COLOSSIANS – Blotting out the Handwriting by Bro H

Verse 1 Beware lest any man should spoil you Through philosophy and deceit After the traditions of men Not after Christ, but empty speech For in Him dwells all the fullness Of the Godhead bodily And you are complete within Him Head of all authority Verse 2 Buried with Him in baptism Risen through the faith of God Quickened when dead in trespasses Raised up by His mighty power Having forgiven all trespasses Blotting out the written debt That which stood there against us Taken out — no record left CHORUS Blotted out the handwriting That was written against us Nailed it to the cross Removed what stood to condemn us Not the law, but the record Of the charges we had Principalities stripped and shown openly Triumphing over them in it Verse 3 Let no man then judge among you In meat or drink or holy day New month, sabbath — shadows yet to come What in Christ is now displayed Let no man beguile your reward In false humility Not holding fast unto the Head But lost in puffed up vanity Verse 4 Why, as though living in the world still Are you subject to men’s decrees? “Touch not, taste not, handle not,” they say Commandments that cannot free These things have a show of wisdom In will-worship and false restraint But they do not cleanse the inner man Nor put the flesh to shame BRIDGE Rooted and built up in Him Established in the faith you were taught Abounding therein with thanksgiving Not carried away as some have been caught FINAL CHORUS Blotted out the handwriting That was written against us Nailed it to the cross Removed what stood to condemn us Principalities broken Authority laid bare Complete in Him who is the Head Above all power everywhere
