Proclamation of Righteousness

Colossians 3:12-16

As saints of God dearly beloved and holy,
Bowels of mercy, kindness, meek and lowly;
Be forgiving also gentle with each other,
If one done wrong forgive your brother;
Just as the Lord had forgiveness for you,
Show compassion and love for them too;
For love is the only way for you to bind,
As the peace of Christ help you to be kind;
Letting our hearts to be ruled by the Son,
It was the purpose of God for to be as one;
The Word of Christ for a wealth of wisdom,
Paving your way to the Heavenly Kingdom.
Singing Psalms, hymns and songs to impart,
Shows your gratitude to God in your heart;
Praising Him for all that has been achieved,
Displays just how much you have believed;
Showing our thankfulness through praise,
Produces in us a radiant glow to ablaze;
Lit by a visit of the Holy Spirit enters in,
Proclaiming our righteousness free of sin.
