The Spirit of life is within us today,
Who’s likened to water our thirst to allay;
Of Him we may drink and be filled thus with Him,
Until as a river He flows from within.

The Spirit of pow’r comes upon us today,
Who’s likened to clothing ourselves to array;
In Him we are baptized, with Him we are dressed,
For service equipping with power possessed.

The Spirit of life is as breath glorious,
As spirit of life it is breathed into us;
The Spirit of pow’r doth the wind typify,
Which bloweth upon us with pow’r from on high.

Into His disciples the risen Lord breathed,
The Spirit of life thus to them He bequeathed;
Th’ ascended Lord poured at the Pentecost hour
Upon His disciples the Spirit of pow’r.

The Spirit of life is within as the life,
The Spirit of power is giv’n for this life;
As blowing of wind brings the fresh air to breathe,
The Spirit of power to life doth bequeath.

These are not two spirits apart and afar,
But of the one Spirit the two functions are,
To clothe us with God and to fill us within,
That we may be thoroughly mingled with Him.

Lord, fill with Thy Spirit of life every part,
That we may grow up in Thy life as Thou art;
And clothe us without with Thy Spirit of pow’r
Thy will to fulfill in Thy service each hour.
That we may grow up in Thy life as Thou art;
And clothe us without with Thy Spirit of pow’r
Thy will to fulfill in Thy service each hour.

THE DIVINE ECONOMY IN CHRIST BAPTIZING ALL THE BELIEVERS IN THE SPIRIT INTO ONE BODY
In the New Testament two aspects of the Spirit are revealed—the Spirit of life and the Spirit of power. The Spirit of life is within us, whereas the Spirit of power is outside of us. The Spirit of life is essential, and the Spirit of power is economical. Anything that is economical is not as crucial as something that is essential. The Spirit of life comes to us and reaches and enters into us as the divine essence to constitute us into something divine. However, the Spirit of power is not related to the divine essence but to the economy. Many New Testament readers and teachers have not been clear concerning the Spirit of life, the essential Spirit, and the Spirit of power, the economical Spirit.
