Colossians 1 v.9-14
********
A prayer and desire for you that God may fill
You with the knowledge of His will each day still
In all wisdom and spiritual resources
With understanding given from Him to us
That we might live worthy of the Lord unto
All pleasing, being fruitful, each one, e\'en you
In every good work, and increasing therein
In the knowledge of God in all you begin
Strengthened with all might, be it according to
His glorious power, he shall you renew
Unto all patience and all longsuffering
With joyfulness, through all life in everything
Giving thanks unto God the Father, for He
Has qualified us to partake in Him, see
Having inheritance in Him, share with saints
In the light, He saved us from vain worldly taints
He has saved us from the power of darkness
And has transferred us into the kingdom, yes
Of His dear Son, in whom we have redemption
Through His blood, forgiveness of sins for each one
