(Verse 1)
Ancient shadows stretch across the Phrygian sun
The whispers of the Gnostics have begun
A labyrinth of angels, a hollow philosophy
Entrap the mind in vanity and decree.
Ascetic thorns and visions of the night
They fade before the uncreated light.
(Verse 2)
The handwriting of requirements, nailed to the wood
He triumphed over darkness as only He could
The shadow of the Sabbath, the festival’s ghost
Submit to the Head, not the heavenly host.
We are buried in the water, rising from the tomb
Stripping off the old man in the velvet gloom.
(Pre-chorus)
And whatever you do or say,
do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ
(Chorus)
For by Him all things were created
That are in heaven and that are on earth
Whether thrones or dominions
Or principalities or powers
All things were created through Him
(Verse 3)
Beneath the weight of starlight, the chosen ones arise
With hearts of cold compassion and mercy in their eyes
Put to death the members of the earth-bound, jagged soul
Let the peace of Christ within you take its dark and deep control.
No Greek or Jew remains here, no slave or master’s chain
For the Word is dwelling richly in the silence and the rain.
(Bridge)
Set your mind on things above
Where Christ is seated in majesty
Your life is hidden now in God
Dead to the world, set eternally free.
(Chorus)
For by Him all things were created
That are in heaven and that are on earth
Whether thrones or dominions
Or principalities or powers
All things were created through Him
(Chorus)
For by Him all things were created
That are in heaven and that are on earth
Whether thrones or dominions
Or principalities or powers
All things were created through Him
(Outro)
He is the image of the invisible God...
The firstborn over all creation...
In Him all fullness dwells…
And whatever you do or say,
do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ
