Colossians 1 v.25 - 2 v.5 part
**********
Lord, help us to grow perfect
In your image, though not yet
Have we attained, but we go
On more to your presence know
That perfection, completeness
Maturity, holiness
Growing spiritually we
Sons, daughters of God here be
Warning and admonishing
Wise teaching in everything
Praying fervently, not slack
Labouring that none may lack
Depending on your power
Gifts and graces in us flower
Spreading the gospel, good news
You ordain us, you us choose
Mystery revealed it be
Christ in us, hope of glory
Shared with all who hear His call
Many believe, they not fall
Firm in faith, in readiness
Orderliness, steadfastness
Riches to discover more
Progress in Him, you not poor
