We Have Not Followed Cleverly Designed Fables
To speculate about just how it's going to be, (Tim. 4:4)

But that which He has done among us in this day,
Tells us He'll fulfill His word in His own way.

We have not followed cleverly designed, (2 Pet. 1:16)

But that which we've seen and handled with our hands, (1 John 1:1)
We speak of our experiences in the Kingdom land.

To speculate about a future prophecy, (2 Pet. 1:20)
Will never bring the saints to perfect unity,
He's given us command of what to do today,
He supplies the pow'r--we yield and obey.

We must do away with forms from man's own mind.

Growing up requires the pattern be complete. (Heb. 8:5)
As newborn babes receive the milk and then the meat. (Heb. 5:12)
Each part that God ordained. He made to give us life,
To give us faith and love--to take away all strife.

Of doctrine and of order, and laying on their hands, (Titus 1:5)
To impart some spiritual gifts, fulfilling Christ's commands. (1 Tim. 4:14)

The pattern now restored--not form, but God's own way.
Prophets and apostles, the five-fold ministry.
The elders and the deacons as God's authority. (1 Tim. 5:17)
We yield to His Spirit. This is what sets us free. (Titus 1:5, 1 Tim. 3:8)
