Firstborn Over Creation (Ep 40)

What this episode covers

Jesus is greater than any of us usually think of him. In Colossians 1:15-20, we find an awe-inspiring description of the King of kings. Reading this passage a few years ago, I found myself worshiping Jesus with a new song. It came together fairly quickly and incorporated ideas from Colossians and a few other passages. I hope it encourages your faith and invites worship of Jesus. Firstborn Over Creation Verse 1: Firstborn over creation, the Son of the invisible God. He is from the beginning. Through him all things were made. Things above and below, things both seen and unknown. Powers and rulers and authorities, all were created by him. Chorus 1: Jesus, Jesus, maker of all things. Jesus, Jesus, maker of all things. Verse 2: He is the head of the body, the church for which he died. Through his willing sacrifice, All who believe are made right. He made peace through his blood, shed for us on the tree. By his power remade, we’re all new creations in him. Chorus 2: Jesus, Jesus, ruler of the church. Jesus, Jesus, ruler of the church. Bridge 1: The Son of God has set us free from bondage and slavery to sin He gave his life as a ransom for us we’ll not be bound up again. Verse 3: Jesus, the King, resurrected, the firstborn from the grave. Through him death’s rule has been ended, our enemy’s been put to flight. He is the Lord over heaven, he is the Lord over hell. He has supremacy over all things, in him all God’s fullness does dwell. Chorus 3: Jesus, Jesus, conqueror of the grave. Jesus, Jesus, conqueror of the grave. Bridge 2: The Son of God has raised us to life, we’ll live eternally. Our enemy, death, has lost its grip on our hearts, it’s lost its sting. Ending: Jesus, Jesus, maker of all things. Jesus, Jesus, maker of all things, Ruler of the church, Conqueror of the grave. 2013 Mike Neifert
