Paul writes to Colossae
Not complaining of his chains
Freedom for himself is not
Something for which he strains
He implores them to keep praying
To be thankful and assured
The most important freedom
Is the sharing of the Word
The mystery of Christ
That longs to be revealed
Is that good news all creation
Through it, could be healed
He even reminds himself
To stay focused on clarity
The good news is not simply
Offering the world a bit more charity
But take every opportunity
To reveal the mystery of Christ
The resurrected Savior
Who did more than say “be nice.”
He gave up his own body
And was then resurrected
So that New Creation Life
Could be something we expected…
