If then
you have been raised with Christ,
set your minds
on things of heaven,
Not on the earthly dust,
For your old ways have died,
now what is you
is Christ,
the true and just,
abiding light!

If then
you have been raised with Christ,
Seek things
that are above,
Where He
is seated at God’s right hand,
Enfolded in His own love.
yes, friend,
he is enfolded within
his own love

Jesus puts off the old and broken ways,
The anger, wrath, and pride, so fierce
which consumed your days
he lays
down the words
that hurt to pierce,
And casts them all aside.
For he has clothed your soul
fully new
Renewed in truth
and grace,
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,

If then
you have been raised with Christ,
Seek things
that are above,
Where He
is seated at God’s right hand,
Enfolded in His own love.
yes, friend,
he is enfolded within
his own love

Now Christ is here in every space
As God’s chosen, holy, and beloved,
He clothes your heart brand new
each day
With kindness, meekness, gentleness,
To guide you on your way.
Lord, we surrender
to you today
yes, we surrender to you today

Bear with each other
in your grief,
Forgive as Christ forgave,
And bind them all in perfect love—and peace
The greatest gift He gave.
was his own son
And let the peace of Jesus Christ
Rule in your hearts as one,
And always offer up your thanks
For all that He has done.
Let the word of Christ dwell rich in you,
In wisdom, praise, and song,
With gratitude within your hearts,
To whom we all belong.

If then
you have been raised with Christ,
Seek things
that are above,
Where He
is seated at God’s right hand,
Enfolded in His own love.
yes, friend,
he is enfolded within
his own love
