This song is the result of one of my recent morning devotion readings in Colossians. It is about how although Jesus created all things, He is also the firstborn of all creation, and the firstborn from the dead! How can these things be? Well, we know that He was born in Bethlehem, and He was Mary's firstborn Son, but we also know from 1 Cor. 15:45 that Jesus was the second or last Adam. Therefore, He is firstborn in preeminence or importance, because He was born in fulfillment of the promise in Gen. 3:15 whose heal would be bruised, but who would bruise the head of the Serpent, which of course represents Satan. He is the firstborn of the dead because without His resurrection there would be no resurrection for anyone, no matter who was raised from the dead first chronologically. In short, Jesus, the second person of the Godhead, became a human being in order to redeem us! That makes Him the firstborn of creation and the firstborn from the dead! There can be no birth nor death and resurrection more important to humanity!

May this song be a powerful blessing to all who hear it.

(For it is Christ) In whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Who is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of every creature:

For by him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions,
or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.

And he is the head of the body,
the church: who is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Colossians one, fourteen through eighteen.
