Let No Man (Colossians)
VERSE 1: It's been pressed upon my heart to write
To all of my fellow brethren in Christ
Epaphras brought me a concern my hope is shedding some light
Now it’s tight to see your faith but I have a ought with you Colossians
The problem is your faith is being wavered by these Gnostics
Allowing them to teach you matters evil at best
And since our bodies are matter God couldn't be in the flesh
They're denying the fact that Christ was fully God and fully Man
I fully stand saying who teaches this should be fully damned
I also understand you’re falling in legalism
Believing to be forgiven you're in need of circumcision
But I want you to grow in wisdom and truth
Having knowledge of His will bearing spiritual fruit
But still in all I thank God for the light He's given y'all
I haven't ceased praying for you daily while in these prison walls
But these are some of the reasons I chose to write this text
So take heed as you read and believe through Christ alone you're blessed /

HOOK: Christ the Son of Man
The Lamb but still God
Let no man persuade you different than this
King of kings
Lord of lords He is
Let no man persuade you different than this
So stand firm in the faith (X3)
Let no man persuade you different than this (X2)
He's the full essence of God-Man in bodily form /
VERSE 2: Concerning this issue of Christ
He is the exact image of the invisible
God who is Spirit through Christ has become visible
Son of God firstborn of us all and it's not literal
He’s chronologically first the best way to keep this biblical
So what I’m saying is He was here before all beings
And Christ was not created but He has created all things
Provided all means needed to save men was stainless
Alone through Him we're holy and blameless
He’s the Head of the Church we're just the Body that's formed
He's the full essence of God-Man in bodily form
I want you to see that Christ even rules in His seniority
Angels give Him the glory
Creation sees His authority
He has prevailed over the law of the lost
And yes He has paid your ransom
It’s nailed to the cross
I want you to know I write this so no man can persuade you
But you'll stand firm in the Son who was crushed to save you /

VERSE 3: So if you were truly buried in Baptism with Him and was raised up
Just as He has risen His will is to change us
Our aim thus is changed up to seek the things
That are above
Our life's love's to please the King
So we're committed to putting to death our members and every evil desire that's springing up from within us
Our whole plan as believers you know the goal fam
Is daily look more like Christ and put off the old man
Put on the new man He seeks to use
And stand firm there's no distinction between Greek and Jew
Your peace is through what was done
The lies should stop
Salvation is through the Son
Circumcised or not
Let His word dwell in you richly to show that you've known Christ
Just as sure as you've grown right fruit will show in your home life
I pray this encourages you when this is received from Tychicus
Written by Paul's hand
Remember my imprisonment
