✝️ Christ Focus

Colossians 1 is one of the highest Christology passages in Scripture.

Jesus is:
• Eternal
• Creator
• Sustainer
• Head of the church
• Fully divine
• Reconciler through the cross

He is not one spiritual option among many.
He is Lord over all.

🌾 Why This Matters Today

If Christ created all things and holds all things together,
He is not an accessory to your life.
He is its foundation.

Colossians 1 — Before All Things

📖 Song Lyrics

Paul, by the will of God, writes grace,

To saints who stand in Christ’s embrace.

We thank the Father when we pray —

Your faith and love light up the way.

A hope is stored in heaven’s height,

First heard in truth’s revealing light.

The gospel bearing fruit worldwide,

Since first it in your heart abides.

Pre-Chorus

We ask that wisdom fill your mind,

In Spirit-led understanding kind —

To walk in ways that please the Lord,

Bearing fruit in every word.

Chorus

He is the image of God unseen,

The firstborn over all that’s been.

By Him were all things made to stand —

In heaven and earth at His command.

Thrones and rulers, powers and kings —

All were formed through Him and for Him.

He is before all things begun,

And holds creation as One.

In Him all fullness chose to dwell,

No lesser light, no parallel.

Head of the body, first to rise,

From death to life before our eyes.

Through His blood upon the tree,

He made His enemies at peace.

Once estranged in darkened mind,

Now holy, blameless, reconciled.

Verse

Continue firm and grounded sure,

In hope that will forever endure.

The gospel preached to every land,

Now placed within your faithful hands.

I suffer for His body’s sake,

For mystery once hidden’s wake —

Christ in you, the hope of glory,

The centerpiece of Heaven’s story.

We warn, we teach, with wisdom’s aim,

To present each soul complete in Him.

For this I labor, strength supplied

By power working deep inside.

Final Chorus

He is the first and He will reign,

Above all loss, above all gain.

No other name holds such decree —

The Lord of all eternity.

From cross to crown, from grave to throne —

All glory rests in Christ alone.
