
