Hymn 541
| | SUBJECT: EXPERIENCE OF CHRIST—VERSUS ALL THINGS |
| METER: 6.5.6.5.D. |
| AUTHOR: Witness Lee |
| COMPOSER: Miss Davis |
| 1 | Not the law of letters, |
| | But the Christ of life |
| | God desires to give us, |
| | Saving us from strife; |
| | It is not some doctrine, |
| | But ‘tis Christ Himself |
| | Who alone releases |
| | From our sinful self. |
| 2 | Any kind of teaching, |
| | Any kind of form, |
| | Cannot quicken spirits |
| | Or our souls transform; |
| | It is Christ as Spirit |
| | Gives us life divine, |
| | Thus thru us to live the |
| | Life of God’s design. |
| 3 | Not philosophy nor |
| | Any element |
| | Can to Christ conform us |
| | As His complement; |
| | But ‘tis Christ Himself who |
| | All our nature takes |
| | And in resurrection |
| | Us His members makes. |
| 4 | Not religion, even |
| | Christianity, |
| | Can fulfill God’s purpose |
| | Or economy; |
| | But ‘tis Christ within us |
| | As our all in all |
| | Satisfies God’s wishes, |
| | And His plan withal. |
| 5 | All the gifts we’re given |
| | By the Lord in grace, |
| | All the different functions |
| | Cannot Christ replace. |
| | Only Christ Himself must |
| | Be our all in all! |
| | Only Christ Himself in |
| | All things; great or small! |
