Verse 1: Lord, to know Thee as our Person, Earnestly we seek and pray; To experience Thy fulness In a constant inner way. Never longer only outward Or with soulish thoughts obsessed, But, O Lord, in realest contact We by Thee would be possessed. Verse 2: All the world is under darkness, Driven by the fallen soul, And the enemy designing Does the soulish life control. Such we were till God, through mercy, Caused His Son to dwell in us; Now we fully come to know Him In His church so glorious. Verse 3: Once we walked a soulish person, Wandering in the wilderness, Never knowing that our spirit Craved God's fullness to express; At the moment Jesus entered Instantly the whole was changed. Now we're people spirit-centered! Hallelujah! Rearranged! Verse 4: Now our spirit is our person— What a glorious fact is this! Christ Himself in us expressing God's intent and holiness. Not the soul-life's vain delusion, But the spirit strengthened is; Christ Himself is now our Person— He is ours and we are His.
