Life is mysterious, life is God Himself,
Whose whole intention focuses on man.
God made him to take in the tree of life,
To have a man of life for His own plan.

God made him to take in the tree of life,
To have a man of life for His own plan.

But man was tempted and seduced to sin,
By taking knowledge from the other source.
This man then fell as knowledge entered in
And dominated him with all its force.

This man then fell as knowledge entered in
And dominated him with all its force.

This knowledge has developed in the man
Into the human culture on the earth.
So man, created to fulfill God's plan,
Became a failure full of Satan's dearth.

Then God came in the Person of the Son;
Lived He on earth, Christ Jesus was His name—
A living model so that everyone
Could live by life, God's fullness to obtain.

This God-man, Christ, went to the cross and died,
By death He ended knowledge, the old man.
Things negative forever crucified,
Death He subdued, a new life He began!

From death He resurrected and became
The living Spirit to give life to us.
When we believe and call upon His name;
This living Spirit comes to dwell in us.

By this the very Triune God is now
The living Spirit mingling deep within.
Our spirit joins in oneness; this is how
We are one spirit evermore with Him.

We are one spirit evermore with Him.

'Tis by this Spirit that we walk and act,
We have our being, think, and see all things;
We're now within this Spirit! What a fact!
This Spirit to us all God's fullness brings!
We have our being, think, and see all things;
We're now within this Spirit! What a fact!

So now we have to set our mind on Him;
Each day, each hour, our mind on Him must be;
That by this Spirit we'd be saved within
By life and reign in life eternally.

That by this Spirit we'd be saved within

'Tis by this Spirit that we shall be freed
From Sin whose law inside us death would bring.
Our mortal bodies will have life indeed;
Thus sanctified we'll be in everything.
From Sin whose law inside us death would bring.
Our mortal bodies will have life indeed;
Thus sanctified we'll be in everything.
11
This Spirit shall transform our natural life,
Save us from self, build us in one new man,
Till we're conformed to be like Jesus Christ,
Thus finishing our God's eternal plan.
Save us from self, build us in one new man,
Till we're conformed to be like Jesus Christ,
Thus finishing our God's eternal plan.

Life is our God and life is Christ our Lord.
Life is the Spirit. Life's the only way—
Till we're transfigured and redeemed to God.
We're waiting, looking forward to that day!

Life is God and life is Christ our Lord, we press on toward the goal set before us forgetting the things which are behind. Living in the Spirit is the only way to overcome, may all genuine believers take this God Ordained way!

Rom. 8. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has freed me in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and of death.
Thank You Lord for the law of the Spirit of life that has been installed into us, we just need to switch on and we will be freed from the law of sin and of death. Amen.

Hi David, I do not know if this portion is in any publications yet but the recording of brother Lee's speaking was played in Message 5 "Being Saved in Life & Reigning in Life for the Body Life" of the Winter Training in 2009 on the Crystalization-Study of the Gospel of God in the Book of Romans.

Amen. What a revelation and experience of life. Who knows what book this is from? I heard that this is what brother Lee shared in the 70's after his illness on a wheel chair of a recorded message.
