🌲 Chapter Anchor
If you are raised with Christ, live like it.
📖 What Happens in This Chapter
Union with Christ shapes daily life. Because He died and rose, we die to sin and rise to holiness.
Christ is not just Savior — He is daily ruler of conduct.
🌾 Why This Matters Today
You cannot claim a heavenly identity and live with earthly priorities.
Colossians 3 — Set Your Mind Above
📖 Song Lyrics
If you’ve been raised with Christ above,
Then seek the things of heaven’s love.
Where Christ is seated, reigning still,
At God’s right hand in sovereign will.
Set your mind on higher things,
Not dust that fades nor passing kings.
For you have died — your life is hid
With Christ in God, forever sealed.
Pre-Chorus
When He appears in glory bright,
You too will shine in risen light.
Chorus
Put to death what drags you down,
Lay aside the former crown.
Anger, envy, lust, and pride —
Leave the grave where they reside.
Clothe yourself in mercy’s grace,
Kindness shining from your face.
Above it all let love remain —
Perfect bond in heaven’s name.
Once you walked in shadowed ways,
Ruled by flesh and fleeting praise.
But now the old has been undone,
A new creation has begun.
No Greek nor Jew, no rank nor wall,
Christ is all, in all, through all.
The dividing lines once drawn
Fade beneath the Risen One.
Verse
Let the peace of Christ now rule,
In one body knit and whole.
Let thanksgiving fill your days,
Gratitude become your praise.
Let the word of Christ dwell deep,
Teach and sing where truths take root.
Psalms and hymns from thankful hearts,
Worship flowing as life imparts.
Whatever you do, in word or deed,
Do it in His holy name indeed.
Giving thanks through Him alone
To God the Father on His throne.
Bridge — Households
Wives and husbands, shaped by grace,
Children learning trust and place.
Fathers guiding without despair,
Homes reflecting heaven’s care.
Servants working as for Christ,
Not by eye but sacrifice.
Masters remembering, just and fair —
Heaven’s Master sees and cares.
Final Chorus
Set your mind where Christ now reigns,
Live as those He has reclaimed.
Hidden life yet shining bright,
Walking daily in His light.
For when the King appears once more,
You will stand in glory’s roar.
