Poem Colossians inspired by the book of the same name in the King James Bible
In the book of Colossians, God's word we embrace,
A letter from Paul, filled with wisdom and grace.
To the church in Colossae, he sends his greetings,
His words of instruction, each one worth repeating.
With Christ as the head, the body and bride are we,
United in love, in Him, we are free.
He is the truth of God, the invisible seen,
through Him, all things were created, on Him, we lean.
He holds all things together, from beginning, to end,
Our Savior, Redeemer, that took away our sin.
Through His blood on the cross, we find our peace,
Our sins are forgiven, our guilt released.
We once were estranged, as if hidden in weeds,
But Christ reconciled us, saved us from our evil deeds.
Presenting us holy, without blemish or blame,
as we continue in faith, and cherish His name.
So let His word dwell in you, richly, with thanks,
Sing spiritual songs, join the heavenly ranks.
Whatever you do, in word or in deed,
Do all good things to His will, pay heed.
Stand firm in His love, let your hearts be encouraged,
In all wisdom and understanding, be nourished.
For it's in Christ, all God's treasures are given,
His love, His grace, to us, never hidden.
Oh Colossians, heed this message, let it ring true,
For it's for all, the world not only for you.
This mystery is Christ in us, the hope of glory,
We proclaim Him to all, that's our story.
