Christ the Son of God
and His redemptive deed
Are the saving faith
which is our only creed.
All the other doctrines
do not faith comprise;
Christ, His work and person,
only qualifies.
All the other teachings
used improperly
Are the “winds of doctrine,”
spoiling unity:
Blowing saints away from Christ
who is the Head,
Building not the Body,
tearing down instead.
Thus we must relinquish
doctrines of all kinds,
Only keep the faith
that oneness we may find.
In the Lord the Spirit
we are one indeed;
Just to keep this oneness
is our only need.
Truth we must be holding,
which is Christ Himself,
That we be delivered from
the sects of self,
That in all things growing
into Christ the Head,
Built will be the Body
and to fulness led.
To the “unity of faith”
we must attain,
All the “winds of doctrine”
evermore disdain;
Holding Christ the Spirit,
our reality,
For the Body’s growing
in its unity.
