The Abiding Word

Colossians 2:4-10

I say this so you may not be turned away,
By any deceitful words that you may hear;
Although I am not there in the flesh today,
You read from my heart that is so sincere.

Such a joy in an unchanging faith of Christ,
And as you took Him for to be your Lord;
Rooted in His blood from being sacrificed,
In strong faith of the teaching in His Word.

Of giving your praises to God at all times,
He looks down on you with favor to bless;
But cautious of enticing unrighteous crimes,
Filled of deceit that is trying to impress.

For they follow the worldly beliefs of men,
That is totally immorally against the law;
As they attack your lusts at a time when,
Your faith is weak and vulnerable to a flaw.

In Christ all the wealth has a living form,
Dwelling in the fullness of the Godhead;
You being complete in Him to transform,
Earning a place in the Heavenly homestead.
