This Hymn is categorized “Building [by love] by the growth in [Christ’s] life, It is about the experience of a body life living Christ. There are so very few hymns like this illustrating a practical Christian living where we recognize the body and where we can grow and be built up in life and love. Why is that?? The word we eat should help us grow which produces this kind of life. Are we too proud of our vision of the church? Are we neglecting the practical church life where we are built up?

This is really our practical living and experience when we are with the saints. Thus, to live in a holy life for the church life, come on with the saints.
