The principle of incarnation
Is but the blend of God and man,
Both acting in cooperation
To thus fulfill th' eternal plan.

To God, the man is His expression,
And man is of God's life possessed;
The man is wholly God's possession,
And God thru man is thus expressed.

Redemption is accomplished fully
In man, God's wisdom thus to show;
Salvation is expounded wholly
By man, that all creation know.

God's service in this dispensation
Requires that man should work with Him;
Thus God and man in close relation
And joint dependence work therein.

It is not God Himself to labor,
Nor man to try to serve alone,
But God and man to work together
Each moment that His plan be shown.

The principle of incarnation
To all our work we must apply,
To all our gift and operation,
That we as one may serve thereby.

Praise the Lord for such a blending and cooperation between God and man--Working together in sweet mingling and joint dependence, so that God could labor alone no more and that we ourselves serve no longer individually but corporately with Christ and His Body! What a principle of incarnation this is!
We praise and thank You, dear Lord for Your eternal plan, and for creating us to become Your expression so that we could possess Your very life. You are our inheritance and we become Your possession. How we desire You to be expressed through us and in us even more now!
