Lyrics

Who is the one we proclaim?
Jesus Christ our Lord
The mystery of God – what’s His name?
Jesus Christ our Lord

Who is within us, at work, sanctifying?
He who was once on the cross, for us dying,
Now resurrected, His church unifying,
Jesus Christ our Lord

Who makes our faith so secure?
Jesus Christ our Lord
Who makes us fully mature?
Jesus Christ our Lord

Who is within us, at work, sanctifying?
He who was once on the cross, for us dying,
Now resurrected, His church unifying,
Jesus Christ our Lord

Who reveals wisdom from God?
Jesus Christ our Lord
And who gives us courage of heart?
It’s Jesus Christ our Lord

Who is within us, at work, sanctifying?
He who was once on the cross, for us dying,
Now resurrected, His church unifying,
Jesus Christ our Lord
Jesus Christ our Lord

 

Artist’s note

If you’re working through Colossians, consider introducing your church to this song when nearing the end of chapter 1. The inspiration is Colossians 1:27–2:5 (with a quick visit to Col. 2:14–15 for part of the chorus).

One effective method for discipling children is a good old catechism brought with a bit of energy. What better answer could you have to a series of catechism questions than “Jesus Christ our Lord”!

It certainly isn’t a comprehensive treatment of the person of Christ—not even close. But we hope you can use it as an anthem to proclaim the glorious riches of Jesus Christ our Lord and His atoning, rising, sanctifying and unifying work on our behalf.

May he strengthen you for the task of proclaiming Him, “admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.”
