To realize and participate

To realize and participate
In the deep and hidden things
God has ordained and prepared for us
Requires us not only to believe in Him
But also to love Him.
To fear God, to worship God,
And to believe in God,
That is, to receive God,
Are all inadequate;
To love Him is the indispensable requirement.
To love Him is the indispensable requirement.

The full song is on youtube (posted by Joseph's storehouse), I believe this version was sung by saints in Seattle in the early 2000s.

Lyrics from the Youtube comment (almost verbatim from the footnote 1 Cor 2:9):

To realize and participate in the deep and hidden things God has ordained and prepared for us requires us not only to believe in Him but also to love Him. To fear God, to worship God, and to believe in God (that is, to receive God) are all inadequate; to love Him is the indispensable requirement. (to love Him is the indispensable requirement)

To love God means to set our entire being—spirit, soul, and body, with the heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30)—absolutely on Him, that is, to let our entire being be occupied by Him and lost in Him, so that He becomes everything to us and we are one with Him practically in our daily life.

In this way we have the closest and most intimate fellowship with God, and we are able to enter into His heart and apprehend all its secrets (Psa. 73:25; 25:14). Thus, we not only realize but also experience, enjoy, and fully participate in these deep and hidden things of God. (in these deep and hidden things of God)

To love Him is the indispensable requirement.

To love Him is the indispensable requirement.

The original tune for this footnote 3 of 1 Cor. 2:9 was written by DY from the Training on the book of 1 Cor. This is not the original tune and this tune was not composed by him.

It is one of my very favorite footnotes revealing the unfathomable depths of God’s heart for those who love Him.

Lord Jesus, we love You! We set our entire being absolutely on You. We let our entire being be occupied by You and lost in You. May You become everything to us and may we be one with You practically in our daily life. Amen, Lord, we come to You in Your word. We appreciate Your wonderful person. We open to You and we want to just enjoy You. You are so wonderful.

A fuller version of this song (the full footnote) can be found on YouTube and soundcloud if you search this title.

I'd still love to hear the "original tune" from the training if anyone has a recording or link to it. Or a new recording can be made if someone can convey the tune somehow...

i agree with JL the original tune during the 1 Cor. life study training was wonderful. I hope it is not lost.

This is a marvelous footnote. I thought the original tune on guitar sounded much more moving during the 1 Corinthians Life-Study Training.

At last, it was posted on hymnal.net. To love Him is the indispensable requirement. Whatever we do in the church life, whether services, meeting, prophesying etc., the important is we must Love the Lord with the Whole of our might which is an indispensable requirement. Lord Jesus we Love You.
