"By looking constantly to Jesus with the eye of faith, we shall be strengthened."
"God will make the most precious revelations to His hungering, thirsting people."
"They will find that Christ is a personal Saviour."
"As they feed upon His word, they find that it is spirit and life."
"The word destroys the natural, earthly nature, and imparts a new life in Christ Jesus. "
"The Holy Spirit comes to the soul as a Comforter."
"By the transforming agency of His grace, the image of God is reproduced in the disciple."
"He becomes a new creature."
"Love takes the place of hatred, and the heart receives the divine similitude."
"This is what it means to live 'by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
Please Lord " Transform "US" anew with that Power from On High so "WE" may Glorify "YOU"

1
Not I, but Christ be honored, loved, exalted,
Not I, but Christ be seen, be known and heard;
Not I, but Christ in every look and action,
Not I, but Christ in every thought and word.
Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord,
Oh, to be lost in Thee,
Oh, that it may be no more I,
But Christ that lives in me.
2
Not I, but Christ to gently soothe in sorrow,
Not I, but Christ to wipe the falling tear;
Not I, but Christ to lift the weary burden,
Not I, but Christ to hush away all fear.
3
Christ, only Christ, no idle word e’er falling,
Christ, only Christ, no needless bustling sound;
Christ, only Christ, no self-important bearing,
Christ, only Christ, no trace of I be found.
4
Not I, but Christ my every need supplying,
Not I, but Christ my strength and health to be;
Christ, only Christ, for spirit, soul, and body,
Christ, only Christ, live then Thy life in me.
5
Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision,
Glory excelling soon, full soon I’ll see;
Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling,
Christ, only Christ, my all in all to be.
