Colossians. 1-2

To know who Christ is.

That all power is his.

Is where our power derives.

From faith in our lives.

For he is over everyone

In the heavenly kingdom.

Supreme in all things.

And yet he now brings.

By his dying on the cross.

Payment for my loss.

So l can be near to him.

Who my only hope is in.

Not in what l do.

He alone does renew.

The spirit within me.

From sin sets me free.

That l might be a sign.

To all those friends of mine.

Of Christs power to transform.

When hope is forlorn.

No longer can they condemn.

The frailties of men.

John. 17:1-12

Hope for all except those.

Who deliberately oppose.

Be prepared to go to war.

But first see if can restore.

Remembering all the Lord.

Had done when in one accord.

As he he told us what to do.

From slavery and desert renew.

Our faith God did always bless.

When we felt in so much stress.

But now has come the day.

When l must leave the fray.

John. 16:19-33

When Jesus says he has got to go.

To a place you are yet to know.

It seems a mystery to all of us.

Why we can’t get on the bus.

And journey now with him.

No matter what strife get in.

Think we will be so brave.

Because the Lord gave.

Everything we need.

When following his lead.

Seems totally against me.

Just remember there’s none

The Lord cannot overcome.

The world is no longer free.

Seemed bound in captivity.

A slave to the power of sin.

Wicked is the world we live in.

But we would have to be nieve

Between what you know is yours.
