Colossians 1:9-19: The Greatness of Our Lord
We heard of your love for all the saints and your faith and hope.
The measure of your maturity is
one of considerable note.
I pray each day you will be filled
with knowledge from God’s heart;
Fueled with wisdom and
understanding, seeking to do your part.
It is our goal to please our Lord
in all that we say and do,
Fruitful in our gifts and calling
today and all the way through;
Increasing in the ways of God,
strengthened in His might,
Joyful in our giving of thanks to
live in his wonderful light.
We seek to be patient when we
suffer remembering the pain
Experienced by our Savior in
winning this life we’ve gained.
Through the cross with its agony
our Lord and Savior endured,
Our sin condition and all its
effects have been efficaciously cured.
Delivered from the power of
darkness into a new domain;
No longer captive to our sin, a new
freedom we have gained.
Transferred out of sin’s control
to the realm of God’s Son so loved
We have experienced Christ’s
redemption; seated with Him above.
Christ is the image of our God;
first in priority and power,
He is Creator of all that exists,
upheld by Him every hour.
Whether angels or evil demons, no
matter their honor or shame,
Jesus, our Lord, is their Creator
and knows them all by name.
He is the firstborn, of highest
import, the ruler of all creation,
Who laid down His life to qualify
us to rise to a higher station.
This is our God, the head of the
church, the firstborn from the dead,
The founder of the Church of God
and serves as it glorious head.
Our Lord Jesus supersedes all the
philosophies of man.
He is the key to be freed from the
power of sin’s strong hand.
The Bible tells us what to do if
we would call heaven our home:
Abandoning all self-righteousness, we place faith In Christ alone.
