Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
If then you were raised together with Christ Seek the things that are above where Christ is Seated on the right hand of God set your mind On the things that are above not on the things that are on the earth
For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God When Christ our life is revealed then you will also be revealed With him in glory put to death therefore your members Which are on the earth sexual immorality uncleanness
Depraved passion evil desire and covetousness which is idolatry For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes On the children of disobedience you also once walked in those When you lived in them but now you must put them all away
Anger wrath malice slander and shameful speaking Out of your mouth don’t lie to one another Seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings And have put on the new man who is being renewed In knowledge after the image of his Creator
Where there can’t be Greek and Jew circumcision and uncircumcision Barbarian Scythian bondservant or free person But Christ is all and in all put on therefore As God’s chosen ones holy and beloved A heart of compassion kindness lowliness
Humility and perseverance bearing with one another And forgiving each other if any man has a complaint Even as Christ forgave you so you also do Above all these things walk in love Which is the bond of perfection
