Based on Colossians 1:13-18
Praise to the Father of our Lord Jesus:
For He rescued us from the kingdom of darkness,
and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
Praise to Christ
in whom we have freedom and forgiveness of sins.
We lift up the name of Jesus
for He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of all creation.
By Him all things were created,
both in the heavens and on earth,
visible and invisible,
including thrones and kingdoms,
rulers and authorities,
everything was created through him and for him.
We praise Jesus as our Lord.
He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
Christ is also head of the Body, the church;
through him God made peace
with everything in heaven and on earth
through Christ’s blood on the cross.
Therefore Jesus is always first in our hearts,
We value and worship Him above everything else!
Amen
