1  In spirit, in the church we see
    The high estate we're destined for.
    It's higher, vaster, more profound
    Than anything we've seen before.
 
 
 2  It's not a view in doctrine bare
    But an unveiling of the Christ.
    He's marvelous and far beyond
    Our mental thought or power to share.
 
 
 3  He's rich, unlimited, profound,
    Immeasurable, and marvelous.
    Yet 'tis a greater wonder still
    He needs heirs of salvation — us.
 
 
 4  God has accomplished many things —
    He's planned, created, and brought forth.
    The Son is now appointed Heir,
    Administrator of God's worth.
 
 
 5  But in th' economy of God
    There is not one, but many sons.
    One is the firstborn Son of God
    With many other living ones.
 
 
 6  Christ will inherit all God's things,
    And we're the heirs of God with Christ.
    We're growing now to be matured;
    As heirs we'll soon be legalized.
 
 
 7  We're joint-heirs with the firstborn Son,
    Inheriting the universe.
    We're in this corporation vast —
    All partners of Christ and the church.
 
 
 8  In spirit, in the church, we see
    Our calling of unrivaled worth.
    We're destined, not to go to heaven.
    We're destined to be kings on earth.
 
 
 9  We're paupers, yet we're glorious kings.
    Inheriting the kingdom vast,
    The earth, God's throne, and e'en all things
    And all the Father is and has.
