Analysis of Do All (Colossians 3)



You know your place.
You search Christ’s face.
You know the New Man has arrived.
Your lusts locked up.
Yes led to death.
The Old Man spends his failing
Breath.
You seek the truth
Now mean lies past
And stealing, all
Oppression gone.
The thoughts of Christ
Now lead you on.
Whate’er the task
Vocation held.
“As unto Christ”.
Must be your song.
