“All Things Through Him”

(Inspired by Colossians 1:16)

1

Before the first breath of creation,
before light touched the void,
before time began its rhythm,
He was.

2

Through Him, the heavens stretched wide,
the earth took form,
the stars found their place,
and life began to sing.

3

The seen and the unseen,
the mountains that rise,
the winds that move unseen,
all made by His hand.

4

Kings rise and kingdoms fall,
thrones built and thrones broken,
yet all bow beneath
the One who reigns forever.

5

The rulers of the earth,
the powers beyond sight,
the wisdom of men,
none stand apart from Him.

6

He is not held by time,
not bound by limits,
not shaped by hands,
but all things are shaped through Him.

7

Nothing exists without Him,
nothing holds together apart from Him,
nothing finds purpose outside of Him,
for He is before all things.

8

The breath in our lungs,
the path beneath our feet,
the sun that rises,
all belong to Him.

9

Not one thing was made in vain,
not one life is unseen,
all were formed by His wisdom,
for His glory alone.

10

Through Him, for Him, in Him—
all things hold together,
all things find meaning,
all things return to Him.

The Path of Faith

The voice of the Lord is never silent,
Calling forth strength, speaking of promise,
Yet hearts are restless, seeking their own way,
Blind to the One who holds all things,
Yet His hands never let go.

The earth trembles at His name,
His covenant stands unshaken,
Yet many walk away in darkness,
Believing they see while stumbling,
Forgetting the light was always near.

Truth is a fire that cannot fade,
Yet the world covers its eyes,
Preferring the comfort of deception,
Though the chains remain unseen,
And the soul longs for release.

Yet death has lost its hold,
Christ has shattered the grave,
The feet that follow Him will not fall,
For His path is sure and steady,
A road marked by the light of grace.

So let the name of the Lord be lifted high,
From age to age, from dawn to dusk,
For He alone is worthy of praise,
And those who walk in His way,
Will stand forever in His presence.

But His promise is never undone,
Though many may turn, my steps will remain,
For His hands are my steady ground.

For my hope is in the Living One,
Death is broken, its power is gone,
The grave has no claim on me.

(Verse 4)
The lies of the world may call me away,
But my heart will not be moved,
For His word is a light upon my path,
And my soul will follow still.

(Verse 5)
Blessed be His name forevermore,
For He is faithful, He is true,
The heavens declare what hearts forget,
That He alone is King.

For He has set my feet to stand,
No fear, no doubt, no voice will shake,
For His strength will carry me. (Chorus)
I will stand, I will trust,
For He has called, He has won,

STEPS OF A MAN (PS. 37:23-24)

placed by hands unseen.

the road may darken without warning,
yet even in the fall,
His grip remains unbroken.

Not every step is steady,
not every choice is wise,
but mercy walks beside,
and grace restores what falters.

The journey is not walked alone,
nor guided by uncertain hands,
each footfall marked by promise,
each moment held by God.
