On Christ we here would focus, No other center make; With Christ in sweet communion His riches to partake. He is our Head and content, His Body we express; Whate’er we do while meeting Himself must manifest.

Built up in love together, Not one would criticize; To perfect one another, We all would exercise. Each one from self delivered, The natural life forsakes; In grace each trained in spirit The Body-life partakes.

Lord, don’t let us be spectators. We are members of You learning how to function, expressing Your fullness, perfecting one another. Build us up together in love.
The lyrics is very down to earth and practical. But anyone knows the composer? It should be given always if possible, including translators of songs, for two simple reasons: One, to give the credit where credit is due. Two: to place the responsibility likewise.
With our focus on Christ and remembering His death, burial and resurrection we are blessed beyond measure. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for saving me and bringing me to this website, it is work by His Holy Spirit! Amen.
