Inward, Hidden Parts

1
I am made so awesomely
And so wonderf’ly—
Inward parts and hidden part—
That I might know Thee.
Jesus, Lord, I come to Thee,
With an open heart.
I, my spirit exercise—
Inward, hidden parts.
2
Lord, I turn my heart to Thee.
Take my veils away,
Purify my heart to see
Thee through all my days.
Lord, I give my heart to Thee.
How I love Thee so!
Make Thy home in all my heart,
Through my being flow.
3
I, my spirit exercise,
Nothing outwardly.
By my spirit’s function—three—
I may contact Thee.
Touch my conscience thoroughly.
I, my sins confess.
Enter into fellowship,
Oneness with Thee sense.
4
Living God, I come to Thee.
From dead works save me.
Purify my conscience, Lord,
That I might serve Thee.
Daily, I now exercise
All sins to confess.
That my conscience clear may be,
Void of all offense.
5
Now I am in Penuel,
Face to face with God.
With an open, loving heart,
Spirit exercised.
Conscience, mind, emotion, will,
I will dig away,
That through me Thou may’st flow
Freely day by day.
  Jesus, Lord, I come to Thee,
With an open heart.
I, my spirit exercise—
Inward, hidden parts.

In Philippians Paul says, "Let this mind be in you" referring to the considering in verse 2:3 and the regarding in 2:4. To have such a mind requires us to be one with Christ in His inward parts (Phil. 1:8). To experience Christ, we need to be one with Him to this extent, that is, in His tender inward feeling and in His thinking.

O Lord Jesus we come to Thee. Do draw us with an open heart to exercise our spirit.

Living God, I come to Thee.

From dead works save me.

Purify my conscience, Lord,

That I might serve Thee.

Daily, I now exercise

All sins to confess.

That my conscience clear may be,

Void of all offense.

Lord Jesus this is my prayer to experience You in full. Amen.
