[Warning] Let no persuasive speech carry the heart, For treasures of wisdom in Christ are not part. Rooted and built, established in faith, Abounding with thanks where the gospel was placed. [Verse I] Beware empty philosophy shaped by the world, Tradition of men where the elements rule. In Christ all the fullness of Godhead resides, And ye are complete under Him who is Head. [Chorus] Buried and risen with Him, Through faith in the working of God. Dead in transgression, made living together, Forgiven and raised by the power of the Son. Buried and risen with Him, The old record no longer can stand. [Victory] The handwriting against us was taken away, Nailed to the cross where its charges were stayed. Principalities spoiled and openly shown, The triumph belongs to the crucified Lord. [Verse II] Let no one judge you in meat, drink, or days, The shadows once pointed, but Christ is the substance. Let no false humility steal the reward, Intruding in visions while severed from Head. [Bridge] Why live under rules as though still of the world, Touch not and taste not as holiness earned? Self-made religion may punish the flesh, Yet cannot restrain what the heart still desires. [Final Chorus] Buried and risen with Him, Complete in the Head over power and throne. The cross canceled debt and exposed every ruler, And faith holds the life God has raised with His Son. [Outro] The shadows had a purpose, But the substance is Christ.
