We were chosen and predestined by Your mercy, love, and grace
For adoption as your children, long before the world was made
Our salvation has been given through the blood of Jesus Christ
His redemption and forgiveness makes us holy in His sight
We sing glory Hallelujah by His mercy we are saved
For apart from any merit we were chosen by His grace
Now all glory, praise and honor will be given to His Name
By the love of God His children have been saved
We have heard the word of Truth and we believe in Jesus Christ
We have followed and will follow through this battle known as life
God secures us and preserves us by His Spirit we are sealed
Holding fast to all His children, by the counsel of His will
Blessed be the God and Father of our Savior Jesus Christ
God the source of all our blessings now in heaven and in life
Our inheritance is certain, our reward is foreordained
So we stand upon the promises, Your faithful Word proclaims
Soon the time will come and the Christ will reign
Every knee will bow when they hear His Name
All His saints rejoice, all creation sing
Let Your kingdom come our King

Father of glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Give us a spirit of wisdom and sight
Open the eyes of our hearts to perceive,
Your lavish reward toward your saints who believe
According to all of your glory and might,
The endless abundance you promise in Christ
Whom You raised in glory and sat by Your side,
Above all authority, power, and might
Jesus, Jesus, exalted above every ruler and king
Jesus, Jesus, eternal dominion above everything
Our Father subjected all things under Christ,
And made him the Head of the Church in this life
Now we are His body, the fullness of Him,
Who fills every saint with His Spirit within
All knees will bow, All tongues proclaim
All knees will bow, All tongues proclaim
All knees will bow, All tongues proclaim
Jesus is Ruler above every Name

Made Alive (2:1-8)
03:14
|
|||
|
We were dead in our sins, we had lost innocence
We were sons of disobedience
We were led by our lusts, our desires captured us
We deserved the wrath of God to judge
But God being rich in His mercy and love
Poured out His wrath on His Son in place of us
We’re made alive in Jesus Christ
By grace we are saved through the faith given us
Far away, torn apart, without hope and without God
We were lost and separate from God
Bringing peace by His blood, He redeems and ransoms us
We rejoice, for Jesus died for us
|
||||
4. |
||||
|
By grace we are saved through faith
A faith that is given of God
Not by our works that no one may boast
For we are created in Christ
We are His handiwork, made new in Jesus
That we may now walk in good deeds
Which God predestined before His creation
To make all His children complete
|

The Church (2:11-22)
03:17
|
|||
|
Remember we were at one time separate, apart from Christ
Severed from the commonwealth of Israel
Aliens and strangers to the covenants He swore to do
Without hope and without God in this whole world
By the blood of Christ, We have been brought near
We are reconciled, We will persevere
Jesus is our peace, Crushing strife and sin
We are called the church, We are one new man
We are now made citizens, children by our Father’s plan
Gaining our inheritance through Jesus Christ
He’s the costly cornerstone, the One the church is founded on
We are now the temple where His Spirit hides
Sin has been abolished, The Law has been fulfilled
Enemies and sinners are now justified and sealed
The barrier is broken, The church is unified
The saints are now the temple that His Spirit occupies
|

Veiled in mystery, In the shadow He
Concealed His Servant in His quiver His Perfect Sharpened Arrow
Formed within the womb, to bring Jacob home
The Holy One, the Lord’s Redeemer A Light to all the nations
The mystery of Jesus Christ, that Jew and Gentile now unite
The Father made His Son a Light to gather all His children
The church the Lord’s eternal plan, concealed until the Son of Man
Was born and died and raised again, and now He calls His children to Him
We are fellow heirs of inheritance
Partakers of His promised blessing In Jesus through the Gospel
We are grafted in by the Father’s hand
The kindness and severity of God through this His Gospel
The Father formed His church to bring salvation to the earth
His Son He made a Light to bring salvation to all nations

