In God’s economy Christ is unique

In God’s economy Christ is unique; He holds the first place and centrality. All is in Him, through Him, and unto Him; He is all—the universality. |
| Christ plus nothing, Christ plus nothing is everything; In God’s eternal economy Christ plus nothing equals everything. |

Within the Godhead the center is Christ, In Him the fullness is pleased thus to dwell; All that the Father is He doth express And of His Person the Spirit doth tell. |

The universe was created through Christ, In Him do all things cohere and subsist; Framed by His Word and upheld by His power, As the Firstborn in whom all things exist. |

Looking away from the prophets and law, Christ, God’s delight and beloved, we see; For all things testify concerning Him, Of all the shadows, the body is He. |

In the new man Christ is all and in all, In resurrection the Firstborn is He, All persons, matters, and things are crossed out, Christ alone is the constituency. |

The New Jerusalem will consummate With Christ, as Head, over all things to be The Lamb enthroned—its unique centerpiece Ruling and reigning for eternity. |

Christ as the element, sphere, means, and goal Must be our center, our focus, and aim; In God’s economy Christ must be all: The inward substance and the outward frame. |

Oh, may it be—Christ plus nothing in me; Neither my old man self-cultivating Nor substitute, nor addition to Thee But Christ as all and in all—everything. |
