Do you know what you were saved for

Do you know what you were saved for?
Do you ever wonder why?
What is God’s intent and purpose?
Why has Christ become your life?

Eden’s river has a purpose,
Bringing life where’er it goes;
God’s salvation, like a river,
Goes through stages as it flows.

Not just individual Christians,
Isolated, wand’ring free,
But as stones built up together,
Christ expressing corporately.

Not the stones, though very precious,
Elevated “spiritually,”
But the stones built up together
In the Spirit, practically.
