Disarmed

He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

Colossians 2:15

What power does this world have over me?

Jesus has ALL the authority.

He broke through all worldly power

at resurrection’s mighty hour!

The earthly powers are put to shame

by the mighty victory in His name.

What control does this world have over me?

Jesus commands ALL my destiny.

Following Him is worth all the cost

because He triumphs through the cross.

Nothing in human history

matches His holy victory.

Why be enamored with worldly power?

Death lost forever in that resurrection hour.

A stone was rolled away

for the dawning of our Savior’s day.

And the world is never the same

under the new rule of Jesus’ name!

Broken swords, mangled armies lay

shattered on Christ’s resurrection day.

Satan lost, all worldly fame

now trembles at the mention of Jesus’ name.

Worldly power has all but retreated

for in Jesus they are ALL now defeated.

Disarmed by Jesus they no longer stand

as the gospel advances from land to land.

Saints may boldly preach good news

as Satan’s forces are bound to lose.

We must believe, stay in the fight,

love and trust our Lord and ALL HIS might.