We bow in reverent humility to You our God
We beg with passionate sincerity to You our Lord
Renew our hearts and minds with strength to follow with our lives
Oh Father, help us follow Christ
By the riches of Your glory, by the power of Your Spirit
Father strengthen us to walk and Jesus walked
By Your endless loving kindness, by Your unrestricted power
Father strengthen us to love and Jesus loved
Your saints are set apart, redeemed, forgiven, made alive
Your church moves in one heart to tell the world of Jesus Christ
Help us to vanquish sin, and persevere in righteousness
Oh Father, make us more like Christ
To God be all the glory in the church, in Jesus Christ
To every generation, always to the end of time

A Worthy Walk (4:1-3)
02:17
|
|||
|
Help us walk in a manner, worthy of Christ
Bearing fruit of Your Spirit in all of our lives
Help us grow in the knowledge of You and Your truth
Help us please You in all that we say and we do
With humility, gentleness, patience, and love
Bearing with one another as You do with us
In all diligence striving for oneness and peace
Persevering in goodness that faith may increase
With compassion, forgiveness, repentance, and grace
Showing kindness and mercy and love for Your saints
Holding fast to Your truth so we are not deceived
As the light of this world, may we shine faithfully

We Are One (4:4-16)
03:23
|
|||
|
The grace of God was given to each child of God in Faith
And each child of God is gifted, by His Father made unique
Jesus conquered sin and Satan, Rose in triumph over grave
Now His Spirit fills the hearts of all His saints
We are one, we are one
One church, one call, one hope, one bond, one faith the saved are one
We are one, like God is one
Like the Trinity, unique unity We’re the church and we are one
By His grace each saint is gifted and equipped to serve His church
To instruct, support, discern and warn that all may stand mature
To be grounded in the Scriptures, so that we are not deceived
For the building up of all those who believe
We are to grow into the image of Christ
We are to know and to do what is right
Jesus our Lord is our Shepherd and strength
He will guide and abide in His sheep

Put Off Put On (4:17-32)
03:19
|
|||
|
No longer walk, with a darkened mind
Separated from God, being morally blind
Do not live, with a hardened heart
Being calloused and deaf to the calling of God
We must strive to live our lives like Christ (x3)
Humble and contrite
Put off the old, Put on the new
We have learned and know that this is true
We’re created in the likeness of our God
Put off the old, put on the new
With our spirits and our minds renewed
Imitating lovingkindness like our God
So put away, Your old deceitful self
Once corrupted by sin which resulted in death
Now put on, your recreated heart
Being righteous and holy, in the likeness of God
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, loving others
Forgiving others just as God in Christ forgives
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
We must lay aside deceitfulness and lies
and always speak the truth
In our anger we may never, ever sin,
but in patience we forgive
Put all bitterness, and wrath, and pride away
Put forgiveness, love, and mercy on always
(So Now) Put away all selfishness and pride
Now put on humility and selfless love in Christ
We must never steal but labor hard with skill
and always share our gain
We must never speak unwholesome, hurtful words,
but we speak in truth and grace
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit
Obey His Word whenever you hear it
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit
|

Impurity nor greed, nor immorality
Should ever, ever be in our walk
No speech that is perverse, nor coarse and hurtful words
Should evermore be heard when we talk
As the children of God, we must walk in love
As Jesus loved, giving His life, dying for us
As the children of Light, we must sacrifice
Giving our lives, fighting the fight, dying for Christ, dying for Christ
No words that may deceive, nor dark unfruitful deeds
Should ever, ever be in our lives
All things will be exposed, All secrets will be known
The dark is overcome by the Light
We are imitators of our God
Living now as children of the Light
Learning what is pleasing to our Lord
Striving now to live like Jesus Christ
|
||||

We’re to walk in love, just as Christ loves us
We’re to give ourselves, as he gave his son
Leave the wicked world behind
Let no words deceive your mind
Expose the darkness, shine a light
Walk in wisdom, discerning what is right
You were darkness once, now you are the light
Doing what is good, what is true and right
Put all foolishness aside
Put on righteousness and light
Awake, O sleeper, and arise
From the dead and Christ will shine
|
||||
14. |
Awake O Sleeper (5:14)
03:41
|
|||
|
Awake, O sleeper Arise from the dead
And Christ will shine on you
Arise and shine your light has come
The glory of God has risen upon
Seek the Lord while He is found
Call on Him while He is near
Turn from sin in faith Repent
For the Lord, through Christ, forgives
|

