Life is mysterious, life is God Himself,

| 1. | Life is mysterious, life is God Himself, |
| | Whose whole intention focuses on man. |
| | God made him to take in the tree of life, |
| | To have a man of life for His own plan. |
| 2. | But man was tempted and seduced to sin, |
| | By taking knowledge from the other source. |
| | This man then fell as knowledge entered in |
| | And dominated him with all its force. |
| 3. | This knowledge has developed in the man |
| | Into the human culture on the earth. |
| | So man, created to fulfill God's plan, |
| | Became a failure full for Satan's dearth. |
| 4. | Then God came in the Person of the Son; |
| | Lived He on earth, Christ Jesus was his |
| | name- |
| | A living model so that everyone |
| | Could live by life, God's fullness to obtain. |
| 5. | This God-man, Christ, went to the cross and |
| | died, |
| | By death He ended knowledge, the old man. |
| | Things negative forever crucified, |
| | Death He subdued, a new life He began! |
| 6. | From death He resurrected and became |
| | The living Spirit to give life to us. |
| | When we believe and call upon His name; |
| | This living Spirit came to dwell in us. |
| 7. | By this the very Triune God is now |
| | The living Spirit mingling deep within. |
| | Our spirit joins in oneness; this is how |
| | We are one spirit evermore with Him. |
| 8. | 'Tis by this Spirit that we walk and act, |
| | We have our being, think, and see all things; |
| | We're now within the Spirit! What a fact! |
| | This Spirit to us all God's fullness brings! |
| 9. | So now we have to set our mind on Him; |
| | Each day, each hour, our mind on Him must |
| | be; |
| | That by this Spirit we'd be saved within |
| | By life and reign in life eternally. |
| 10. | 'Tis by this Spirit we shall be freed |
| | >From sin whose law inside us death would |
| | bring. |
| | Our mortal bodies will have life indeed; |
| | Thus sanctified we'll be in everything. |
| 11. | This Spirit shall transform our natural life, |
| | Save us from self, build us in one new man, |
| | Till we're conformed to be like Jesus Christ, |
| | Thus finishing our God's eternal plan. |
| 12. | Life is our God and life is Christ our Lord. |
| | Life is the Spirit. Life's the only way- |
| | Till we're transfigured and redeemed to |
| | God. |
| | We're waiting, looking forward to that day! |
