Christ's Work and Expression Determine His Substance

A Hymn of God’s Words
Christ’s Work and Expression
Determine His Substance
I
Christ’s substance is determined
by His work and expressions.
With a heart that is true,
He completes what’s entrusted,
worships God in heaven
and seeks His Father’s will.
This is all determined
by His substance,
and so too are His natural revelations.
So called because His expressions
aren’t imitations,
or from years of man’s
cultivation or education.
They are not learned or self-adorned,
but inherent. Ah …
They are not learned or self-adorned,
but inherent. Ah …
II
Man may deny His work,
His expressions and humanity,
they may even deny
His life of normal humanity,
but not His true heart
when worshiping God in heaven.
No one can deny that
He’s here to fulfill the will
of the heavenly Father.
And no one can deny the sincerity
with which He seeks God the Father.
His image may not
be pleasing to the senses,
His discourse may not possess
an air of sensation,
His work may not be
as earth-or heaven-shattering,
as what is believed in
man’s imagination.
But He’s indeed Christ,
who fulfills His Father’s will,
with a true heart,
and total submission
and deathly obedience. Ah …
It’s because His substance
is that of the Christ.
A truth that’s hard to believe
but is indeed in existence.
A truth that’s hard, hard to believe
but is indeed in existence.
A truth that’s hard, it’s hard to believe
but is indeed in existence. Ah …