Spirit Filled (5:15-22)
03:25
|
|||
|
Be careful how you walk, pure, and true, and wise
Make the most of time in this life
Do not be the fool, learn, and know, His truth,
Imitate the character of Christ
Being Spirit filled - Surrender to the Father’s will
Being Spirit filled - Obeying all His Word reveals
Being Spirit filled - Mercy, love, and truth reveal
Those who are submissive to His will are Spirit filled
Speak to one another now in psalms and hymns and songs
Sing with melody to God, Rejoice in Christ alone
Always giving thanks for everything we have in life
Humble and submissive, growing in the fear of Christ
|

Christ is the Head of the body,
His body, the church, is His bride
Selfless and humble, she gladly submits,
Lovingly faithful to Christ
Christ gave His life as a ransom
The church is redeemed by His blood
Selfless and humble, forsaking Himself
In sacrifice for her good
Husbands should lay down their lives for their wives
As Christ gave His life for His bride
Wives serve and honor your husbands in love
This is the command of God
Christ loves the church without measure
And treasures His bride evermore
Washing and cleansing His bride with His Word
Presenting her holy and pure
Christ is now joined with His body
The two become one without end
Eternally married forever to Christ
The bride will abide in the Lamb
Husbands should love and should cherish their wives
As Christ glorifies His own bride
Wives serve and honor your husbands in love
This is the command of God
|
||||
17. |

Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right
Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right
Honor, your father, and mother evermore
When you obey them it pleases Christ our Lord
|

The Lord corrects and disciplines His children whom He loves
It is for discipline that we endure
If we are without discipline then we are not His sons
It is by discipline that we are sure
The one who does not discipline, impedes and hates his son
It is through discipline that we mature
That we may share His holiness, He disciplines for good
It is by discipline that we are pure
Fathers raise your children faithfully,
Through discipline and counseling
Training and instructing them to follow Christ
For it yields the fruit of righteousness
To those who have been trained by it
Guiding them, Abiding in the Word of life
Parents do not break the spirit of your children
Nor provoke your child to anger causing them to be embittered
With compassion teach your child through admonition
Always lavish them with wisdom, root the Word of God within them
|

In All You Do (6:5-9)
05:10
|
|||
|
Slaves obey your human lords with fear and trembling
Submit in love and reverence with generosity
Not as pleasing men not only faithful when you’re seen
Serve in honor from the heart with all sincerity (to Christ)
In all you do, with all your soul
With eager hands, not pleasing men, work hard to please the Lord
In all you do, with all your heart
As slaves of Christ, strive in this life, your Father will reward
Masters treat your human slaves with love and charity
Speak in truth and always show impartiality
The Son of Man came serving and He humbly gave His life
The Master washed His servants feet, now likewise image Christ
Renew your mind, Retrain your heart,
That you may know, the will of God
Renew your mind , Retrain your heart
The Word reveals the Father’s will be faithful where you are
|

We must stand firm in this war
The enemy schemes to deceive and destroy
With forces of darkness and sin
That rage in the hearts and the minds of all men
Put on the armor, Put on the armor of God
- Be strong in the Lord
Put on the armor, Put on the armor of God - In the strength of His might
Put on the armor, Put on the armor of God - Stand firm in the Lord
Put on the armor, Put on the armor of God - For this day we will fight
Our battle is not flesh and blood,
But rulers and forces in wicked accord
The prince of the power of the air
The doctrines of hell that mislead and ensnare
Gird your life with His truth Be holy and righteous
Stand firm in good news Our Father will fight for us
Take up the shield of the faith and
Extinguish the arrows of Satan’s temptation
Pursue rectitude, now crowned with salvation
E’er wielding His truth, the sword of His Spirit
Pray at all times in the Spirit
Be careful, enduring in firm perseverance
|

So that you may know, how it goes, and how I fare
Tychicus will come, my faithful one, to meet you there
So that you may know, be consoled, and rest your heart
Though I am in chains, I still remain, in the hands of God
I will wear these chains to declare your name my Lord
Peace be to the brothers
Love and faith from God the Father
Grace to all who love the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
