c.f. Colossians 2:9-15
All the powers lined up against us,
now led captive in his train;
all the writing that condemned us
now wiped off the slate again.
We were out of line and wandering;
outlawed, unforgiven and lost.
Jesus takes our map of trespass.
Now he’s nailed it to the cross.
All the time that we were wandering,
we were wandering far from God:
spirit-dead and alienated;
out of mind and off the road.
Made alive together with him,
resurrection power has won!
All that once held out against him
now lies buried with God’s Son.
Lately, we’re made new, a nation
that excludes whatever’s wrong.
all the praises, all the glories
to God’s glorious Son, belong:
all the fullness of the Godhead;
all the powers beneath his feet;
fully God and fully human.
Now we stand in him, complete.
