God's intention is to have us

God's intention is to have us All conformed to His dear Son; Thus a work of transformation By the Spirit must be done.

Lord, transform us to Thine image In emotion, mind and will; Saturate us with Thy Spirit, All our being wholly fill.

God hath us regenerated In our spirit with His life; But He must transform us further; In our soul by His own life.

Spreading outward from our spirit Doth the Lord transform our soul, By the inward parts renewing, Till within His full control.

By the power of His Spirit In His pattern He transforms; From His glory to His glory To His image He conforms.

He transforms, all sanctifying, Till like Him we are matured; He transforms, our soul possessing, Till His stature is secured.
