My old person has been nullified; With my Lord upon the cross he died; Now in nothing shall he be applied; He’s dead to me. My new Person in my spirit dwells; Springing in me as a bubbling well; Flowing out until each part He fills With abundant life. Christ, my Person, in my spirit lives; And my heart to Him I’d daily give; That my inner man could have a home And a place to settle down, yes, A place to call His own, and— There be my complete reality, There expressing all He is to me, Living in my heart abundantly As my Person real. |

By this Person being formed in me, I’ll a member of His Body be, No more acting individually, But with the saints. More and more our Person He must be; That our natural personality Be eliminated thoroughly Till Christ is all. Only Christ, our Person, must remain; From our aims, our goals we must refrain, Till the church be only Christ Himself Built up as the one new man, Thus fulfilling God’s great plan of— Mingling fully with the human race To obtain a proper dwelling place, ’Stablishing His kingdom’s rule and grace; Over all the earth. |
| Not Himself just individually, But the church together corporately, Taking Christ as all in all, to be The full-grown, perfect man. |

Now in nothing shall he be applied;
Colossians 3:5a Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth
He's dead to me.
Galatians 5:24 But they who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and its lust.
footnote «have» [... ] The crucifixion of our old man and the “I” is a fact accomplished by Christ on the cross, whereas the crucifying of our flesh with its passions and its lusts is our practical experience of the fact. This practical experience must be carried out through the Spirit by our executing of the crucifixion that Christ accomplished. This is to put to death by the Spirit the practices of our lustful body with its evil members (Rom. 8:13b; Col. 3:5).
We have to tell the old man, “I am not your house for you to live in. I am your tomb for you to be buried in. ” (The Experience and Growth in Life, Chapter 16, Section 2)

Our natural person need to be fully eliminated untill His person will remain.
Refrain from our own aims and goals for Christ to fully gain the church as the one new man.
