The Christ Centrality
He delivered us from darkness,
Transferred us unto His Kingdom;
And power over the starkness,
By clothing us in His wisdom.
The Kingdom of His beloved Son,
In whom we now have salvation;
Forgiveness the Father has done,
Redeems us through a confession.
Through the blood forgives our sins,
By Jesus the image of God;
For through His Spirit, He begins,
By cleansing us where we were flawed.
The firstborn of all creation,
By Him all things were created;
Formed by His enunciation,
Each creature officiated.
In the Heavens and on the earth,
Visible and invisible;
All the creatures were given birth,
Vegetation made edible.
He is being before all things,
In Him all things hold together;
And the consistency He brings,
In gratitude when they gather.
Jesus is the head of the church,
And the beginning and the end;
For the salvation that we search,
He has given to us as a friend.
He might have the preeminence,
And was the firstborn from the dead;
The right hand of God in essence,
A sacrificial lamb that bled.
And through Him to reconcile,
Made peace by the blood of His cross;
Promotes a righteous lifestyle,
Being our gain for His loss.
