Poems From My Preaching

A New Life in Christ

Colossians 3:1-17

Risen with Christ, holiness my call
Seeking those things that are above all.

The world’s attractions are not what they seem
They so pale in light of heaven’s bright beam.

Dead to the world my life hid with Christ in God,
Setting my affections above on this journey I trod.

The old life once lived I put off by His grace,
A new life transformed by the glory of His face.

Now peace rules my heart, I’m so happy within,
Singing Psalms and hymns of victory o’er sin.

Whatever I do both in word or in deed,
I’ll glorify God as upon His Word I do feed.

Forever thankful for His peace that now reigns,
Sin forever forgiven, His favor I now gain.

Heaven’s Gain The Devil’s Loss

Colossians 2:10-15

Complete in Him,
Christ the Head of all.

Buried with Him in baptism,
Risen from the fall.

My sins forever blotted out,
Nailed to a cruel cross,

My Savior triumphed over all,
Heaven’s gain, the devil’s loss.

A Sinner’s Humble Prayer

Colossians 1:9-14

Filled with the knowledge of His will
This is my earnest plea.
Walking worthy of my Lord and King
Enjoying salvation so rich and free.

In every good work may I fruitful be,
Desiring His holiness to employ.
Strengthened by His power to live each day,
Living with patience and a spirit of joy.

Thanking the Father for His mercy and grace
Delivering from darkness to glorious light.
Redeeming this sinner by His precious blood,
Filling my future with a hope so bright.
