1.

Are you a member of Christ’s earthly body,
You in Him and He in you?
Your future will forevermore be glorious
If you see the battle through.

Chorus:

Hope and joy will bear you up in battle;
You risen are with Jesus Christ.
His pow’r is yours, and you with it shall triumph.
Stand with Him; you’ll win the prize.

2.

The Head is Christ, and we’re His body’s members;
Thus we have His mind and will.
In unity and harmony we function
And the Word of God fulfill.

3.

His body has no worldly shine or favor;
Earthen vessels hide its worth.
But one day it will radiate in glory,
Though despised now on the earth.

4.

A thousand years His members will be reigning,
Then upon the earth that’s new;
But now we’ve battles, trials, and temptations,
As we learn His will to do.
