Hymns by Witness Lee and Watchman Nee

 

Hymn 541  

SUBJECT: EXPERIENCE OF CHRIST—VERSUS ALL THINGS
METER: 6.5.6.5.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Miss Davis

1Not 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.
2Any 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.
3Not 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.
4Not 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.
5All 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!
