Once by nature we were dead in sin,
In a world of utter discord;
But together God has quickened us,
Raised us up to sit together with the Lord.
In a world of utter discord;
But together God has quickened us,
Raised us up to sit together with the Lord.
Jesus is getting us together,
Come and see the saints in one accord.
His love is knitting us together,
To the stature of the fullness of the Lord.
Come and see the saints in one accord.
His love is knitting us together,
To the stature of the fullness of the Lord.

Thus with all saints we can apprehend
All the vast dimensions of God.
Knowing Christ's love passes all we know,
We're together filled to fullness with our God.
All the vast dimensions of God.
Knowing Christ's love passes all we know,
We're together filled to fullness with our God.

Now we know the purpose of our God,
Visible the mystery became:
Christ, the church, together now we see,
And together put the enemy to shame.
Visible the mystery became:
Christ, the church, together now we see,
And together put the enemy to shame.

For this cause we pray the Father God—
Strengthen Thou with might our inner man;
Make Yourself at home in all our hearts,
Root us, ground us in Your love and for Your plan.
Strengthen Thou with might our inner man;
Make Yourself at home in all our hearts,
Root us, ground us in Your love and for Your plan.

In the Body we'll be fitly framed
As the many members Christ supply;
Working in the measure of each part,
All by growth in love the Body edify.
As the many members Christ supply;
Working in the measure of each part,
All by growth in love the Body edify.

Now we're one His purpose to fulfill,
As the one new man of His plan.
Unto Him be glory in the church,
And in Jesus Christ forevermore—Amen!
As the one new man of His plan.
Unto Him be glory in the church,
And in Jesus Christ forevermore—Amen!

God’s goal is to bring forth the one new man, a corporate God-man who expresses Him and represents Him.
Now we know the purpose of our God,
Visible the mystery became:
Christ, the church, together now we see, And together put the enemy to shame. Hallelujah 😀

Holding to truth in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, Christ; out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.
