In the Past (Acoustic Version) Lyrics

In the past God spoke to our forefathers

Through the prophets at many times and in various ways

But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son

Whom he appointed heir of all things

And through whom he made the universe

The Son is the radiance of God's glory

And the exact representation of his being

Sustaining all things by the word of his power

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form

And in Christ you have been brought to fullness

He is the head over every power and authority

And in Christ you have been brought to fullness

The Son is the image of the invisible God

The firstborn over all creation

For by him all things were created

Things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible

Whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities

All things have been created through him and for him

He is before all things

And in him all things hold together
