Image of the Unseen God

Col 1:15. This and the several verses after it, are pretty fascinating. Paul writes about Jesus being the visible manifestation of the God who cannot be contained by the laws of vision.

I once was lost out in the cold
Jesus died to find my soul
What once was broken, he made whole
Image of the unseen God.

Giving up his princely throne
Jesus left his Heavenly home
Chose to face the cross alone
Image of the unseen God.

Author of redeeming grace
Jesus came to take my place
Now I long to see his face
Image of the unseen God.

Reconcile my heart again
Blood of Jesus, cleanse within
Present me holy, free from sin
Image of the unseen God.

Jesus, Light to the darkness
Shine so we can see the Father's Love.
Jesus, image of holiness
Clear our eyes to see the light of God.
