all in all

do you see the church as the fullness of an infinite God?


you are my strength when i am weak, you are the treasure that i seek,
you are my all in all.
seeking you as a precious jewel, Lord to give up I'd be a fool,
you are my all in all.

Jesus, lamb of God worthy is your name.
Jesus, lamb of God worthy is your name.

taking my sin, my cross, my shame. rising again, i praise your name,
you are my all in all.
when i fall down you pick me up. when I am dry you fill my cup,
you are my all in all.

Jesus, lamb of God worthy is your name.
Jesus, lamb of God worthy is your name.


ever sing this song?
it's a good one :)
we should sing old school songs like this more often

but anyways...

i always found the phrase "all in all" to be sort of funny.
what do you think?

well
i came upon it the other day
in Ephesians 1:23
and found that NIV had a great translation...
"everything in every way"

so that's what it means...
"you are my all in all"
"God is my everything
in every way."

that sounds about right...


well, in this verse it was talking about something a bit different though.

it says that the church, the body, is "the fullness of Him of fills all in all."

so there's a God who fills EVERYTHING in EVERY way,
and the church
is
this FULLNESS.

that's crazy. :)

do you see the church as the fullness of an infinite God?
refresh yourself now...
when i say church i'm talking about the people
not the institution.

think about it
like right now, for just a minute...


if you don't think it is,
you probably looked at the ways the church fails to represent God.

now, let's not jump the gun.
let's not even think about who, why, or what the problem is...

let's just ask ourselves...
in what ways am i not letting God fill all of
me.
