WASHING:
[John 15:3; 1 Cor. 6:11]
Ephesians 5:26 - "That He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of the water in the word,"
"According to the divine concept, water here refers to the flowing life of God, which is typified by flowing water (Exo. 17:6; 1 Cor. 10:4; John 7:38-39; Rev. 21:6; 22:1, 17). The washing of the water here is different from the washing of the redeeming blood of Christ. The redeeming blood washes away our sins (1 John 1:7; Rev. 7:14), whereas the water of life washes away the blemishes of the natural life of our old man, such as the “spot or wrinkle or any such things” mentioned in v. 27. In separating and sanctifying the church, the Lord first washes away our sins with His blood (Heb. 13:12) and then washes away our natural blemishes with His life. We are now in such a washing process, that the church may be holy and without blemish (v. 27)." - footnotes 3, Eph. 5:26
FELLOWSHIP:
John 13:5 - Then He poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
"... there is the need for the washing with the Holy Spirit, the word, and life. This is the washing away of their dirtiness that their fellowship with the Lord and with one another may be maintained; it is not the washing away of their sins by the blood (1 John 1:9). - footnotes 2, John 13:5

L5 Thou art the Son of Man like us,
And truly share our nature,
That we may be the sons of God
And grow to Thy full stature.
In the fullness of the time came God sent forth His Son (like us, but without sin) that He might redeem us and that we might receive the sonship. Christ’s redemption brings us into the sonship of God that we may enjoy the divine life. He predestinated us unto sonship and regenerated us to be His sons. Hallelujah, we are sons and heirs also through God. (Galatians 4:4-6)

-Thou art the resurrection too,
John 11:25a - Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life.
Praise the Lord! He is the resurrection and the life!
-All death Thy life doth swallow;
1Co 15:54b - “Death has been swallowed up unto victory. ”
The victory over Satan, God’s enemy, over the world, over sin, and over death!
-'Tis by Thy resurrection pow'r,
Phi 3:10 - To know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
The power of Christ’s resurrection is His resurrection life! The reality of the power of Christ’s resurrection is the Spirit!
-We bear the cross and follow.
Mat 16:24 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
Before the Lord’s crucifixion, the disciples followed Him in an outward way. But now, after His resurrection, we follow Him in an inward way. Because in resurrection He has become the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45) dwelling in our spirit (2 Tim. 4:22), we follow Him in our spirit!

9 Thou art the very light of life
That shineth in the darkness;
The light divine that shines with God
Within our hearts in fulness.
John 1:4 - In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 12:46 - I have come as a light into the world, that everyone who believes into Me would not remain in darkness
We just need to take Christ as our light and continue on believing in Him so that we would not remain in darkness.

Saints,
I felt it will help if we use the tune of Hymn 1276.
Amen.
United States
(For the saints in Africa) Perhaps you could find another tune which would fit and break it up; singing one verse and then another. The words are rich and full and beautiful. Praise to our All-Mighty God! Halleleujah! We love You Lord Jesus!!!
Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa
Isn't it a little bit confusing for young people to sing? We wanted to enjoy the song, but the music is just ONE verse long and the words very difficult to understand for youngsters. The words are rich and full. Please arrange it so that the young ones can go on and on singing for the 26 verses?
