The overflow of life is work

The only way to let Christ grow in us is: prayer, the Sspirit, and the word.
(Note: the Sspirit is the mingling of the God's Spirit with our spirit.)

The only way to overflow Christ to others is: prayer, the Sspirit, and the word.

This should be our daily living and our testimony. May the Lord gain all of us to be His living witnesses, witnessing Him in our locality -> our state --> USA --> unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8). Enjoy this hymn and let Him grow and multiply. Amen!

1 The overflow of life is work,
The work should be our living!
What we experience e'er should be
The message we are giving.
When living and the work are one,
The work will be effectual;
When message and the life are one,
The word will be successful.

2 The work must be the fruit of life,
Born thru the Spirit's flowing;
As branches of the Lord, the vine,
Fruit bearing, life bestowing.
'Tis Christ Himself thru us to work,
Himself as life expressing,
And all the riches of His life
To others manifesting.

3 'Tis not a movement borne of man,
But by His power moving;
'Tis not the deeds done outwardly,
But inward action proving.
'Tis not the work of enterprise,
But 'tis His life confessing;
'Tis not to toil for our success,
But 'tis Himself expressing.

4 Our plans, our aims, our energy
We must abandon wholly,
That He may work His plan thru us,
His aim and object solely.
Ourselves, with all we are and have,
To death we must surrender,
That Christ may live Himself thru us
With riches and with splendor.
