United In God's Unity
United as one person in body, soul and spirit
Nurtured being of mine abides in the Lord
Imparting me His divine nature of tri-unity
Toward oneness with Him, though unfathomable
Exuding peace, exemplifying love, exposing faith
Devoid of vain selfishness… defying schism against His will---
United as body of Christ to fulfill His great commission
Nourished by His Word are we in His grace and truth
Instructed to advance His kingdom of compassion might
Thankful as called servants, reaching-out for others
Extending God’s goodness, pardon and redemption
Dwelling together*, bonded by the Sovereign unity-Author.
*Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
