It is God’s intent and pleasure

It is God’s intent and pleasure
  To have Christ revealed in me,
Nothing outward as religion,
  But His Christ within to be.

It is God’s intent and pleasure
  That His Christ may live in me;
Nothing as an outward practice,
  But Christ working inwardly.

It is God’s intent and pleasure
  That His Christ be formed in me;
Not the outward forms to follow,
  But Christ growing inwardly.

It is God’s intent and pleasure
  That His Christ make home in me;
Not just outwardly to serve Him,
  But Christ dwelling inwardly.

It is God’s intent and pleasure
  That His Christ my hope may be;
It is not objective glory,
  But ’tis Christ subjectively.

It is God’s intent and pleasure
  That His Christ be all in me;
Nothing outwardly possessing,
  But His Christ eternally.
