A Body of One

Philippians 1:25-27

I know with joy in faith that I shall abide,
For the flame of the Holy Spirit lit inside;
Our glorifying may abound in Jesus Christ,
Within the reasons that He was sacrificed;
Let your manner be worthy of the Gospel,
Whether I come or not and if being able;
Be firm in one spirit in faith of one soul,
In the body of Christ we are one in whole.
In the military we have an Army of one,
With being Christians one body in the Son;
We are one in mind as well as in spirit,
Because we move together as one unit;
No longer is it as an individual thought,
Everything in unison as should be ought;
Feeling the flame of the burning desire,
For the Holy Spirit has lit just one fire;
A flame of joyous faith that is lit within,
Because of Jesus Christ it replaces sin;
One with the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
For becoming part of the Heavenly Host.
