Living In Christ
Dear friends, it’s in the Father’s house we find deep settled peace
Our anguished prayers, those bitter cries his touch alone will cease
Worship the Lamb. His blood atones — vanquished the shameful curse
To know the One who redeems our life is to hear his gentle voice
His promise is sure, He disappoints never. ‘I will be with you now and forever.’
Shaped by the skilful Potter’s hand new creatures to Christ akin
Purged on the altar, surrendered lives are fitted to serve the King
Though seeing Him not, we trust Him still, our Comforter within
We’re filled with inexpressible joy for this new song we sing
His promise is sure, He disappoints never. ‘I will be with you now and forever.’
Seated upon His Kingly throne His power sustains, and souls inspire
Stirring our minds, refining our hearts, His honour our sole desire
We reflect His light as shining stars in a broken, lost sinful world
Until that Day He vowed long ago, we embrace His living Word
His promise is sure, He disappoints never. ‘I will be with you now and forever.’
Our faith transparent to the sons of men that God might be glorified
The good fruit declares, it is to Christ the One True Vine we’re tied
Love one another as He has loved you. It is His wise command
Grow not weary of doing good till He calls you home as He has planned
His promise is sure, He disappoints never. ‘I will be with you now and forever.’
