Until Christ Is Formed In You – (A poem by my husband)
Until Christ is Formed in You
There is a Christmas morn
Celebrated each an’ every day
When Christ the Saviour is born
Not in feeding trough or hay
But in hearts who choose, believing
Having seen the Son of God
Through faith in hearing, receiving
The Life from up above
That Life grows daily increasing
In hearts of those now changed
Ever fuller, deeper, wider
None will ever be the same
A will of our own no longer
Our life surrendered from view
A decreasing of one for the other
Until Christ is formed in you
One heart, one mind, one purpose
Given to His will from above
To surrender all for our Master
His Life expressed through Love
As one this Christ is revealed
Not a single part left out
We need each one to see the Son
Full measure, full stature, fully stout
He’s revealed to all His timeless plan
To unveil His ageless story
His Victory over death ‘n’ Devil
Christ in us the Hope of Glory
All Praise the King of Life
He’s done with shame and loss
He’s restored to Him the Fullness
Who entrusted to Him the lot
His Love is never failing
Eternally none shall ever fall
From grace complete and saving
His Life supplied as All in All.
