The One Who Is Our Purity

Michael E. Wood
December 13, 2010

God, in His infinite wisdom has chosen, as John Bunyan put it, "To withhold light from some better than we" concerning secondary issues which are not essential to the clarity and unity of the gospel. And thus, when the aim of our charge as individual believers as well as an assembled local body is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith, then by the abundance of His mercy and grace we are enabled as one to worship Him in Spirit and in truth unto the praise of His glorious grace.

What sweet communion God affords
As all of Him in one accord
Seek to know in unity
The One Who Is our purity.

As every man that has this hope
Will seek to know the fullest scope
In all of life by His embrace
To be like Him as one new race.

For Christ has broken all the wall
Now ill effected by the fall.
By grace all glory shall be found..
Oh haste the day that He be crowned
!
