Lord Jesus, Are We One With Thee? Lord Jesus, are we one with Thee? O height, O depth of love! Thou one with us on Calvary, We one with Thee above. Such was Thy Grace that for our sake Thou didst from Heaven come down, With us of flesh and blood partake, In all our misery one. Our sins, our guilt, in love Divine Confessed and borne by Thee; The gall, the curse, the wrath were Thine, To set Thy members free. Ascended now, in glory bright, Head of the Church Thou art; Nor life nor death, nor depth nor height, Thy Saints and Thee can part. Oh teach us, Lord, to know and own This wondrous mystery, That Thou in Heaven with us art one, And we are one with Thee. Soon, soon shall come that glorious day When, seated on Thy throne, Thou shalt to wondering worlds display That Thou with us art one. ~By James George Deck ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Lord Jesus prayed: John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. John 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. To the Saints, the Holy Spirit penned through the Apostle Paul: Ephesians 2:4-10 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by (grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 4:3-7 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Ephesians 4:13-16 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor.
