It's been pressed upon my heart to write |
|
To all of my fellow brethren in Christ |
|
Epaphras brought me a concern, my hope is shedding some light |
|
Now it's tight to see your faith but I have an alt with you Colossians |
|
The problem is your faith is being wavered by these Gnostics |
|
Allowing them to teach you matters evil at best |
|
And since our bodies are matter God couldn't be in the flesh |
|
They're denying the fact that Christ was fully God and fully man |
|
I fully stand saying who teaches this should be fully damned |
|
I also understand you're fallen in legalism |
|
Believing to be forgiven you're in need of circumcision |
|
But I want you to grow in wisdom and truth |
|
Having knowledge of His will, bearing spiritual fruit |
|
But still in all I thank God for the light He's given y'all |
|
I haven't ceased praying for you daily while in these prison walls |
|
But these are some of the reasons I chose to write this text |
|
So take heed as you read and believe through Christ alone you're blessed |
|
Christ the Son of Man, the Lamb but still God |
|
Let no man persuade you different than this |
|
King of Kings, Lord of Lord He is |
|
Let no man persuade you different than this |
|
So stand firm in the faith |
|
So stand firm in the faith |
|
So stand firm |
|
Let no man persuade you different than this |
|
Let no man persuade you different than this |
|
He's the full essence of God, man, in bodily form |
|
Concerning this issue of Christ, He is the exact image of the invisible |
|
God who is Spirit through Christ has become visible |
|
Son of God, firstborn of us all and it's not literal |
|
He's chronologically first, the best way to keep this biblical |
|
So what I'm saying is He was here before all beings |
|
And Christ was not created but He has created all things |
|
Provided all means needed to save men, was stainless |
|
Alone through Him we're holy and blameless |
|
He's the Head of the church, we're just the body that's formed |
|
He's the full essence of God, man, in bodily form |
|
I want you to see that Christ even rules in His seniority |
|
Angels give Him the glory, creation sees His authority |
|
He has prevailed over the law of the lost |
|
And yes, He has paid your ransom, it's nailed to the cross |
|
I want you to know I write this so no man can persuade you |
|
But you'll stand firm in the Son who was crushed to save you |
|
So if you were truly buried in baptism with Him and was raised up |
|
Just as He has risen His will is to change us |
|
Our aim thus is changed up to seek the things |
|
That are above, our lives' love's to please the King |
|
So we're committed to putting to death our members |
|
And every evil desire that's springing up from within us |
|
Our whole plan as believers, you know the goal, fam (family) |
|
Is daily look more like Christ and put off the old man |
|
Put on the new man He seeks to use |
|
And stand firm there is no distinction between Greek and Jew |
|
The peace is through what was done, the lies should stop |
|
Salvation is through the Son, circumcised or not |
|
Let His word dwell in you richly to show that you've known Christ |
|
Just as sho (sure) as you've grown right, fruit will show in your home life |
|
I pray this encourages you when this is received by Tychicus |
