Tune: Rosefield
('Bread of heaven, on thee we feed')
Colossians 1 v.26 - 2 v.10 parts
*********
Hidden truth, the mystery
Hid from ages, but now see
'Tis revealed, to us is shown
In our days it is made known
To believers manifest
In the gospel they are blest
God reveals this mystery
'Tis Christ in us, now we see
By His Spirit residing
Hope of glory, He dwelling
In all who have sure believed
Have as Saviour Him received
In Christ are hid all treasures
Of wisdom, He us assures
And [all treasures of] knowledge, we Him can know
The Spirit Christ does us show
No need of extras man-made
Faith in Christ enough, firm, staid
In Christ dwells all the fullness
Of the Godhead, seen no less
In His person, and we be
Complete in Him, entirely
He the head o'er everything
Lord of all, to Him we sing

Who you kidding Orchidee. Why do you keep publishing all this christian stuff. Is your faith so weak that you need to keep writing more of it? Who are you trying to reassure..... there is no flock reading you here. Very unconvincing.
No, I'm not writing keep my head (or my faith) above water, as it were. Maybe do as some do - comment on the style of the poem, etc, without going into the Christian/religious detail. Well, some are reading it!
Beautiful writing and rhymes, Orchi!
Thanks Christina.
I really believe in the title and that Christ dwells in all fullness. Thanks for sharing this Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
