The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit (#12)

  The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.
The Lord is the Spirit, the Spirit gives life.
But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
Oh, we have been joined to the Lord!
We are one spirit with Him.
The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.
The Lord is the Spirit, the Spirit gives life.

Corinthians Training Song #12 (1981)

This is an awesome hymn concisely putting together the key verses in the Bible on the processed Triune God, i. e. Christ, the last Adam = God becoming the flesh (John 1:14), becomng the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b) that we may be one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:17) as the Lord Spirit who gives life (2 Cor. 3:17-18; John 6:63).

I was inspired from the recent speaking of the ministry to add a stanza 2 to it, for our process of becoming the one new man by drinking Him:

Drink Jesus Glorified (John 7:37-39)

Be (renewed in the spirit of your) mind (Eph. 4:23)

Learn (Christ the) reality (Eph. 4:20-21)

Put on the one new man (Eph. 4:24)

But in the new man Christ is all

all and in all (Col. 3:10-11)

Oh, love Him, take Him your Person

We are one new man in Him

Drink Jesus Glorified

Be renewed in the spirit of your mind

Learn Christ the reality

Put on the one new man

Some inspiration based on 2017 summer training message #6 on the humanity of Jesus, drinking the Spirit of Jesus, mastigating the word of eternal life, as the new man for the building of God's house. Also some feelings from ITERO Leipzig on the new man, with key point being Christ the unique Person.

Extending NS 45, maybe as stanza 2.

* For the words in parentheses in the 2nd line, just go steadily by half a beat each.
