I'm contending for you, though we've never met
Encouraged in heart, in love beset
In Christ the mystery, wisdom unfolds
All treasures of knowledge, in Him we behold
In Christ alone, we find our way
The fullness of God, our debt, He did pay
Deceptive lives will lead us astray
In Him we're rooted, in Him we stay
Though absent in body, with you I stand
Disciplined and firm, in Christ's command
Live as you've received, built up in faith
Overflowing in thanks, in His grace stay safe
In Christ alone, we find our way
The fullness of God, our debt, He did pay
Deceptive lives will lead us astray
In Him we're rooted, in Him we stay
Though be captive to hollow schemes
Human traditions, worldly dreams
In Christ is the fullness, deity's form
He brings us to life, from the storm reborn
Nailed to the cross, our sins erased
Powers disarmed, by His grace embraced
Shadowed things fade, reality shines
In Christ we grow, in His design
In Christ alone, we find our way
The fullness of God, our debt, He did pay
Deceptive lives will lead us astray
In Him we're rooted, in Him we stay
Don't submit to the world's empty rules
False humility, the guise of fools
In Christ we die, in Him we arise
No value in lies, in Him we're wise
In Christ alone, our faith is true
Rooted in love, made alive, made new
He is the head, our authority
In Christ we find our victory
