Christ Centrality

He is the image of God,
The firstborn of creation;
To whom we honor and laud,
And the route to salvation.

He created everything,
In Heaven and on the earth;
Seen and unseen that does bring,
Resources of priceless worth.

Before all things that exist,
In Him all holds together;
Seen and unseen that consist,
The body holds to gather.

Of the body He’s the head,
And reigning over the church;
The firstborn came from the dead,
And where the righteous will search.

He shall have preeminence,
Superior over all;
Pleasing the Father in sense,
No longer will mankind fall.

For all the fullness of God,
In Him had been pleased to dwell;
Confessions to cleanse where flawed,
The people won’t go to hell.

Appeased by Christ for all,
Whether on earth or Heaven;
Making peace as to befall,
For salvation that’s given.

You were once alienated,
Hostile doing evil deeds;
Penance eliminated,
As to what the darkness needs.

He reconciled through death,
To present you as holy;
Enabled to give new breath,
Above reproach as lowly.
