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.
