Thine own likeness to possess,
Thine intention was that he
Take Thee in and Thee express.

But, instead, man was deceived,
To the knowledge-tree misled.
Then, Thy plan he did forsake;
To the self he’d live instead.

We’d allow Thy peace to reign,
In the Body-life we’d live;
No more self-directed be,
For Thy church our all we’d give.

Build the saints into Thine house

Amen, Lord replace our culture and all of our old man with Yourself as the all-inclusive and extensive Christ!

Father, according to the riches of Your glory, strengthen us with power through Your Spirit into our inner man that we may allow you to make your home in all our hearts. So that you may become the person of our hearts to manifest Yourself through us, and build us into Thine house that'd we bear Thine image.
